| US Equity Market By John Schroy, on March 24th, 2006 |  Comments are closed March 24th, 2006 | Print Article |  Email Article |  Topics: closed end funds | Category: US Equities | Comments are closed |  Short urlJanuary 2006 By John Schroy, on March 23rd, 2006 | Comments are closed  The excess of imports over exports means that cash is flowing into the US capital market from abroad, which should continue to prop up long bond prices. The January trade deficit, annualized, represents a 13% increase over the trade deficit of 2005. Since the trade deficit increased 18.3% in 2004 and 15.1% in 2005, the current rate of increase seems to indicate slower growth in the trade imbalance.

Without doubt, such sudden ‘rational behavior’ would crash the stock market.
