Short notes on markets As I've always said, a trade deficit is a sure sign of prosperity. Any doubts about the properity of China should be put to rest today as they are showing a trade deficit, which only means that their citizens have money and are spending it. All this screaming about trade deficits from the Liberal Media Elite is just bullshit designed to make Bush look bad.

Second: this week about 300 companies report profits. This is IN THE MARKET. A suprise will be to the downside. Gold and silver are flying because of Iraq.
