This is Adam Hewison for MarketClub, I'll see you Monday, have a great weekend.
Totally complaincent market
Jose, you are absolutely correct in your comments. I guess there are many others like you (me included) who are still wondering what the next moves in the market will be. Short term may be slightly more predictable, but for the longer-term, who really knows??? Suffice to say that we should always be mindful of the adage........"The Market Is Always Right". All the best in your trading/investment efforts.

After following your commentaries over the previous months I thought that the Greek crisis, debt, etc (which you emphasized was a brewing storm so strongly not many months ago) would be dragging us under. In particular, your disdain for government monetary intervention into the economy. What happened to your prediction?
Adams prediction is valid. It is not "if" but "when" the financial world as we know it will come apart. The devaluation(printing) of our currency, and the negligible interest rates on our savings is wiping out the middle class, including the fastest growing segment of society, the over 65 club. History from Roman times to date tells us there is no free lunch. Sooner all later the bills come due, and when we can't borrow anymore, then what?
Mike, it's very simple, when the bills come due and we can't borrow anymore, we start war in the name of Humanitarian Intervention.
