continuing to rise the question is, can this be sustained, is this something that will continue for now, japan's economy certainly offering a bright light in the midst of negativity across the world >> we will take any version of that arabile, thank you still to come on "early today," time to buy that dream house and throw in the convertible. the major pay raise headed margo robbie's way and talk about full houses the e latest celebebs sharing g blisissful familily announcecem. blblissful famamily announuncem.
