Thanks for the reply, Slider. I've only a second before I log off but wanted to add this to the equation. * Personal Income rose 0.3% in July, even with the Thomson IFR consensus estimate and slightly below the previous month's 0.4% rise. Personal consumption surged 0.6%, after gaining 0.4% in June. The Thomson IFR consensus forecast predicted a 0.5% gain. The spending rate dropped to negative 0.2%, the first time in the last 5 months the rate was in negative territory.

Slider: Thanks for that thoughtful post. I agree that the banking/credit system has been stretched to the breaking point. Look at the default rate in junk: High as a kite and rising. Energy stocks will outperform up untill the point where the economy actually sinks into recession (at least 2 quarters away, IMO).
