Bobby: The positive outlook for "old economy" stocks applies internationally as well. Not having a major position in the old economy today and not wanting to pay up. I bought a large position in an international value fund at the close. It was down slightly today since foreign market were weak. But the US market usually leads the way, and foreign "old economy" stocks should catch up with a vengeance tomorrow. Wall Street seldom gives money away, but this kind of thing may be as close as it gets. When the US market makes a big move, you can be 95% certain that foreign markets will make a similar move shortly. It happened in tech and will happen in the old economy stocks as well.

bobby, i'd agree... Let's just speculate that PPI will be "surprisingly high." Who stands to benefit (relatively) from higher cost-of-money? Old economy stocks, with proven credit worthiness; or, highly-leveraged new economy stocks with speculative P/Es? My guess is that big money has a good hunch as to tomorrow's stats... if so, tech flyers are in for more trouble. Simplistically Yours, Alan ps. Along with other knowns, "old economy" stocks tend to have recognizable (er, repeatable) labor costs.
