I'm not sure how the economic picture is going to play out. I don't think it will be good though, especially with stories like the following.

New Recipe for Cost Savings:
Replace Highly Paid Workers
online.wsj.com

Two words, sneaky deflation. (Sneaky because as many jobs were created as laid off, net job loss = 0 so they don't effect employment #'s but now only half the pay rate)

I think the Home builders are becoming way over valued. I just don't know if they are good shorts yet. Maybe by August and the following will be a good time to short them.

I somewhat take astrologic cycles into my trading from time to time, and I have a question to all here what the following may mean for the markets>
Coming this 27 August, Earth & Mars will reach opposition, the closest in their orbits around the Sun, and what makes this a bit more spectacular, this is the closest approach in 60,000 years...

Ideas on what this may cause?

Jim, my point is, I guess, is that job losses are job losses, for whatever reasons.
We had a talk on the Rat thread about the massive insider selling in MSFT, DELL & the rest recently, and my take on that is the same, for whatever reason, insider selling is selling...


William:

I wonder why the media hasn't jumped on the MSFT insider selling one week before they lost a big contract in Germany... Sounds a little like Imclone without the paintings...
