He argues there is no outside factors that will sustain that sentiment, pointing to a series of economic numbers including unemployment, the deficit, and the jump in healthcare costs. (Just today, the Wall Street Journal reports, “Stocks tapped the brakes on their recent rally, as data pointed toward weakening in global economies. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell nine points, or 0.1%, to 13569, in midday trading on Thursday. The blue chips have climbed 4% over the past two weeks, as the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan have announced stimulus measures.”)
