OOPS!

The ISM index declined last month reflecting a slowdown in manufacturing (ancipated by our The Peter Dag Portfolio).

The report shows other signs of weakness. In other words, these data are consistent with weakness, definetely not with economic strength (click on the chart to enlarge it).

It could be good news for bonds. They are providing great price appreciation in this business cycle. Our readers are reminded that one buys bonds mainly for price appreciation.
