One Man's folly - The Great Greenspan Depression of the Millennium, the worst financial devastation in the history of the USA

While the stock market is up sharply since early March - drop a stone from the Empire State Building's top floor and it will bounce as well - the economy as well as corporate earnings continue to suffer. This chart provides some perspective as to the magnitude of the current economic decline.

The chart (Courtesy of http://www.chartoftheday.com) illustrates how S&P 500 12-month, earnings have declined over 90% over the past 20 months making this by far the largest decline on record (the data goes back to 1936). In fact, real earnings have dropped to a record low and if current estimates hold, Q3 2009 will see the first 12-month period in history during which S&P 500 earnings are negative.

Greenspan has accomplished what no enemy of our country ever did.
