 But as the last four years have shown, you also have to allow for the possibility, or perhaps probability, that the world as we know it isn't ending --  and that the global economy will keep expanding

I am very positive on the future economic developments, until Peak Oil hits. Whenever that will be. Anyway, overweighting oil stocks should give some hedge.


Gap between financing and pricing of stocks. Yellow is long term interest rates.


Pricing of European stocks.

So yeah, stocks are up, but that's because profits are up. And profits have gone up more than stocks.


Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

I think worldwide markets are going to have a strong run for the balance of this year, and maybe again next.  My uranium mining stocks may be somewhat of a hedge on the energy side.

do you expect profits to keep on growing? They already take the highest ever share of value added in all recorded history.
