Climbing A Wall Of Ignorance
This market is not climbing a wall of worry, it’s climbing a wall of ignorance. Why worry about $10 billion in writedowns at UBS? Ignore it. Why worry about Columbia’s pseudo money market fund breaking the buck yesterday? Ignore it. Why worry about MBIA needing a billion to shore up its capital and avoid a downgrade to its credit rating? Ignore it. Forget about Freddie Mac preserving its capital by restricting its purchases of delinquent loans. Ignore it. Why worry about Washington Mutual ? Ignore it. Inflation, slowing GDP, slowing corporate profits, housing crisis, etc.? Ignore it. Do what you want, but just don’t tell me about this market climbing a wall of worry. This market started to climb two weeks ago when it stopped worrying and started ignoring.
