We recently came across this caption and it really made us think of the current economic climate and the outcome of investments in complex financial products, especially derivatives… a word for some of the investment banks???

Ok, so the markets got what they wanted but what now?
Let’s remember that despite valuations still being at relatively acceptable levels:
- US car sales are expected to have fallen in October
- Housing market and foreclosures are still hurting the economy
- Oil is at an all time high
- Gold is at an all time high
- Dollar weakness continues
- Asia markets continue growing
- Full exposure to sub prime still hasn’t been assessed
Today will be another very interesting day in light of all the economic data that will be released:
- Personal Income
- Personal Spending
- Core PCE Inflation
- Initial Claims
- ISM Index
- Pending Home Sales
- Auto Sales
- Truck Sales
It will be very interesting to see what comes out.
