Honestly, it’s getting entirely too predictable.
Stocks (equities) get “marked upâ€Â

Thank you Tim.
A complex analysis that is written in an easy to follow and very coherent manner.
I knew it was coming a couple of years ago. Not having any investments (worked for non-profits and never earned that much) the NYSE is like a mysterious place that I know the doorway to, but I really get lost in the forest. I've never taken the time to learn much about it, it's not my interest area.
The politics of all of it were pretty clear indicators for me but it's nice to have an umbrella knowledge.
Thanks for the information.

Tim:
In "Stock Market Follies," Chris Sanders, from Sanders Research Associates LTD, makes an interesting point about how the system works.
His conclusion involves the huge increases in money supply, where that money will land and real estate in areas ripe for gentrification.
Key points:
1. "Earnings are up on global infrastructure spending and the outlook is for much more where that came from. Money supply growth world wide is surging, led by the US, where broad money growth is well over 12% per annum.
2. "The idea that the real estate problem in the US has “wiped outâ€Â

Like most people I don't really understand what the Dow Jones Industrial Average means, or what its number and changes in that number means. So I looked it up on Wikipedia. It is the average (share) price of 30 U.S. Corporations. Presumably the 30 largest corporations here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:DJIA ... _graph.svg
As you can see by the graph, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen sharply in the last 30 years. and even more drastically in the last 20 years.
The data doesn't explain what share these 30 corporations total revenues represent of our nations total GDP or how that relates to their share price value.
The graph does imply there has been some drastic change in financial reasoning behind stock speculation and how it is paid for. If our currency isn't backed by Gold, is it implicitly sort of backed by the stock market performance? More specifically, by this particular collection of thirty stocks? Are stocks a currency?
However, all things being relative, if the Dow dropped to 5000 it would still be 5 times what it was in 1980. that more than beats inflation. It is ok.
The Fed Bank can keep lowering interest rates. They can lower them to negative interest rates. They can pay people(the right people) to borrow money.
