I think the FED overdid the rate cuts and because of that many trendlines are going to be broken. The free money is getting harder to find. Good read on the bubble>http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A58600-2005Mar22.html Some years back, before the massive dump from record highs in the 3 main indexes, (the blow off bubble top) I figured that when the Beanie Baby market went south, the stock market would follow. I know this sounds kinda silly, but this is exactly what happened.

They like the report, looks just so-so to me> Payroll Growth Sluggish, Just 110,000 Jobs Added; Unemployment Rate Drops to 5.2 Percent WASHINGTON (AP) -- Payroll growth across the country was sluggish in March as employers added just 110,000 jobs, the smallest increase since July. Nevertheless, the labor market accommodated enough people to drop the unemployment rate to 5.2 percent. The new figures, released by the Labor Department Friday, offered another mixed picture of America's hiring climate. The job market has been the sector of the economy that has been among the slowest to recover from the last recession. Payroll growth, as measured by a survey of businesses, slowed in March. Job losses at factories and in the retail sector tempered gains in professional and business services, construction, education and health services and in other industries. The 110,000 jobs added in March marked the smallest gain since last July, when payrolls grew by a tepid 83,000. March's payroll gain was half of the roughly 220,000 jobs that economists had forecast before the report was released. Job gains for February, meanwhile, were revised slightly downward to 243,000 from the initial 262,000 reported a month ago. The civilian U.S. unemployment rate is calculated from a separate statistical survey than the payroll figures. The two statistical methods often can -- and do -- offer seemingly conflicting pictures of what is happening in the labor market.
