This "leading up to the election" stuff should be crystal clear to everyone at this point. I am not sure anyone can deny it.
Gas prices hitting record lows. Dow hitting record highs. Economy has sucked since Jan 2, 2001 (tech bubble bursting - what happens when false confidence leads to bloated, overvalued market - Clinton doing exactly what Bush is doing now).
Does everyone feel richer than they have in the last 6 years? Or is most of this new DOW wealth in the hands of a very few?
Monster crash coming right after Christmas 2006. Jan 2 again? Anyone?
