		<description><![CDATA[The positive stock market momentum of the last four days provides a favorable backdrop for Ben Bernanke&#8217;s second news conference, which takes place this afternoon. The Greek vote and solid earnings report from FedEx (FDX) should help sustain the optimistic tone in the market. But the market&#8217;s focus will be on the Fed. In Greece, the reshuffled cabinet of Prime Minister George Papandreou was able to get a vote of confidence from parliament. This opens the way for the release of the next tranche of the original bailout funds approved last year. This gives the Greek government some breathing room, though they still have to enact and implement a host of tough and very unpopular austerity measures to win another round of bailout money.

The year-ago rate of 5.09 million was depressed as everyone was rushing to get the deals done in November 2009 before they thought the first time buyer tax credit would expire. The tax credit was unexpectedly extended (and expanded) at the last minute. Thus, take the year-over-year rise with a grain of salt. The January sales rate was above consensus expectations of a 5.23 million annual rate.

EPS in the prior year quarter was 21 cents, which, however, included 5 cents per share of anti-dumping duties. Reported EPS for the quarter includes 6 cents of tax benefit and 1 cent of anti-dumping duties. Management said that though macroeconomic challenges continue to impact the business, the company is cautiously hopeful that the consumer is more confident to return to the marketplace. Effective execution against the strategic objectives has been a major positive and management is encouraged by the improvement of the La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries store network’s same-store sales.

		<description><![CDATA[The Institute for Supply Management’s (ISM) manufacturing survey slipped to a reading of 56.5 from 58.4 in January, a drop of 1.9 points and below the 58.0 reading that was expected. However, anything over 50 indicates that the manufacturing economy is expanding, so this is still a very strong reading, just less strong than in January. It is also a huge improvement over the rates we were seeing a year ago. As the graph below shows, the ISM is a good coincident indicator of the economy, plunging during recessions but then recovering quickly as the recession comes to an end. While the ISM index did not set a new post-war record low in this recession the way that several other economic indicators did, it still got down to very scary ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Institute for Supply Management’s survey of the Manufacturing sector of the economy rose by 3.5 points to 58.4 in January from 54.9 in December. That far exceeded consensus expectations for an increase to 55.5. It is also the highest reading on the consensus index since August of 2004. This is a stunning turnaround in the index, which in December of 2008 stood at 32.5, its lowest level since March of 1975. The index is set up so that any reading above 50.0 indicates that the manufacturing side of the economy is expanding, and any level below that indicated contraction. It is composed of ten sub-indexes, nine of which rose in January and eight of which are now above the magic 50 mark. The overall index has now been above ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In October, existing home sales rose by 10.1% and are now 23.5% above the year-ago rate. Sales were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.10 million, up from 5.54% in September and a 4.94 million pace a year ago. Existing single family home sales rose by 9.7% to a 5.33 million pace, while condo sales soared by 13.7% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 770,000. Sales have been greatly aided by the &#8220;first time&#8221; homebuyer tax credit, which while eventually extended and expanded, for most of the month looked like was about to expire. Thus, in October people were scrambling to try to get in under the wire. This is the fifth straight month that existing home sales have exceeded year-ago levels. Even more impressive is the fact ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Existing home sales rose 7.2% from last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.24 million from June’s rate of 4.89 million. This was also 5.0% above the year-ago level of 4.99 million, and the consensus expectations of 5.0 million. This is very good news. The only real weak spots I saw in the report were that inventories rose by 7.3%, so despite the increased sales rate, the months of supply remained at a very high (but off peak-level) of 9.4 months. Median prices fell 15.1% from a year ago to $178,400. While median price is not the best metric for judging home prices (it can be easily influenced by the mix of houses), this rate of decline is roughly consistent with the Case-Schiller numbers and is not a surprise. ]]></description>
