with all of those sock people - Wot? The ones footing the bill?

economy itself will rebound - not before it takes a huge hit. At the moment the stock market is boyant, fed by "the Fed". But when QE runs out, it will run down. Then it will pick up - eventually. My prognosis is a dip every 15** years or so, give or take an unrelated crisis. and we are up to 12.5 already. If you think 2008 was tough - hold on ta yer hat.

**because that is a generation that were too young to understand and assimilate the lessons the last time.
