[*]Core inflationreading: 5.4% yoyin May. Hmm. Wonder if the experts will read this tomorrow.
This wouldmean neutral would be around 5% fed funds rate:shock::shock::shock:.
If the number was so "great" and everything dropped so far why is inflation running so hot????
Fed funds 3% and inflation at 5.4% that is a pretty good spread.
Trip Witch week everyone is so short, everyone is afraid of a short squeeze, hence the volume. Volume was horrible. Wonder why we get these numbers on Trip Witch weeks now???

I believe I read the month of May was the highest overall crude average crude price EVER for one month and the PPI reflects that crude fell double digits.
What planet do they think we are with the hedious accounting and we buy it?
And then the fools on CNBS are jumping on each other how great things are??
Core inflation for May yoy 5.4%. Fed rate 3%. That is quite the spread for contained inflation.
Itrust the trade balance data more then this BLS massaged by a GS 9 data and served hot for the idiots to consume data .

According to the trade balance report crude is up 28.6% in the last four months. Food was up 8.2% yoy.
Day prior Greenie says inflation is contained.
He is not a political hack? Since he does not buy his food or fill up his tank he would not see this.
Reminds me of Bush I and the scanner at the supermarket.

Adjusted for inflation numbers?
Show me one day 20 years ago where crude was over $50.
Funny the adjusted for inflation numbers on crude comparedto the inflationnumbers BLS gives us for PPI/CPI dataare lower.
They must give great feet rubs.

Wonder how many times will the 10 year can go up 1% and stocks go up.
Question if the PPI was so great why did yields go up and not down?
Yields going up reflect inflation. PPI "would" reflect inflation is contained :?and yields "should" of went down.
Smart money - bond market. Dumb money stocks.
Which is why Magoo can not massage the bond market anymore. But as we saw last week the stock market can be stroked and petted to move. :?
What scares me is the "economy is on firm footing" verbage he stated last week in testimony. We heard that March 2000.
Kudlow must me doing spring ups today :x. Economic chameleon.
Low volume bounce. Should be interesting tomorrow.

Plenty of Bulls around, most are just grazing in this trading range! But the running of the Bulls will start again. Mike pointed out it could take months.... Staying cautious for now........... We could see the break up/down very soon.

DMA,
There may be some head fakes going on in the market to keep one off guard. Sometimes you just have to pull back for a fresh look - hard to see the massive forest if you are standing in the middle of one surrounded by tall trees. Remember a strong dollar is anti-inflationary - perhaps the CPI and core PCE will moderate for the present time. If you have serious doubts - continue present strategy until next month. Sooner or later someone will be correct about all the different directions and head fakes. The oceanliner is taking on dividend supplies all summer - adding to positions just in case the move doesn't come until fall again. Getting paid while I wait. Oh, do you know you are getting a tax cut in 2006 -that's right. If you don't need it you can be a good citizen and donate to the old bulls retirement home.

The Administrative started with the adjusted for inflation verbage with crude.
You bought it.
What else do we adjust for inflation?
Why is the inflation number they use to adjust for crude lower then they use to calculate PPI/CPI?
The double digit decrease in the crude PPI numbers today should like smack you in the face that something is not kosher here. Did your price at the pump go down double digits??? Did you energy bill go down double digits?
But you bought it.
I deal with reality not what someone wants me to believe. But to each there own.
Good luck.

You area had roughly a 3.9% decress for the month of May. Aprils number were released in May. June we are talking May data.
Are you overstating your numbers? To make things look good?
Gas in your area was over 2.20 for a couple days ( you must of filled up at a bad time, perhaps) and never reached 2.30.
Do you work for BLS? Change gas stations? Or do not realize the data is on your state gov web site?

Wow, DMA - you'd really have me over a barrel with that post, except you are incorrectly assuming that I filled up my tank in MN during that entire month.
I paid ~$2.30 per gallon in Indiana and Ohio when I went on a trip.
Gas prices were definitely cheaper in May than April. The chart proves as much.
I suggest you take greater care in attempting to assail my credibility in the future.
