Jay, an artificial floor has been put under the falling body. It will hold there based on the perception create by a battery of news and statistics, that the bottom has been reached. This will persist until the presidential election. The information plus statistics fed to the market these days -and in the near future- is 2% of the picture. The rest, the remaining 98% of the pixels that compose the picture, is produced by the brains of the people that compose this market into which those news and statistics are fed. But the script, the real world, is playing on. Survey the landscape: Three books in France saying the country is in decadence. The conservatives are blocking the long overdue reform in Germany. Japan continues its slowly slide into non existence as a result of its population peak. I don't see much that have changed for the better. Yes consumers are buying. Can you imagine how much one person can buy with USD2K in the US a land where everything is cheap cheap?
