Christmas spending up 3.6%

And with the deflationistas saying we have a 5% deflation rate, wouldn't that make sales up 8.6%--according to "their math?"

Just another prediction made by the bears found wanting!

But speaking of predictions, Doug Kass is out with his, warning again that a geopolitical event will cause the market to go down.

I guess that what you say when you can't find an economic reason,and you're in the double dip camp.

Oh that's right--Dougie says stocks will drop 10% in the first half.

They can. Once we get to 1440 first!
