The stimulation for the next recovery might be even more limited, given the extremes in current leverage and rates. If we follow the Japanese model, stocks could go down for several years, bonds go up even further, as the dollar rallies, materials and energy stocks do poorly. In this scenario, Gold diverges from the dollar and rallies strongly.

    If bonds make new highs from here, won’t that continue the housing boom?

    And if the housing boom continues, won’t it provide more fuel for the stock market?

    Its not so much that Japan is pulling the US down, as their experience post 1989 crash sets an example of what we may be in for.

    If you believe that marekts are merely a result of human activity, and that is only a reflection of Human nature, well the next step is that all of these crashes — 1929, ’89, and 2000 should look roughly parallel . . .
