<You misunderstood what I was saying. It didn't matter to the market two years ago and you think it matters now. Prices in stocks persisted in spite of all those things and now you site them as reasons that the market can't go up. If they didn't matter then WHY do they matter now? You didn't answer that question. >

Grace, to be fair, this really is a lame point... there are all sorts of phenomena that persist despite their certainty of demise.. in the physical world let alone a world that includes subjectivity.

Actually IMO it is a waste of time in a life that is already too short to go beating the bushes for signs that economic laws proven over the centuries won't persist. This is especially true given observations by many market historians that all important changes in major market directions [equities, etc] are chronicled in the main street media. Here are the facts:

1.)Economists have been surprised for years that this expansion has lasted so long.

2.)The expansion is now recognized even by CNBS as having reached "bubble" proportions... [Despite BGR's assertion, LOL].

3.)The bubble has burst as being painfully chronicled daily in the telecom equity and junk markets...

4.)Bubbles never just go away... there is a painful contraction of proportions bigger than 'normal' recessions.

So why would anyone even consider looking for bullish signs untill we see the inevitable obvious recession events chronicled... ??
