    Great analysis David. I think you can be confident of one thing. That the current sideways movement will break either up or down. Maybe depending on exactly how exhausted those bears are. Reply

    This is excellent analysis. It refutes what David Swenson of Yale says when he stated recently that the retail investor shouldn't and couldn't do what he does.

    Although not precisely the same obviously as the active team that MR. Swneson leads to manage Yales billions, this apporach represents a way forward.

    In fact, you present a way, as others have done, for a retail investor to passively allocate assets globally, and rationally. Thanks for the article.     Reply

    It was an Arkansas farmer but I'm restricted regarding jokes with a political slant. Reply

    Brilliant as usual, although I do wish you'd finish what you were saying about the farmer's daughter... Reply

    So precisely what weightings (percentages) would I use for each asset class if I want to use this model portfolio? Thanks. Reply

    The problem with exports and a week dollar is that it works in the short term. Those that export, also consume, so after a while they will have to rise their prices just to stay even. So I would not count on them to provide more jobs in the near future. Also you could see some extra taxes in the future in order to compensate for the ones lost because of housing.
    Rising population is not going to increase spending, but it may even reduce it. It is pretty hard to spend at Starbucks when you have an extra mouth to feed.
    The market is very volatile right now, so it is very hard to peak a good stock, because there aren't many of them so everybody is trying a flight to safety.
    BTW, don't bet on technology, very few will do well, and by few I mean one or two.     Reply

    The bottom was in January. The action in March was a lower-volume retest. Reply

    Consumers power the market. If the dollar stays low or continues to decline, export sales will ramp up and prevent great job losses. Although high prices for commodity necessities plus housing value losses are crimping consumer spending, and will continue to do so for some time, a 6-12 month timetable for production adjustments to reduce those prices does not seem to me unreasonable. With our population growth, aggregate spending will resume its rise even if per capita spending does not. Combine exports with flat to slightly improved consumer spending within the year, and you get a resumption of sales and profits. Reply

    I agree, it is always an enjoyment to read articles from David. Good humor.
    But my guess is bulls havent won finally. Lets wait for the earnings period to be over.     Reply

    this fed and government are working overtime to help the american consumer. there's an election coming up, for added incentive. yes, earnings will be miserable and writedowns might keep coming, but we're reaching levels that should draw private equity and foreign investors into the buyout arena.
