THE CREDIT CRISIS: THE BUBBLING BOND MARKET RICK TOBIN The American economy needs to strengthen more without magical and mythical “bailout” programs badly as some economists perceive. Yet, stock, bond, and real estate prices continue to improve fairly consistently in 2013 in spite of a sluggish job market and economy. One of the main questions to ask ourselves related to this same “QE and Asset Prices” topic may be as follows: “How long will the boom in asset prices continue to last?” Only time will tell. Since my “Crystal Ball” continues to be in the shop, I will not even venture to guess the answer partly since there is no historical time precedent to compare with here in the USA, as we have never relied so heavily on these glorified forms of “bailouts” to better stimulate our financial markets.
