For years they sought the blessing of Keynesianism, only now to find it comes with a price. Keynes introduced the notion of government debt as salvation, the road to prosperity. Issue debt, and you will prosper. With those words, citizens of many nations turned their minds and ears off to reason. How could so many come to believe that borrowing money was the secret to prosperity?

It'll be a drag on growth for at least a year. Sales are finally starting to tick upward. After sliding for six straight quarters, the value of deals made rose in the last half of 2009, buoyed by investors seeking bargains on top-tier malls, office and apartment buildings.But that's just a first step in a long slog.

The morning after that report was released the Dow was at 10,383. The market closed today 22 points higher at 10,405. Over the past week the market realized a good amount of negativity before recovering to todays levels. Not exactly the strength data indicated. The limited market strength (and negativity throughout the week) moved the investor confidence reading 10.9% lower to 32.6%. This reading continues the hi-lo pattern and may be indicative of investor uncertainty. But the decent move lower now indicates a potential for market weakness moving forward.

It is true that this is a divergence, since the price high was higher and the Summation Index high was lower, but the interpretive implications are not as dire as one might think. For long term comparisons, we like to use the Ratio Adjusted Summation Index (RASI). This version factors out the changes in the number of issues traded, so that amplitudes can be more fairly compared.

No clear picture of what's going on with jobs. The confusing Jan. figures...lower unemployment but the loss of 20,000 more jobs...were just the start. It's typical for an economy emerging from recession to zigzag, improving one month, backsliding the next. Plus payroll figures...from a survey of 400,000 firms that don't always respond in a timely manner... often overstate gains or losses, requiring big revisions.

However, as we look around the world, inflation exists only in isolated cases. Certainly in the U.S., inflation is non existent. At the same time, rather than collapsing into oblivion, the U.S. dollar has been in a rally.

Although Democratic leaders plan to divvy up the bill and pass it piecemeal, it's a good bet that all elements of the package will be enacted at some point this year.

Some more bottoming is needed before we go up meaningfully. Look for Feb. 19, again Feb. 26, and finally Mar. 3-5. That last one should be the bottom from which prices go up, just as everyone gives up on getting out of the choppiness. An additional bottom due Mar. 30 should be important but at a higher level than the late February bottoming process. Gold is in a strong rebound, and has made a new all-time high when priced in euros. Any dollar weakness from here on will magnify gold's own inherent strength.
