GE MISSES

GE Posts Lower 1Q Profit, Cuts Outlook- AP
General Electric Co. reported a smaller-than-expected first-quarter profit on Friday and lowered its outlook for the full year, sending its shares down almost 10 percent in premarket trading as a slowing U.S. economy sapped its financial services business.

The fed has to raise interest rates. Either way, I see more downside pressure, at least a retest of the lows before any upward move. If the fed doesnt raise rates to compete with other countries, oh my. There was an excellent article by Volcker in the news the other day. I think I sent it to you, we need him in control to even have a chance to get this train back on track.
