A. The economy and the stock market don't
necessarily travel in lock step . . .
though there ARE some general rules; one
of which is the stock market looks out
towards the future . . . though there
are also other considerations, such as
technical corrections or occaisional
herd instincts in play.



The only ONE issue that the current
environment should be able to agree on
is the global economy escaped sliding
and falling into the 'abyss'. The
questions you present is an honorable
effort to determine where we truly may
be 'today' and where are we likely be
heading do to 'whatever'.



May I suggest to determine who
knowledgeable leading economists are as
well as the proven indidividuals who
have proven themselves over the past
decades and insights presented from
sharing financial sources . . . They are
all out there and it is worth building
up a stable of sources worth following
which enables one to perform 'due
diligence'.



Otherwise, the daily headlines alone do
an injustice in providing one a true
course of rectitude since there is more
chaffe than value being presented . . .
and with any value presentation, it
needs to be incorporated into the bigger
picture.
