Economic and financial market outlook

Uncertain times in the US and global economy. Although the financial market's performance is wanting, suggesting a weak economy, a double dip isn't entirely ruled out either. The pessimism in the market is probably overdone too.

We, too, have had a more cautious-sounding tone in our market commentary, which is why we would like to take some time this week to discuss the alternative risk of a major move to the upside."
