And imagine how good it would be if instead of working for their wallet, people worked for the advancement of humanity itself.

They do. By working for their wallet. Implicit cooperation for mutual gain is what the market is.

We're talking about seperate things. You're talking investing strategy, I'm talking economics. My point generally would be that what most people think of as inflation really isn't, because over the years they've confused symptoms with cause.

Maybe Invalid Link Removed will help. And I say maybe because I just skimmed it, and my memory of CAPM is hazy to say the least. I checked the wiki and it may as well be in French at this point. But I notice you're not averse to citing from mises.org yourself, so it might be in terms that join the two approaches, art and science, nicely for you.

And me too. I need a refresher.

Liquidity. LBO firms [Private Equity] are receiving unprecedented financing terms. The pensions are throwing billions at Blackstone, Cerberus... and we're seeing huge deals each week. Alcoa bids for Alcan, and then an over the top bid comes in from a white knight, lifting the entire sector on the reval.

The subprime/CDS fiasco is worse than reported, but we'll go higher until the flow of cash dries up. or every ticker gets taken private!

The older players in the market are just sucking in more "new investor" cash, which they will use to leverage themselves during the massive sell off that is eminent.

Does it bother anyone else that the stockmarket keeps going up without any economic factor that might justify trader confidence???

The only factor i see is that the US national debit was cut in half
