Two One-Way Lanes on the Road to Ruin (Hussman)

``It is important to recognize that the S&P 500 is presently only about 13% below its April peak, and the word "only" deserves emphasis. Our valuation impressions align fairly well with those of Jeremy Grantham at GMO, who puts fair value for the S&P 500 "no higher than 950" - a level that we would still associate with prospective 10-year total returns of only about 8% annually. I would consider investors to be very fortunate if the market does not substantially breach that level in the coming 12-18 months.'' -- This piece also contains a great rant against the Fed's QE, and a lengthy discussion of the need for creative destruction in the financial economy.
