Through the Looking Glass, Smoke and Mirrors: Nice! If I would have known you were going to publish it, I would have done the mid month selection. Thanks for the kind words. Both of the following charts are based on the week falling closest to the 15th of the month.

So, does anybody have any clue why the retailers are on fire here? stockcharts.com They've had one incredible month. Is this just the hedgefund play-du-jour? Is retail really exploding, or is it just the least of evils at work here? I keep saying, this is going to be a consumer-led recession - well, if this is any indication of the consumer's health, it would seem to be that I'm a little early on connecting the real estate bubble to a looming downturn in consumer purchasing power.
