The following is our opinion of near-term market and economic conditions.

WINTER 2012

GLOBAL INVESTMENTS
Stocks recently moved higher breaking through the 2011 trading range.  The overall technical structure of the market has turned somewhat bullish but the current rally lacks volume.  U.S. stocks currently lead global markets. 

WORLD ECONOMY
The Data coming out on the global economy still poses serious challenges.   The debt crisis in Europe could eventually pose liquidity challenges for banks.  Unemployment in the U.S. remains elevated but appears to be improving somewhat.

INFLATION DATA
We believe broad inflation will remain stable for goods and services measured by the Consumer Price Index.  There are risks of elevated prices in select categories like education, healthcare and energy.  Despite current U.S. monetary policy, inflation is likely to be held in check until National Income and Capacity Utilization have increased.  As developed country economies continue to reduce debt levels, deflation in stocks, real estate and commodities may continue.

U.S. RESIDENTIAL HOUSING
It appears housing may be stabilizing in some markets but prices are not expected to start recovering any time soon.
