Eddy, do you think housing and jobs will remain strong? these are the only standing pillars now they are very large and very broad pillars though all else appears to be seriously threatened good metaphor on "boogeymen" for Houses the only true boogeymen are Fed Governors they have mismanaged beyond belief the sad paradox that I see is this: EVEN WITHOUT A FED TIGHTENING, SUMMER 2000 WOULDVE SEEN SLOWDOWN all by itself now a recession is 50-50, but a brief one if & when unemployment approaches 4.5%, then we will have it it is now 4.0%, up a tick from summertime those who dont understand the depth of problems are sure to continue to show surprise as events and deterioration unfold appreciate your deeper views / jim
