Bloomberg's New England index dropped about two and a quarter points today and the New England tech stock index was down a fraction of -- point. Yeah."

" The analysis tonight with Jim -- chief investment strategist and adviser investments. And editor of fidelity investors dot com Jim welcome that in -- Well it's never good to see the market -- without even a little bit but certainly investor -- investors have to be quite satisfied with this -- quarter rally."

" Growth has been the best rally since the Great Depression so any investors that had. Cashed out of the market and thought they'd laid back in when things got better may have missed literally the best move this market will give us for. I just over the last ten years but for the next ten years ahead of us so it has been. A remarkable rally born of unprecedented velocity. But I do think that. We are now bumping heads up against the ceiling we've been talking about unless and until we get earnings data which comes in a week and a half. But actually can confirm that we have turned toward the better not just from the wars could this have happened without the stimulus money. It certainly could have happened without the stimulus money but when you looked today's GDP report which basically showed a much swifter easing from the recessionary. First quarter of what you saw was -- I think the positive effects of the stimulus money into charges one. The cash for conquerors and to the incentives for first time homebuyers. In the mortgage market that said we also got that new mortgage application data again today which confirms that. There's a trend of negative trend building in the home market and that is one where buyers are basically. Getting tapped out we may have seen that the most similar effects from that stimulus. And so what Tim does data especially in the construction spending but really in the pending home sales yeah absolutely key if that comes in worse than expected. Those will be a market that basically take that his election so for the moment at least the housing market is kind of went treading water. It's treading water no doubt about it and I would say this economy is treading water. And I'd say from here on out the market treads water unless and until we can see fundamentally. Better data that suggests. We're on a growth track not just -- recovery track. And the job reports you know we don't have that that the complete one yet but there. It's still not happening fast enough -- know it's not and always on Tuesday is surprising dip in consumer confidence clearly triggered by. Concerns over the job market. Certainly is not going to be concerns than just dissipate anytime soon. Today's precursor of the DP report basically came in a long consensus estimates but. I was with hardly anything other than recessionary. Tomorrow good jobless claims report finally getting key jobs report if any of the if either of those -- worse than expected again this will be a market that we'll see some profit. In addition to the jobs report we're gonna have a lot to Shula tomorrow are it's an extraordinary day by any measure one of the busiest days of economic reporting to have a whole year. So we get things like income and -- Consumer Spending we we get as I said the construction spending and construction spending. Housing did absolutely key we get the ISM a broad based manufacturing. Report which will be twice as he -- ever was just because of today's Chicago's. Purchasing managers index which was the thing that's -- the market today so tomorrow I'll look for this market to basically be trading around those reports are right through the end of the day."

" Good now thanks Jim Lowell with a market and RSS. Here is the chief investment strategist and adviser investments and editor of fidelity investor that comes into -- future."

“…First please join me in pondering. The inscrutable ways of the Massachusetts legislature. . Did you notice how everyone -- yesterday for picking a Beacon Hill insider that is favored candidate. For lieutenant governor senator Richard to say is such an insider. That none of us know he was out I mean out of the -- public official. Which is in the horn this commentary that did strike me as odd but to say he's been in public life for 25 years the longest serving Republican legislature. . And it never came up that he is day. No well but back to my point everyone says to say will be viable because of his institutional knowledge of the state else. Which for my money is just another way of confirming that the way the legislature operates makes absolutely no sense for the rest of us for example. Other -- speaker Robert to Leo and senate president -- Murray does anyone seriously think the legislature deserves and nice long rest until the end of the year. That's like passing a few bills and a budget back in June left them exhausted for the remainder of 2009. So once again we are fixated on the spectacle of a democratic governor. Begging a democratic legislature to go back to work on behalf of largely democratic constituents. …”
