I don't know about the politics, since politician have a differnt agenda. But when politic and economy entangled together, like they did in the aftermath of Leahman bankrupcy in Sep 2008, that is not a good sign. So, if the next bail out bill passed in the congress, it is time to go short the market. :-)

thank you so much for the info! I would say that the status of those current bills on the Congress floor would be a good indicator for downfall to begin, do you agree?

As said in the article, it is hard to predict when the risky/reflation trade will be over. There is a saying, "picking a market top or bottom is an exercise of futility." But the scary thing is I don't remember a time in recent history where so many risky asset’s fate are tied to single currency's move. Not even middle of 2008 come close, when only oil and other commodities were making new high, while stock is already into the correction for over half year (since Oct 2007). If we take a look at separate risky asset's recent price move, there is already some crack showings:
1) gold is making all-time high
2) oil is consolidating after the low 80s recovery high.
3) stock just made recovery high in DOW and SP500, but NDX has not made recovery high.
This is non-confirmation in technical term. If the non-confirmation persist, all the risky asset's prices will be resolved to the downside,
Seasonally, stock is in the benign Nov-Dec period. So, it might take some time for it to roll over. My hunch is when the calendar turn (to 1/1/2010), so is the price of stock. I remembered when 1/1/2008 rolled in, stock made a quick dive in the first calendar week.
