The Dow was up 274 points. Gold went up very slightly and still closed below $1,200. What gives? A big change in direction? Itâ€™s probably nothing.

After having rallied for 15 of the previous 18 sessions, we were beginning to wonder if it were still possible… In an interesting turn of events, investors actually succumbed to the harsh economic realities of the day.

Core inflation was barely positive. That is not just a US trend. In Europe, price increases have fallen to the lowest level in 11 years. Japan is experiencing the biggest price drops in many years. This sounds like a D-word to us…disinflation, almost deflation.

The former decade, Chris explained, was captured in essence by F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby.

Unemployment claims just came in higher than expected. And new house sales in January were at their lowest ever. Pundits were quick to blame the snow. But sales were off even in areas that had better-than-usual weather. Household income has gone nowhere in 10 years. Stocks have suffered a lost decade too.
