A lot of charts, a lot of work, and a lot of failed exponential trends.

But what does it mean?

Housing fell off a cliff from the burst bubble. Financial instruments have leveled off and/or declined. Is that because capital available for trading has leveled off?

But what does it mean? The peak of a Grand SuperCycle. It's all downhill from here.

But what does it mean?

Pension funds are going to have a very difficult time meeting their 8% return targets?

Speaking of trend failures...

Flashback to "Berserker"

A parabolic cannonball into a frozen pool under the assumption that the ice would break under your weight?

I think we know why it is called an ASSumption now, lol.

Better chance of the ice breaking than getting 8% returns.

TJandTheBear,

If only Bernanke would set the inflation rate at 8%. We might have a chance then, lol. Sigh.
