El-Erian talks the illusion of liquidity. Is that not of the same issues as addressed by the Cheshire multiple?- Context: market liquidity, efficient-market hypothesis, and a lot more.

The plot will thicken as we go along.
02/18/2015 -- The term "Cheshire multiple" was coined by Marilyn vos Savant during the last downturn (time frame was 2009).
03/05/2015 -- Cuban talking lack of liquidity (2000 like). See Remarks 03/05/2015.
03/09/2015 -- Cuban also brings in another dimension related to web/cloud efforts at funding. This, of course, can take money away from the traditional markets which have evolved to be giant siphons of value (we'll get back to this). Actually, a luddite recoil from computation ought not be considered as the theme here; on the contrary, the view is the epitome of human/computing interchanges (spiritually found, at the basis - hence, no room for the greedy mindset that looks to exploit things in their favor - which type of behavior was nicely exhibited (is now manifested) by the Lords of the earth - many of whom are the best and brightest). Earlier, FB was said to be a metaphor (did not go into how it is so), but that conceptual framework is being applied here (to be explained, where necessary -- actually, the God-give intuition ought to (will) come to fore if it were to be given a chance -- G*d, of course, as other than delusion, ...).
03/10/2015 -- Today is a slump day (1% as of noon) which does not mean much, as each lower sale brings down the total level. On the upswing, it looks like magic to have "value" appear out of nowhere. On the downturn, it's like a bug being squashed under a car tire. Yesterday was a seeding day. These have been more prevalent than the other for the past few years with the FED supporting the manipulation, albeit indirectly, albeit through various means. Ever notice how the seeding takes longer to recoup from a loss? You see, real money is put in to create the lure (trolling the waters) so that the suckers fall into the trap and bring in their money. Then, as each little bit comes in, the whole thing rises (as, if only nature worked that way - fortunately, it does not, otherwise life would not be sustainable) due to the magical multiple. ---- Now, the question is: do we have a better way?
03/15/2015 -- Finally, getting around to the pending business.
