Steeny,
Good post. What's interesting to me is...big ticket items like houses and automobiles generally sell at their highest levels when people feel their net worth is at a high. (real or imagined). That generally occurs when the stock market is taking off. The same thing happened last year. Also, those stats lag what growth is since the recent uptick in bond yields.
What I find curious is that...interest rates are already up around .8 from 5 %... or the equivalent of 3.2 1/4 point raises by the FED if they had raised at that level. Somehow I don't see the Fed raising even more now that the market is spooked and the bond market has done much of the Fed's work for them. Don't forget also that Europe is still trying to stimulate growth not slow it. Thoughts?

Regards,
Tom
