    Well lets see.

    More people than expected filed for unemployment last month
    Long term interest rates are up
    TBond yields are up
    Home sales drop
    Detroit file for Bankruptcy
    Just a few of the good news stories from a few days ago.

    Strange the day after Ben threatens to taper, the U.S.Markets jump 130 points on supposedly good news from of all places the EU. I guess any rise in any economic news from the EU could be seen a positive because its coming from such a depressed economy. Australia is looking no better now with the FED putting a levy on bank deposits for any bailout, you know who will pay this levy, well it wont be the banks that have made near record profits.
