US Consumers still spending - Retail Sales surprise

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

Finally today was reported one of the key factors that many analysts are always looking for, Retail sales. It was clear that consumers have not been affected by the worries of high fuel costs neither with the problems related with the credit and home sales. Retail sales in the U.S. increased twice as much as forecast in November. The 1.2 percent increase was biggest since May, followed a 0.2 percent gain the prior month, the Commerce Department said today in Washington. Purchases excluding automobiles jumped 1.8 percent, the most since January 2006.Finally we see something that could bring some relief to this market, stopping market volatile and all stress around in investors, about a possibility recession. I will be worry in the US economy when we start to see a decrease in the creation of jobs and a decrease in spending, until there, I’m still very confident in thiseconomy. I'm convinced that we'll move up again.

RMBS is looking great in this cup and handle. Now all we need is for it to break naturally. Keep Rambus on your lists for a potential break-out candidate, if markets cooperate.
