today, sherwin williams rallied an astounding $5.83. putting the uber skeptics that kept you from getting that gain. they will never apologize. they don't think they did anything wrong. i beg to disagree. it's possible for skepticism to morph into cynicism, if not, outright nihilism where the only thing that matters is the ability to interpret the negative. maybe we're there and these talking heads are taking cue from a dostoevsky novel. they only want to destroy your capital. you see this kind of logic with the power company -- and they would have been much lower if the winter hadn't been warm. the only group with strong, pent up demand as well as consumers, surely, it must be the weather that's driving the numbers up. therefore, the good news is merely stealing sales that would have occurred in late spring and thus revealing shortfalls to come. qed, better start selling fast. so much for deductive reasoning. i say let's forget this twisted sister logic and deal with some facts about the strength of retail. every time vf corp. went hig

the economist named sherwin rosen wrote a whole series of papers on the super incomes. and he said -- he attributed to and showed that it was pretty responsible idea that these are people with very high skills. who are they? well, rock stars, athletes. no one complains about their getting high incomes. but i suppose there are people who think that it's wrong for alex rodriguez to make as much money as he does. but he gets it because he's a superstar. then there are surgeons, trial lawyers, even a few college professors. and businessmen. now, most of these people have extreme skills. try to think about what it takes to run a company that has branches in 100 different countries. and if it's a bank, that there are 50,000 people every day who are making commitments. it would kill you. that's a big management job. that's why they get these high incomes. are there disparities in the thing? are there injustices in the thing? of course. life is full of injustices. but that's not the main point. the main point is that what's happening here is happening everywhere. so it's not a

so does sherwin-williams. it's why i'm recommending the small regional banks other than the big behemoths. it brings me to the contradictions i'm seeing right now in the stock market. the biggest worry in the market is runaway oil. everyone knows that, you watch. and what to do about companies that are net users and those who will have to flinch at $5 a gallon gasoline that we seem to be headed for. but a lot of this is linked to oil stocks that are signalling a dramatic decline. oil is a big cohort in this market. one thing i'm never going to waver on as long as i'm out here. when energy goes down, i get bullish, not bearish. too much can go right when oil goes up, and second, we know there is an opportunity when all stocks are headed down. plenty do well in a slower or slowing economy, especially those we're telling to you buy into weakness. when oil costs go down ahead of earnings season, they might give you decent quarters, like alcoa, but might tell you that we see that in energy. ceos may take heart, not
