<<The economy is too strong for a recession right now... The technology sector now dominates our economy... >>

What the writer misses entirely is that much of the robust growth is built on hot air. You have the robust margin debt growth in the financial markets. You have robust consumer and business debt in the private sector. You have robust growth in government spending, especially when taking into account that much of that growth of 8.4% in discretionary spending is hidden in off-budget emergency appropriations. And finally, you have the not so robust 0% Japanese interest rate and the too robust inflow of consumer goods.

Very little of it is sound.

The Market...
****************
HG:

Ten yars ago technology represented about 10% of the S&P 500... Now it represents about 35%... To me, that's dominance when compared to any other sector... It's hard to think of any business that doesn't depend on technology... Ten years ago who even thought about the internet and all of its economic ramifications??? There's a new world coming, and it's coming fast...
