Perpetual motion
Article Abstract:
There is a debate as to whether US economic growth will slow, though rising demand for US exports from parts of the world undergoing an economic recovery will tend to offset any slowdown. US investors can borrow against equity, and this gives more volatility to the economy, with booms and busts exaggerated. US interest rates are rising, and skill will be needed if the US economy is to undergo a soft landing. Risng petroleum prices could lead to inflationary pressures. There is a need to be cautious about equities, and a rise in bond yields shows an awareness of this need.

US: bull's endgame
Article Abstract:
The US bull market starting from 1994 is likely to end with speculation in shares of smaller companies or large-cap growth stocks. Funds are under pressure to keep invested in shares and Jeffrey Vinik, who has resigned from Fidelity Funds, has illustrated that it is not easy to hold cash when share prices are rising. Most investors tend not to have cash at the peaks of markets. Salomon Brothers sees growth companies with a good track record as preferable to small firms.
