>Interesting. Just another reason for our stock market to tank. News like that or hearing that a tree fell in the woods, or a fly flapped its wings can set off our stock market in a negative direction. One thing for sure, the CEO's will get a bonus regardless of what happens to the world economy. :)

While I fully expect the market to "tank" eventually, possibly back to 2008 crash levels, I am no longer in the camp that expects it soon. There are WAY too many analysists predicting a correction and the contrarian in me suggests that we're going higher. Once seemingly everyone is on board with the "market going higher" theme, that's when the bubble will burst.

Obviously this is slightly toungue in cheek but combined with a number of other factors I've been following I just don't see this fizzling out soon.

Of course, my recent predictions have been spotty at best so a complete collapse this afternoon would not surprise me. ;)
