Is it a u . Maybe its an l. Or perhaps its a z. Or maybe its a w. Or a nike swish. We keep hearing people argue about the shape of the recovery. But this whole debate misses the point. The defining question of this market is very simple. Will we have a depression . Anything that makes a depression less likely causes stocks to explode higher thats what yesterdays rally was about.

Just the feeling that everyone has at the same time that you express. Thats all it is thats many times that is the indicator. Do you think do you think we have more to go . Well, i understand the focus on the equity
