6th Grade Science: How Far Can It Go?
I keep hearing this commercial, "the End of America as we know it." I have also heard another prophet talk about "American ascendancy." These guys are both right and both wrong, but it is amazing to get two distinct visions out of the same crystal ball with the same data.
Lately, the market has gone up and up like a helium filled balloon. Back in the 6th grade before anyone was worried about the environment, we would attach our name to a balloon filled with helium and let them go asking the people who found them to send them back. Some came down right away and some made it from Indiana to New York. The same balloon, let go at the same time, with the same amount of helium. Two different outcomes. Confusing, right? Well it happens in the market the same way. We can have the same data and the market moves higher or lower.
As I have warned you about in the past, Greece is bankrupt. It is starting to rear
its ugly head again and weighing on the markets today after we all knew this was
going to happen and the markets have shrugged off the news and headed higher anyways.
Following this, Italy will have to finance 90 billion euros between February and
April alone to refinance its debt. We will see some impact here in the US. However,
to say the End of America is quite over the top. Just because one person shouts
louder than the other or puts it in print does not make them right. On the other
hand, I have often spoke about corporate balance sheets and the amount of cash on
hand. Did you also know that the percentage of debt-
Another voice against our economy says we will need to wrestle with the amount of
debt we are putting on our books. I do agree with this, but it is not yet come home
to roost quite yet. Conversely, one thing to boost our economy greatly is the amount
of low-
So both can be right in part and both can be wrong in part, however, what does that
mean for the investor. Franky, it means not much will happen in 2012 with the presidential
cycle looming and Europe addressing its problems. It does mean this market may be
at a near-

Past Present Future:
Marvels Never Cease.
Will modern day marvels never cease? France, Germany and Japan are in a recession. China is slowing down in the single digits. The markets continue to move upward in spite of the latest Greece news and wall of worry out of the Middle East. Nice job!
In fact, I am glad to see more people are finding jobs here in the USA. Europe maybe having its problems, but the companies in the USA are adapting and overcoming quite a few obstacles, including the ones thrown up by our own government. The bottom line, pent up demand is causing businesses to hire to garner those extra profits that are easily available. They just need someone to do the work.
What is the fair value of this market given the problems in Europe and potential issues between Israel and Iran? Well it would be much simpler if the Federal Reserve allowed interest rates to seek a normal level. Since this is not the case. I think the market is currently fairly valued. Now it needs the next catalyst to send it higher or lower. Higher would be Europe getting its affairs in order, and Iran having some resemblance of a leadership that is not going to defy every country in the world. One may happen, the other, slim pickens (not the old singer).
What about our long-
Speaking further of Modern Marvels, maybe Captain America and his host of superpower friends can spur enough liquidity and reel it back in to keep inflation down and the markets moving higher. You just never know, we will have to wait for the next episode or sequel.
