Why It Is Important to Start Reinvesting Now

Good, well thought-out and logical article. One thing that remains an unknown is the effect on the price of oil the OPEC meeting later next week might have.
Based on their past history, we may assume that they will "say one thing and do another" either way their actions may in fact establish a base of around $75-$90 for a barrel of crude oil.
Shiv....if the market does not get the capitulation of the energy stocks like you wrote, is it possible that this sector is at the bottom now?

I certainly do not read the current economic climate to be in as dire a condition as the author states it is, or predicts it will become. Our "at home" industrial diversity and our "global" market positions in nearly every commodity, both as a producer and end product user, provides us an unprecedented protection from deliberate malicious interference in our economy.
Our monetary system is often maligned, misused and misguided by those who are in command to govern such matters; but it is the system that I choose to back my currency; not a gold coin or a silver nickel.
The global community looks to us for leadership and guidance in world economic matters. That "community" will do everything in their financial power to make sure their investments in our dollar remain sound investments.
This article seems to me to be more appropriate if it were addressed to a third world audience, not here in the USA. Not now and not in the foreseeable future.
