Income is up and yet sentiment is down. And wasn't CPI down as well?

Sentiment indicators are a huge waste of time. Pay attention to data, like today's duable goods, not whimsical "mood" polls.

I have seen those kind of polls move several points either way on the
"news of the moment" hype. They pretty much are worthless except as a conversation piece.

Those reading the government reports for trends are looking at the past. Sentiment is not that good but its better than flawed reports about the past that keep getting adjusted. In reality, it seems clear we are entering a slowing phase which will probably lead to a full economic downturn in 2013. Asides from metals as a hedge to QE I'd be careful buying into a dip.
