Real new home sale prices and existing-home sale prices have been rising very sharply. When that starts to give way and we don't have the equity market picking up where housing left off, that's another reason the economic expansion will be gradual.

People are, in fact, a little bit nervous.... People have realized there is a little bit of risk in the equity market.

I think the big jump in Japan gives a nice tail wind to the equity markets this morning.
