Surprisingly, construction spending is up and Master Card purchases are on an increase. Reports show that the U.S. grew at a 3.9 percent pace in the third quarter. Even though home building activity is plunging, exports grew at the fastest rate in nearly 4 years. All this good economic news while inflation seems tame.

Oh yeah, did we mention the quarter percent rate cut? The Fed cut .25 basis point off the rate to make it 4.5%.
