I simply said that the most important economic news this week is housing and financials. If those show continued signs of weakness the economic recovery, whether you believe it is roaring, nonexistent, somewhere in between, will end up faltering.

If we get confirmation of Citi and BofA's poor performance along with more signs that the housing bump is over it seems impossible to believe that an economic recovery is underway. Housing and financials won't lead us out of this recession but they are strong enough to pull us down again. Wells Fargo, Morgan Stanley, and housing data would seem the most important data.
