As usual, I don't place too much emphasis
on this sort of forecast, but to the extent that I make any comments
at all about the outlook for 2006, the
bottom line is this: 1) we can't rule out modest potential for stock appreciation, which would require the maintenance or expansion of already high price / peak earnings multiples; 2) we also should recognize an uncomfortably large potential for market losses, particularly given that the current bull market has now outlived the median and average bull, yet
at higher valuations
than most bulls have achieved, a flat yield curve with rising interest rate pressures, an extended period of internal divergence as measured by breadth and other market action, and complacency
at best and excessive bullishness
at worst, as measured by various sentiment indicators; 3) there is a moderate but still not compelling risk of an oncoming recession, which would become more of a factor if we observe a substantial widening of credit spreads and weakness in the ISM Purchasing Managers Index in the months ahead, and; 4) there remains substantial potential for U.S. dollar weakness coupled with «unexpectedly» persistent inflation pressures, particularly if we do observe economic weakness.

 The Harper government's decision last year to write off every penny of the auto aid and thus build it all into last year's deficit calculation (which I questioned
at the time as curious and even misleading) has already been proven wrong. Since the money was already «written off» by Ottawa as a loss (
on grounds that they had little confidence it would be repaid — contradicting their own assurances
at the same time that it was an «investment,» not a bail - out), any repayment will come as a gain that can be recorded in the budget
on the revenue side. Jim Flaherty has learned from past Finance Ministers (especially Paul Martin) that it's always politically better to make the budget situation look worse
than it is (even when the
bottom has fallen out of the balance), thus positioning yourself to triumphantly announce «surprising good news» (due, no doubt, to «careful fiscal management») down the road. The auto package could thus generate as much as $ 10 billion in «surprising good news» for Ottawa in the years to come (depending
on the ultimate worth of the public equity share).

at bottom look upon God as one of the most selfish, self - absorbed Beings in the universe, far more selfish
