I know I'm inching out onto ground usually covered much better by economic bloggers like Tom Ball, bonddad, and Jerome a Paris, however I thought it important to point out that the "record stock market" that's been getting plenty of lovin' from the media, is not great news for the country's economy.  In fact, rather than being an indicator of economic strength, the high number on the Dow index, is actually a measure of how investors are losing faith in the broader economy.
