sandeep, interesting that you do not mind that the CPI, PPI and ECI are not calculated correctly and are misleading to such an extent that not even the country's central bank relays on it. There is time to sell and time to buy. Now it is about time this bubble to end. Haim

GDP is overstated due to their purposely overstating the contribution of computer hardware and in-house software development, hence, the immediate 1.5 point jump in revised GDP methodology last Fall and each subsequent report compared to last year.

I agree with you... but that said, I'm holding alot of cash and a few shorts. I would say its safe to assume this thread is about 80% bears regardless of what happens on the tape.. and if inflation friendly data is released, the numbers are 'fixed'.. conspiracy, TA confirmations of tops and breakdowns etc etc.. :) not agreeing/disagreeing with any of it obviously since I keep on lurking, but its worth pointing out. Hard not to get emotional when reading it.. sometimes I have to keep in mind where it all would have gotten me if I took it to heart over the last few.. My thoughts are we are in a bear market and have been for some time now.. Add a ton of new day trader dollars, fat 401ks and other funds, and you have the money all running into a select few stocks and pushing them to astronomic levels.. 9500..
