Unemployment Rates, Recession Periods and Stock Market Prices

Interesting charts. I noticed the last "bottom" in the S&P was April 2003. The unemployment did not peak until July 2003 (3 months later). This kind of make since as the market always seems to tell us when we are pulling out of a recession or down cycle or what ever you want to call this. Personally I think the negative vibe is pretty pervasive, which tells me it is time to start slowly wading back in to the market. There are a lot of high quality companies that continue to grow that have been beaten down by the rest of the market.
