I'm a huge Frank Zappa fan, and the title of this post is a direct quote from him. The reason for the quote is simple. Financials rose a little over 2% today.
The reason is "bottom fishing". I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who are thinking "I got a great bargain today."
Of course, there's a reason why financials are cheap right now. And it's not a good reason.

Your charts and summaries are great, and I think you have your head on straight. I check often, almost never comment, but thanks sincerely.
Watch what's going to happen to the China markets with a P/E of their index at about 50! Where there is trouble, there's money.
My tax practice is centered around captive insurance. I'm the author of the book U.S. Captive Insurance Law (which is also available on Kindle), the leading book in the field. You can learn more about captive insurance at my website.

The Bonddad Economic History Project
At the beginning of 2012, I decided to start looking at the actual, statistical history of the US economy starting in 1950. The reason is simple: to find out what really happened. So, when you see title of a post that begins with a year such as 1957, followed by "employment" or "Fed policy: you know what it's for. You can also access the information by typing in BE for Bonddad econ and a year to find information on a particular year.
Here is a link to pages that contain links to all the posts on the years listed.
