The Breakfast Briefing
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke has a message for investors: "I don't see evidence of an equity bubble."
During his testimony before the Senate Banking Committee, Mr. Bernanke said stock prices don't appear to be overvalued, corporate earnings are high and equity risk premiums — the added return investors demand for holding stocks — are above normal.
In his eyes, that's a green flag for investors.
Others suggest that line of thinking isn't so clear cut.
In a chat with MarketBeat, Michael Gavin, head of asset allocation research at Barclays in New York, said he generally agrees with Mr. Bernanke's assessment of the stock market, "as long as he can engineer a gradual normalization of monetary conditions in the U.S."
That's a big if. And normal monetary conditions aren't coming anytime soon. Mr. Bernanke reiterated his belief that the benefits of the central bank's bond-buying programs continue to outweigh the risks. He advocated for the Fed to continue implementing its easy-money policies.
Those policies have kept interest rates near zero, while bond prices have risen and yields have dropped. The benchmark 10-year yield fell to 1.877% on Tuesday. "If I had to label it, I would say equities are fairly valued within the context of very expensive fixed income," Mr. Gavin said.
The Fed's efforts have been a major underpinning behind the market's rally. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has more than doubled since March 2009 and has climbed to within 300 points of its all-time high. The S&P 500 closed just below 1500 and lies 4.4% from its record high.
The S&P 500's price-to-earnings ratio sits at about 15, according to FactSet, right around its historical average. Yet recent valuation research done by Ed Easterling at Crestmont Research suggests the market is looking a bit more expensive than some people believe.
Mr. Easterling produces a long-term P/E metric that is similar to Robert Shiller's 10-year P/E ratio, which argues the market appears overvalued. At the end of 2012, Easterling pegged the stock market's P/E at 20.3, well above his long-term average of about 14.
The debate over valuations and whether the market is cheap, expensive or fairly priced is one that doesn't have an easy answer. Depending on the metric used, analysts can make arguments for each and every scenario.
But with the Dow notching triple-digit-point swings in four of the last five trading days, investors increasingly are searching for ways to accurately value stocks.
At least for a day, Mr. Bernanke was able to soothe increasingly jittery investors.
Morning MarketBeat Daily Factoid: On this day in 2007, the Shanghai Stock Exchange fell 9%, its largest drop in 10 years. The tumble — dubbed the "Chinese Correction" — transpired as rumors circulated China would raise interest rates to curb inflation. The panic spilled into the U.S., as the Dow Jones Industrial Average slumped 416 points, its biggest one-day slide at the time since 9/11.

Reese Witherspoon has long been called "America's Sweetheart", with a long list of wholesome and girly-girl Hollywood leads in movies such as "Sweet Home Alabama", "Walk The Line" and "Legally Blonde". Lately however, Witherspoon has gone from being America's sweetheart- to hitting the tabloids hard with headlines of her "disorderly conduct" arrest. The arrest went down in Atlanta (where Witherspoon is shooting an upcoming movie) early morning last Friday. While it's true her mugshot may not have been the most glamorous look for her, it's undeniable that Reese has always been looked at as a fashion icon. Her look is always effortless, but classic (similar to Kate Middleton, as well as many other royals). We decided to pull some of our favorite looks of hers and show you how to get inspired when styling your designer swimwear.
Florals is one of the biggest trends for this season and Reese seems to favor them. Often she's caught in a floral pattern- whether it be on a dress or a blouse. We particularly favored this floral because the pattern seemed a bit updated from typical floral patterns. The almost watercolor-effect is similar to that of the Floral Fantasy bandeau from Lady Lux. We also loved how Reese paired it with some pops of fuchsia in both her shoes and her bag. It's definitely an easy look to recreate and super fresh for spring.
Tribal patterns also seem to be making the rounds this spring in stores across the country. We love this tribal (almost boho) dress of Reese's. We especially love the way she accessorized with the gold-heeled sandals, straw fedora, denim jacket, and aviators. When it comes to your luxury swimwear, this look is definitely easy to copy. Pair a tribal-patterned suit such as Crazy For You or Call On Me with a denim jacket (or a denim shirt) as a coverup. Add some gold jewelry and shoes, and of course your aviators! Just like Reese!
There's a reason every style resource you read stresses the importance of a LBD (Little Black Dress) in every wardrobe. Not only is black a universally classic color, it's also extremely flattering on almost every skin tone, as well as easy to accessorize. Reese's black dress is slightly structured- giving her a super cute shape. But, our favorite part of her look is her hot red pumps. Pair your classic, black luxury swimwear with some red accessories to spice up your look! We love the Truly, Madly, Deeply bikini in black for this look from Lady Lux. Then, whether it's your shoes, bag, or jewelry- add in red where you feel most comfortable!
Now you can take your beach look from drab to Reese-chic! Just try not to get caught in any mugshots along the way… Mugshots are never a good look!

If you've followed my blog for long you probably see that we love doing random acts of kindness in my classroom. I wanted to come up with a way for us to track the RAKs we had done so I decided to create a tree in the hallway. Each time the kids do a random act of kindness they write it on a heart. I plan to add the hearts to the tree as leaves. We are going to call it the Giving Tree.
Here's a picture of the tree before leaves & after a few leaves were added. I can't wait to see what it looks like at the end of the school year!
Our class was so excited that our Donor's Choose project was funded so we were able to get a few new Chromebooks. The kids used them for the first time this week and I can't wait to have them using them more often.
Finally, we learned about conduction, convection, and radiation last week.
I gave each student a piece of ice and they raced to see who could use conduction to melt it the fastest.
Congratulations to the students shown below! They won a trip to Chick-fil-A in a limo!

When coach Steve Ilg talks about snowshoeing, his face radiates pure joy and his enthusiasm is contagious.
One of my missions in life is to get more people out on snowshoes, said Ilg, a personal trainer and creator of Wholistic Fitness. Theres a mystical element to mountain snowshoeing that you cant relate in words. Im puzzled why more people arent out there doing it.
Ilg says snowshoeing is invaluable as an off-season cross-training tool for runners, cyclists and triathletes.
There is nothing like it, he said. It trains every biomechanical and physiologic system that instantly transfers over into other sports. There are many techniques and different workout patterns you can use to maximize the training effect.
Durangoan Sandra Lee became a snowshoe enthusiast last winter after participating in the Vallecito Nordic Demo Days snowshoe clinic. A self-proclaimed outdoor girl, it seemed like the logical winter choice to supplement her hiking and ultimately got her into trail running.
I was getting out every day, Lee said. I would go up Horse Gulch, the FLC Rim trail and even Animas Mountain. If I couldnt sleep at night, I would put on my snowshoes and run alongside the railroad track. It was so cool youre practically the only one out there.
Ilg thinks some people are confused about the equipment, assuming they need boots and poles.
Absolutely not, he said. Its as simple as throwing on your favorite pair of running shoes and stepping into the self-adjusting bindings.
There are different snowshoe choices, depending on whether you prefer running on packed trails or plan a trek into the high country powder and trees.
In the early 1980s, the technology began to get more refined and racing began, Ilg said.
Within the last five years, the sport has grown considerably as evidenced by the many ski areas that have added snowshoe trails and the abundance of races that have sprung up.
Locally, snowshoeing is permitted on the Hillcrest Golf Club and Vallecito Nordic Club trails, and the Nordic Center at Purgatory has a course that winds through national forest lands.
Racing also is becoming more popular. On Feb. 9, the Nordic Center will host the third annual Winter Warrior Snowshoe Race with 10K and 5K distances and a Kids Snow Dash. Other events in the Rocky Mountain region are listed on the U.S. Snowboard Association website at www.snowshoeracing.com.
Ilg hopes to encourage more interest in snowshoeing through races and group training opportunities.
Lee credits Ilg for her introduction to the sport.
The learning curve was quick, she said. The first time, I fell a few times, but then I got used to it. Coach Ilg taught me a lot about running up and down hills. That helped a lot.
Rentals are available at the Nordic Center and local ski shops. Durango Mountain Resort regularly offers snowshoe tours, and Seniors Outdoors! has weekly snowshoe treks into the high country.
As winter bears down and the promise of snow becomes reality, outdoor enthusiasts can don a pair of snowshoes and take their fitness to the next level.

NORAD Tapes Only
Intensify Implausibility Of 9/11 Official Story
Newly released portions of NORAD tapes from 9/11 featured in a Vanity Fair article do little to answer skeptic's questions about the impotence of U.S. air defenses on 9/11 and if anything only increase focus on the incompatibility of the official version of events with what is actually known to have taken place on that day.
It is clear that the exercises revolving around hijacked airliners scheduled for that morning created so much noise in the system that controllers could not pinpoint the positions of any of the real airliners to orchestrate any kind of intercept.
Errant 'ghost' aircraft such as 'Delta 89' and American Airlines 11 which controllers weren't aware had already crashed into the World Trade Center north tower continually confuse NORAD officials and at one point after Flight 77 has hit the Pentagon, they even intercept their own aircraft.
Several exchanges between NORAD personnel outline the confusion that the drills caused and delayed the response of air defense procedures.
"When they told me there was a hijack, my first reaction was 'Somebody started the exercise early,'" said mission-crew commander Major Kevin Nasypany.
The exercise of running numerous war games where planes would be mock-hijacked and crashed into high-profile targets is dismissed as a coincidence by the writer Michael Bronner, with no discussion of the astronomical improbability of the two scenarios colliding, in alliance with similar same target, same time drills which took place during the London bombings.
The tapes betray the fact that NORAD's attention to the fact that Flight 77 was heading towards Washington are virtually non-existent as they struggle to gain authorization to shoot down stray aircraft.
Despite the lies of Cheney in his subsequent TV interviews and statements given under oath to the 9/11 Commission, those shoot down orders never arrived, even after United 93 had crashed in Pennsylvania.
While NORAD struggled to comprehend what exactly was heading towards Washington, in Dick Cheney's PEOC bunker things were apparently a lot clearer. The testimony of Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta is brought under more scrutiny by the NORAD tapes.
How could Cheney know exactly what was heading for Washington and give clear orders for its path to remain clear, while the very people mandated to defend the skies of America scrambled desperately to make sense of the chaos and get fighters in the positions they needed to be?
"During the time that the airplane was coming in to the Pentagon, there was a young man who would come in and say to the Vice President, "The plane is 50 miles out." "The plane is 30 miles out."
And when it got down to "the plane is 10 miles out," the young man also said to the Vice President, "Do the orders still stand?"
"And the Vice President turned and whipped his neck around and said, "Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?"
Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta's testimony to the 9/11 Commission, May 23, 2003.
The impotence of NORAD in only having access to four fighters to cover the entire eastern seaboard of the US contradicts the fact that 35 USAF bases alone were within range of the hijacked flights but were never called upon or given as an option.
The quick response by NORAD to the golfer Payne Stewart's off-course aircraft in 1999 is often cited as contradicting with procedure on 9/11. In addition, there were 67 occasions where fighters were scrambled to intercept errant aircraft in the 9 month period before 9/11.
Other segments of the tapes only raise more questions and do not provide any answers to long-standing mysteries.
- How did the admittedly incompetent pilot hijackers turn off the transponders of all the aircraft? A procedure, according to professionals that we have talked to, is often beyond the capability of even the most experienced commercial pilots?
- In one portion of the tapes, NORAD personnel are heard to marvel at the excellence of the hijacker's strategy.
These guys are smart? Contrast this statement with those of the flight instructors when describing the skills of the alleged hijackers.
Mohammed Atta: "His attention span was zero."
Khalid Al-Mihdhar: "We didn't kick him out, but he didn't live up to our standards."
Marwan Al-Shehhi: "He was dropped because of his limited English and incompetence at the controls."
Salem Al-Hazmi: "We advised him to quit after two lessons."
Do the descriptions afforded to these men square with the chaos that their skills in evading detection brought to the NORAD control room? Or were the planes being controlled by some other means than morons who could barely get single engine Cessna's off the ground - but who apparently ran the world's most sophisticated air defense ragged for hours?
Does the panic that envelops the NORAD control room and the fear that new reports of hijacked planes will never end, coupled with speculation that anything (the White House and the Statue of Liberty are mentioned) could be a target, corroborate with the actions of President Bush's security detail?
Reports of numerous stray aircraft, bombs on planes, and truck bombs at the Pentagon fly and yet President Bush sits calmly in a Florida classroom apparently safe in the knowledge that he is not a target. Why wasn't the President hurried into the nearest underground bunker as soon as Card told him "America is under attack," unless Bush's people were confident of the exact targets beforehand, and that Bush himself wasn't one of them?
The writer of the Vanity Fair piece has taken the NORAD tapes on their own and attempted to forward them as proof that the official version of events is largely accurate, minus the proven lies about the non-authorization of shoot downs.
The problem is that the behavior of the errant planes, when overlaid with the activities of Cheney and Bush, standard intercept operating procedure (minus the intentional confusion of an untold number of blips from the NORAD drills) and the incompetent hijackers, simply does not corroborate.
Furthermore, the tape portions amount to a total of no more than 20 minutes of hand-picked cmmunications and it is admitted that the discussions of the higher brass are not recorded due to secrecy. Nothing is mentioned of the six tapes of air traffic control communications with the hijacked airliners that were deliberately destroyed by FAA managers.
The purpose of the Vanity Fair and a similar Washington Post article is to whitewash the entire affair and blame 9/11 on the incompetence of NORAD.
The NORAD tapes, far from dissolving so-called "conspiracy theories," only serve to support the weight of evidence that points directly towards a deliberate plan on September 11, 2001 to make the air defenses of the United States impotent and to enable the planes to find their targets.
