Apocalypse Watch. Not Yet.

As an adherent of Austrian Economics, I do believe that the current Governmental Intervention model cannot be good in the long run. QE ad nauseum is just a patch on an old tire. It won't hold for long.

That said, it is still no time to panic, in my opinion. The short term solutions should be sufficient for a continued uptrend for the next 6 to 12 months, assuming no major unexpected events.The following graphs do show a solid financial system with low stress levels. There is plenty of liquidity for now to adjust quickly if something moves too fast like it has happened with the death of the CHF:EUR peg or the collapse of oil. Any other time, these changes would not have been shrugged off.

The Leading Index also shows that there are no major headwinds ahead.

Things to watch out for.

1. Europe needs to deal with unemployment and Greece one way or another. Otherwise the Euro will continue down and disappear. Lets see what happens in the next 6 months.
2. Oil markets should rebalance so the consolidation in the Shale plays finally happen and the specter of a junk bond crisis is finally put to bed.
3. Geopolitics needs to be dealt with for overall stability.
