...government purchases of treasuries have slowed, private investors have been stepping up to the plate and buying more dollar-based assets. Why? Because they see real value in U.S. stocks and bonds at current exchange rates. This might seem wrongheaded, because there are plenty of reasons to be bearish on the dollar (and on dollar assets like U.S. stocks). The massive U.S. current-account deficit, which consists of the trade deficit and other transfers, shows no signs of disappearing.

When he pads around the theater, talking about ghosts and ancestors, he makes you think of Telly Savalas playing Macbeth, or he would if Savalas had been somebody who could use a word like polysemous to explain those electronic chimneys.

...lately, compounded by competition from Japanese and Korean brands, another burst of high gasoline prices, the bankruptcy of its largest parts supplier, Delphi, in Troy, Mich., and perhaps most critically, a glut of SUVs and sedans. For all those reasons, Wall Street is discounting GM's chances of survival. Bearish analysts say there's a 40% chance the company will go bust in a couple of years. "The forces working on the auto industry--not just on GM--are gigantic," says Gerald Meyers, a former chairman of American Motors Corp. "GM's future is undoubtedly going...
