When the economy folds? The economy is booming.

Not hardly. Only the stock market is booming, but stay tuned.


The stock market is booming because investment is booming because GNP is
booming...

Yes. Other nations are in similar straits (% wise) with much weaker

dollar.

Then, there are a few airlines going broke, overvalued housing with
negative equity mortgages, and rapidly rising energy prices.

And for all that, the US is much more able to cope with changing conditions
than just about any nation on Earth and much more so than any large nation.
