Hello Terry,

interesting question.  talking heads have special training that makes
them choose the most obvious circumstances and relate those to markets
and economies.

if the consumer is 2/3's of the economy, then it seems the issue might
be how Iraq affects the ordinary Joe's buying behavior.  last time I
checked consumer credit was still very high and Martin Zwieg's
research says bull markets begin when credit is at low's.  so if the
consumer starts doing more buying on credit, watch out.  if its with
cash, I'll eat my hat.  so my vote is for more bear market and
recession (or whatever this is) to continue.  the only growth industry
is government.


Best regards,
 Jim Johnson                           mailto:jejohn@xxxxxxxxxxx
