Treading Sideways.........?

There is not much going on in the marketplace lately. It seems we have entered a sideways phase in the market as we tread water @ 10000 on the DOW. However, we must note that recently the CPI appears to be rising. Is this a signal for possible inflation within the year ahead? Is there a interest rate rise in our future? Time will tell................On a side note we here at the dog are working on some special meters for you to get a quick read on the economy.
