When the Bears become Bulls, Give It Up, It's Only Up from Here in the Intermediate Term

If you don't understand this post, then no offense, but I will be enjoying the money from those who bet wrong. I called the top a few weeks back and there have been minor gains, but that's it.

The credit market is almost 400% of GDP

Household debt is 130% of disposable personal income.

The savings rate is rocketing up, although income is going down.

Government consumption is going up a bit, and private consumption is going down quick.

Capacity utilization is at 68%, the lowest since 1970.

Household net worth has the longest string of losses since 1950.

Comments appreciated.
