Quote from independenceair:
Rates are expected to rise , so that would likely be partly priced in, oil hasn't decreased as much as some say it should've,housing is slowing somewhat- the market still goes up.
On the flip side there a lot of mergers and buyouts, I.P.O s - that sort of activity is causing at least some positive market moves.
Autos aren't doing as good recently and are planning job cuts but AT&T has grown and are also planning 10 000 job cuts- grow or shrink i think good paying jobs will be tougher to find.
Personally I think manufacturing will have supplied the market pretty soon- I think the number for consumer debt is at 2.18 trillion-
a little bearish here temporarily, but every house has its troubles now and then
