The stronger dollar isnt great but the incredible v shape rally in the stock market doesnt jive with reality in a world where we still have double digit unemployment tonight, though, we need to talk about the other part of the sentence the stock market doesnt reflect Current Conditions emphasis on the word current why . The market is a forecast machine across the ball and supposed to be appearing six to nine months in the future. Maybe the economy is in rough shape.
