Forest Fires: The S&P 500 has now fallen from 1580 to the high 600s, down 57% and counting, despite intervention and cheerleading. If, instead, we'd let the market have its way with companies it didn't like, more than a year ago, without government bailouts or interference or attempts to restore an unsustainable status quo, I am skeptical that we'd be much worse off now.
We would perhaps have had a fierce forest fire and now be looking at fresh growth on the forest floor. Instead, the flames keep finding fresh fuel.
