Why Are We Back at the Highs?
Q1 GDP came in at +2.5% while the consensus stood at +3.1%. This is another economic miss to go with other recent dissapointments in manufacturing, services, retail and employment reports.

2) Recent economic report softness is wrong and the economy is indeed growing faster.

4) All the bulls will look foolish as the economy continues to soften with lower stock prices on the way.
5) Other...please explain.
