So far, these latest bubbles are paying off pretty well…with US stocks up more than 60% and emerging markets more than double what they were at the bottom last march." Yes, I've been saying that for quite some time about you doomers here who have missed a great rally. Don't worry, it's not too late to get in, we got a long way to run up still. “Or maybe we’re the idiots.

For most investors a phony recovery is as good as a real one..." I think that was the best Bonnerism for today. “But who cares? For most investors a phony recovery is as good as a real one…”

Who needs them? Better to live in fresh houses than those thousands of foreclosed ones that have been abused by their former "owners". Why didn't they build that huge airport in the Everglades in the Nixon administration? Environmental disaster? Hrmph. Hahah, LaRRRy, good one!

So are shuttered factories, storefronts, commercial office space. True, foreclosed homes are a definition of tangible valuable items.

I don't agree with. The "boom" did create real, tangible valuable items. Unlike the dot com boom/bust that just left empty offices filled with Herman Miller chairs, this real estate boom-bust did create real tangible things, here in Florida entire new communities were carved out of Everglades, and new infrastructure was built to support it, and these things will have lasting value. So can someone explain this: So far, the ‘recovery’ is as phony as the boom that preceded it. In more detail? I agree with most of the articles on this site, but this line here:

If we had gone the other way and let banks and companies just go it on their own, do you think we would be in much worse condition? People don't think well, for example they believe jobs should recover first. As long as interest rates on savings are below 5%, money is going into the stock market. There are many shorting the market and they may get burned. It appears that the Fed has been doing the right thing even if bankers may not.
