The brightest light I've seen so far it that my brother called and said HP gave him a contract for building maintenance in their Denver offices.

He always says when things begin to turn, maintenance gets revved.....

I said, maybe they're getting ready to sell the building...

Ok....so I've on the Grassy Knoll....

That's the reason I've not held a stock for more than 3 days since spring of 2000.

What has held this economy in check has been the American consumer. As long as long term interest rates remain low and home equity values remain steady, the worst is probably over for the US economy. But this doesn't necessarily translate into a robust growth of 3 to 4 percent for the US economy in the next six months. Heck, there could be anemic economic growth for another 18 months in my humble opinion.

So keep a close eye on real estate prices. If, or when, housing prices take a fall is when this economy will be in real trouble.
