* Retail Holders Holding Up - One facet of the bear thesis is that housing weakness will spill over to the broad economy as consumers retrench. Above we see the Retail Holder ETF (RTH) going back to May of 2001. What we see is that, during the recession of 2001-2002, retail stocks plunged precipitously.

That's something I'm watching carefully, both for implications re: the broad stock market and the economy.
