...the “New Normal” – slow economic growth, high unemployment, and accelerating inflation.

“The New Normal will be an inherent part of our economy for years to come,” he said.

Barton Biggs, who Gross called the poet laureate of the investment industry, encapsulated this line of thinking when he said that markets were good “because whenever they and the economy have gone down, they’ve gone back up to higher levels.” ...

"Based on Hyperdimensional Physics, Richard C. Hoagland successfully predicted the historic results of this election almost two years ago! In this production, based on further application of this HD Model, Hoagland now presents never-before-seen clues to what America and the world may expect from this incoming, unique "Hyperdimensional Obama Administration" -- including, what Barack Obama may finally do with NASA's decades of classified data on intelligent artifacts discovered on the Moon and Mars, as well as what could be in store for all of us at the end of Obama's first term ... in "2012."

There were four massive stock bubbles in the 20th Century: 1901, 1929, 1966, and 2000.

After the first three of these peaks, the S&P 500 PE did not bottom until it hit 5X-8X. We're still in the middle of the last one.
