8/15 newsletter

The market is undergoing a small correction at 52-week high level. Oil price made a push to $65, another record high. Greenspan raised interest rate to 3.5% and hinted the raise will not stop until year-end, at which time rate will be more than 4%.

It is a very strange economic cycle that stock, oil, real estate, bond price, short term rate are all at historical high. I don't believe anybody can decipher the meaning and implication of this combination until years later...
