    Default Finally Good Economic News

    You know this week its been nice to see that more positive news is coming out of the economy, They say consumer spending is starting to rise again, Good Shipped have started to increase for the second month, sales of new homes for a second month have risen, home prices are starting to stabilize, and now they say Auto Sales even though are WAY off from last year, they are saying may have hit rock bottom and starting a upward trend as well. March started to show all manfacturers sold more than expected with a slight increase, add that to the fed saying by the end of the year we may be out of this, Thats all a good sign.

    wont be fixed over night but it is good to see some of the worst may be over and some trends are showing things may start to slowly recover.

    They just want people to start investing in the market again, so they can pull some money off the top by selling what they bought 2 weeks ago.

    All of this is good news but I immediately get to thinking about what many analysts said after the first bailout. It would lead to a short term stabilization and gain, but eventually lead us even further down because of inflation or deflation (I dont remember which it was).

    Can't say that I agree with the concepts being used but it is a hell of an incentive.
