@ISM, construction -- trotsky, 11:23:06 12/01/06 Fri a horrorshow. ISM shows manufacturing in contraction, October construction in steepest decline since the official 2001 recession period. what's the Dow doing at 12K? i know, i'm the one that keeps telling you that fundamentals aren't as important as widely believed, but there is a clear historical record regarding stock market performance during recessions. the usual sequence of events has the market declining first, and the recession arriving thereafter - then the market keeps going down during the recession, but it generally bottoms before the recession actually ends. what is happening here is extremely unusual - but, as mentioned yesterday, not completely unprecedented.
