<<Our dollar is highly valued in world economy,>>

It is changing. Give it another few months.

<<our wage inflation was low>>

Because more and more companies pay their employees with stock options.

<<unemployment is stable and low>>

Too many people trading on-line and stop looking for a job.

<<275k new jobs added last month>>

They are low-paying service jobs. You should look at how many manufacturing jobs have been lost.

Bottom line is: this economy is credit-supported, and it will end with a bad bad ression, although I don't know when.

BTW, CNBS today reported that Jan. consumer credit was (? I forgot the figure) the highest since 1995 (month?).
