More To Economic Slowdown Than Weather [SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, PowerShares QQQ Trust, Series 1 (ETF), SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF] - Seeking Alpha



This is a great article by Sy Harding about how the economy appears to be slowing down.  While Federal Reserve regional business reports are mixed, housing starts are going down.  As Sy mentioned, the housing industry usually leads the economy and the stock market in boom and bust times.  The decline in housing starts as well as permits is a bad sign.  This may be one reason the stock market has become more volatile.  We need to keep our eyes on the exit doors in case the stock market takes a serious downturn.
