Also, in this episode, I read an email I received from a rather aggravated listener that asks why I can’t be more positive about the present market conditions and economic outlook. In response, I feel it is important to apologize and take back all of the bad things I said about the markets since June, 2007. Listen; it was all a joke, everything is fine..Everything is going to be fine… I am sooooo sorry that I was negative and helped to create a global market imbalance. I will make it right and put it all back in order now…I have the power!!!!!! (Yeah right!)
