Financial history doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes. You can't be stupid enough to trade off anything I say.... I'm lucky they let me out of the straight-jacket long enough to trade.

I rufuse to argue this

There is this long post in my head about how the Inflation of the 1970's was caused by......

in the 1950's and 1960's there was a ton of hubris in the economics community, that One could "control the buisness cycle"... based on Keynes...

and JFK and LBJ figured "Well shit! if I just spend shitloads... it's good for the Economy. So... Space program, and LBJ had a "War on Poverty"... also the Vietnam War.

Now... ok we have had a war... and some foolish spending in the past 8 years....

But between JFK and the inflation scare of 1975... which drove the market down....

And Nixon pulled us off the gold standard....

but that is still 1961-1975... that is over 14 years of spending...

and in the early 1970's was the financial crisis..... and it wasn't till 5 years later that we had the inflation scare....

and in the early 1970's there was inflation.....

BUT look at this.
