Dull, Dull, Dull

I am surprised by today's low trading activity. But I do know that highs and lows are usually associated with high activity, not with dullness. So I think we are in a consolidation phase which will be resolved to the upside.

right, the old adage "never short a dull market". Which begs the question: Why did you sell your longs?

The problem is that the $50 B stimulus for transportation and expensing of all new capital equipment will be used to purchase goods mfg overseas and imported. No domestic job creation, just more debt. w/o jobs slow death. Now only 58% of the population is employed compared to 62% over the past 40 years. Even during the previous recessions % of population employed never dropped below 62%, Something is VERY wrong and different this time. Corp get stiumlus/tax credits and use the money to mfg goods overseas. It can't continue. Domestic content of all goods consumed in US must be mandated. Yes this will trade a trade war and lower equities. The current policy is insane. Debt means more we export more jobs. Thats the reason the market is in a trading range. Sorry for the rant.
