And the caveats were there for a reason: MSNBC reports an unsuccessful assissination attempt on Pakistani PM: msnbc.com You just never know... war between India and Pakistan? How about NUCLEAR war! Gives a new meaning to the term world population control. (PS I can't bring this link up after I posted it nor the original after going back to the MSNBC post.)

It is normal for the economic cycle to fluctuate in a healthy economy. There will be faster periods of growth followed by slower periods of growth during a time that is considered to have strong growth. It just seems that these fluctuations have become more apparent to the market observer for some reason. What amuses me is once the market reacts to a slowing economy that actually has been developing for some time, then a quarter later the market assumes that stronger growth is right around the corner even though the fundamentals do not change that quickly. This time it takes for the fundamentals to change is particularly true when we are talking not only about groups of companies, but groups of entire countries. After all, the news has been discounted by the market and it is only "up" from here, right? This illustrates the effect of market bias. I want to note here that the comment above is from observations of past events and does not necissarily reflect my opinion on current events. Bob Graham
