How could anyone expect anything else? It's all been a cover-up and papered over. Now....everything is worse, because they piled on even more debt on top of the debt bubble. How many more people did they suck into debt over the last year buying houses and cars? Maybe they want even more squatters, LOL. It's going to be March 2009 and worse, IMHO. How can anyone have confidence in lunatics? How can anyone not expect anything but a lunatic type outcome? Sure, we can bounce like yesterday, the action was indicative of a bear market rally, IMO. Bear market sell signals are popping up everywhere. The bailout bubble is bursting. All bubbles end badly.

Hi all, ERCI's Weekly Leading Index Growth Rate just went below zero to -3.5%. The growth rate has been trending downwards since Oct'09, but really started tanking fast after Mar'10. This is the first time the growth rate has gone negative since Jun'09. Remember, most economists say the recession ended in Jun'09. So if this growth rate stays negative, or even worse, continues to trend downwards, then a double dip becomes certain. That would almost guarantee the S&P would retrace to 971, as I called a week or so ago.
