			<description>This week unemployment will be announced and I am expecting some pretty bad numbers.  As long as unemployment continues to struggle, so will consumer income, and farther down goes GDP.  We'll see this Friday.</description>

			<description>It was obvious that investors weighted today's sentiment report much higher than the Case-Shiller Index results.  As for me, I believe the Case-Shiller data is much more telling than a survey from 5000 households.  However, I don't represent all of the investors.</description>

			<description>After hours are soaring right now for financials, all because of the release of bank stress tests... ridiculous.  I believe, just as high these banks go, they must come down.</description>

			<title>GDP tommorow</title>
			<link>http://www.forum.crashmarketstocks.com/the-macro-f5/gdp-tommorow-t6.htm</link>
			<dc:creator>slg</dc:creator>
			<description><![CDATA[After a number of optimistic economic reports, from home sales to consumer confidence, people may be hoping this GDP number tommorow to be better than expected. Do we expect the number to be worse than what analysts expect? If we do, this will be the evidence of deflationary spiral we have been fearing/expecting. But if the converse happens, people are seriously going to think the bottom has occured, and buying volume could be back.

			<description>Although they dont plan on &quot;publicly&quot; announcing bank stress results until May, banks are being briefed tomorrow.  I think there is a big potential for some media slippage in results, which could cause for some big gains for financials.  Thoughts?</description>
