onliest big concern I gots is from item#9 on EARNINGS with pockets of slowdown, I dont expect broad and strong earnings I expect most techs and other sector leaders to have strong earnings I expect the lesser players to show some struggles I doubt that RETAIL is the only area for poor earnings or topline growth Voltus, what do you make of such strong Utility Index ??? my take is that interest rates are to continue declining with crude oil costs and natural gas high, we have contradictory signals could utility firms be much more efficient with new monitoring or inventory methods??? I doubt it could investors be hiding in utilities as opposed to consumer goods??? probably with consumer firms so deeply expanding overseas, they have lost their appeal as safe havens they have become foreign economy proxies in recent years time for ice cream / jim
