I don't think anything has changed. The economy wasn't "falling apart" 4-5 weeks, ago ... and it isn't booming now.

The economy is slowly sliding ... some numbers may make the economy look worse than it is - some make it look better ... but the slow slide is continuing.

'In a bubble economy, it is asset prices that determine economic conditions, not the other way around.'

And perhaps corporate profits, interest rates and easy credit can sustain the bubble economy? We do have a major housing bust underway in much of the country and unemployment still remains low.
