Matty, the real economy is in the tanks as well (such as consumer spending), so the markets are indeed reflecting the real economy. This recession is different then the one in 1987 or 1991, because at least then the real economy was OK. Now both are in incredible bad shape!

(sigh) Really not liking this market... Matty, you're right (IMO any way),it isn't as much an indicator of the National Economy (Remember 1987? No immediate impact Nationally), but is bad for NYC. I'm in a support role for a bank and Everyone is nervous about their jobs.

I am tired of the stock market being the arbiter of the health of the economy. We aren't any worse off than we were last week and I'll be damned if it has anything to do with stocks.

It would start getting better if they would stop selling everything at the first whiff of bad news. www.forgotten-ny.com

My advice: go long cash. Go long gold. Cash may be okay to use to buy up cheap assets, but I feel good about precious metals more and more as we head into 2009.

Profit takers took profits and the numbers aren't there to support last week's exuberence. Short term treatments aren't long term cures. My advice: go long cash.
