three major sectors of the economy: housing, autos, PC's today the government housing report came out housing starts were down 11.2% hosing permits were down 4.5% this indicates a lagged effect from tighter Fed rate policy aint seeing any slowdown with auto sector GM and Ford announced good growth some shift away from guzzling SportUselessVehicles though aint seeing it with PC's despite MSFT mouthpiece Sherlund citing slower sales its gogo days have seriously tapered off otherwise Intel wouldnt set sights on wireless chip arena now seeing just steady PC growth I hope Greenface can take the loouies out of his eyes, notice both the stock market wealth effect evaporate, and the important housing sector slowing down... I see no need to raise rates in May FOMC note on Futures Exchanges: the June FedFunds future contract now is indicating a 25 bp rate hike... it was a little higher on Friday... this contract is the best measure of likelihood of imminent rate hikes... I wouldnt be too surprised to see Greenspoon leaving rates alone, but indicating a probable hike in July my finger needs to be sprained / JW
