More Soggy Economic Data But Stocks Dont Care

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 17:14:03 GMT

Having briefly scanned the dataflow Friday before checking out the price action, your writer had thought he may be confronted with somewhat softer markets. Wrong. Rather, a combination of slightly weaker than expected GDP growth in Europe and a wider trade deficit and decline in consumer confidence in the US seems to have been trumped by a decent earnings report from Walt Disney and upped Christmas guidance from JC Penney.

Online sales still bright for retailers Volume so good in otherwise down year, sites pushed to limit

Sat, 05 Dec 2009 18:52:00 GMT
