@Fundamental - see my 'dead in the water' post.

Diligent reporting on CML & MTA.. deserves applaud.

SAB again tanking today. On LSE the vertical axis of their chart is being regularly extended downwards to accommodate

Orders for U.S. Durable Goods Unexpectedly Slump

Bookings (DGNOCHNG) for goods meant to last at least three years dropped 4.3 percent after a 2.6 percent gain in November that was smaller than previously reported, a Commerce Department report showed today in Washington. The median estimate of 82 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a 1.8 percent advance. Orders for non-military capital goods excluding aircraft also declined.

Today’s report is the first to indicate that the slowdown in growth last month went beyond the unusually cold temperatures. Stagnant wages and inconsistent job gains probably mean consumer spending, which accounts for almost 70 percent of the economy, will not be able to sustain recent gains.
