Markets March On
The economy slowly improves.

After quick gains in the spring, the market has stayed
unchanged. Optimists say that the recovery is under way,
just at a slower than desired pace. Others feel that the
economy is poised for a double dip recession.

Speculation among extreme bears is that a housing crash
that would damage the economy is inevitable over the
next few quarters. James Golden asks whether the end
is truly near.
