I feel like everything is being papered over, that I'm being spun. I do NOT trust the Dow as an indicator of anything. Why is it more reliable now than when it was at 13000?</p><p>I try to look at other things and discount the Dow's movement unless I see a correlation to what I think is actual change. I know how fallible that approach is -- I just wish others would also admit their own fallibility.</p><p>C.</p>Constantine von HoffmanTue, 24 Mar 2009 11:35:54 -0000http://blownmortgage.com/2009/03/23/spike-in-existing-home-sales-mostly-fueled-by-foreclosures/#comment-7462068<p>The DOW was at 6500 13 days ago, when are you going to stop calling this a dead cat....</p><p>Enjoy your short squeeze, I will listen for screams that this isn't real</p>DDTue, 24 Mar 2009 01:59:36 -0000
