not on a soapbox, what a shallow metaphor just reporting some powerful statistics that make expectations of a nice speedy recovery in the US economy sound pieNsky they were presented in a very objective fashion take it easy with your characterizations the S&P and Naz are now betting heavily on a decent sustained recovery this summer that seems extremely unlikely to happen I give it 1 chance in 10 happening the leading proficient economists are now turning the tide the annually incompetent will be letting us know what happened AFTER it happens valuations depend NOW on a strong return of earnings Wall Street and our Patriotism has sold us a bill of stinky goods a recovery requires a source of spending consumers? businesses? foreigners? govt? you tell me where? I see you add nothing to the interpretation of situation no one comment on all that data? if data is overwhelming, then investment patterns yield to the underlying phenomenon this is not witchcraft or soapbox speechmaking this is tough as hell we are caught in a big ugly corner any insights you have to offer would be valued why not give it a try? instead of taking what you think is given to you good luck with your shorterm investing that is not investing, but rather gambling "take what is given", dont forget "give what is taken" if you have over 30-35% profitable trades, congrats how do you know what the market is giving you? how do you know you arent kneedeep in a trap now? how do you know whether a big airpocket is building? that is why we have brains -- to use them that is why people attempt to "read the situation" you should try it / jim
