Unwrapped,
It was in http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=18&t=20100 where you claimed consumer confidence, existing homes sales and consumer spending, were the marks of a strong economy. SignyM pressed pretty hard for a definitive list from you that you would stick with. After a long, long time you shifted ground citing consumer confidence (again) 'the rate of growth' and the unemployment. When SignyM asked you about your new criteria, you bobbed and weaved, shifted the discussion to how much money (a few) people made during the Great Depression, China's and India's strong economies, threw some kind of slur on Europe, and well, completely abandoned the topic. That was your last point on the issue, on April 29. Only to post a WHOLE NEW THREAD ON THE SAME TOPIC (this one) just two days later.
In this one you shift ground yet agin to the stock markets.
So consumer confidence falls, the market falls, existing home sales fall, and you ... refuse to address the very items you launched.
Why is that?

I didn't find any recent unemployment figures.
Let me ask you a question you might be able to answer:
Out of all possible economic indicators,
which current factors indicate a robust US economy?

Well, I'm still waiting for that point-by-point. (Hmmm, I think I said this five or six times by now.) Auraptor? Just let me know what you want to start with.

Give it a couple of days for this thread to fall off the bottom first.
Wanna play bumper cars and keep putting it up at the top?
