It's surprising to me that the market is behaving so well today, given the approach the Fed is taking to the economic slowdown. The Fed's approach is basically to say anything necessary to maintain consumer confidence. The slowdown is just an inventory blip, and growth will resume soon. In fact, we might get a V-bottom recovery! And January might have been the bottom! The problem is, a lot of analysts have said that January wasn't as good as some of the numbers looked, because of massive discounting that was necessary to clear channels, and that February is looking a lot worse than January. I think consumer confidence is likely to suffer another hit this spring and summer when the already-announced layoffs slam workers. This economy needs liquidity more than happy talk. People just aren't going to be fooled into thinking all is well when they, or their neighbors, get sent to the unemployment lines. Story on Broaddus: biz.yahoo.com Story on McTeer: biz.yahoo.com
