Does this data series look like the Markets are doing thier job of Capital formation? This data series says they are not, hence better reread the post too which this is a reply.
All intent is designed to construct favorable effects to meet systems ends. Seeing the market as a System of Systems changes everything. Here is where all the data are adjudicated. Until one comes to terms with these facts, your views dont matter, your opinions, just iterated GIGO (garbage in, garbage out). You yourself may be enlisted to systemic contrivances for any number of reasons. You are subject to counter programming, just like the victims of your own complicity. Observation changes the very state of the particles observed.....
Relationships between system elements change...no one will tell you in advance, that what they guaranteed your little compartment, can and will fail.
