Economy

The stocks of the big car companies are down significantly, a possible canary in the stock market.
"Could it be related to the gloomy news that the number of new mortgage applications has just hit a 13 year low? That the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries is a barely break-even-with-inflation 3 percent? That there are almost1.5 million fewer Americans employed full-time today than there were in 2006, even as the population has increased by 16 million since then?"
Or it could be that people have less money.

Christmas retail sales were down.
