re: You need to be paying attention to the what the Purchasing Managers are saying. Last month, the NAPM index was at 51.4. A year ago, it was at 62.8. Watch the yield curve... right now it's indicating at least a slow down in the next year. If it becomes inverted, watch out. Yes, that too. What I don't understand is why the increasing price of oil has not been reflected in the inflation reports. You would think the price increase would push up inflation but it hasn't to date. And oil prices have more than doubled in the past two years. Someone is eating that price increase. ted
