Market & Economic Brief

March 4th, 2010

GLOBAL STOCKS
Stocks are making a recovery attempt from the pullback that developed in the middle of January but remain vulnerable, in our opinion.  We will not be surprised if stocks reach new highs in the current rally but have become more alert for another, potentially more significant, correction. 

WORLD ECONOMY
Leading economic indicators by ECRI are starting to point to a slowdown in the U.S. economy toward the middle of the year.  Debt issues in Europe, the Middle East, and some U.S. states continue to pose potential problems.

INFLATION DATA
Inflation generally appears to be contained and continued deflation concerns appear to be off the table for the time being.

U.S. RESIDENTIAL HOUSING
The housing market has stabilized but weakness has started to reappear in parts of the market.

PLANNING
New conversion rules for ROTH IRA's in 2010 may present a unique planning opportunity.
