Thanks for the answer, and ditto DennisL's question. (I'm not worth the 600+K that triggers the estate tax this year)

In response to message posted by pjstack:

Dennis/pj,

As long as the titiling is for convenience and there is no taxable gift over $10K AND so long as the eventual estate is under the current lifetime unified credit equivalent, there should be no transfer taxes to worry about and the joint titiling will make things much easier post-mortem in terms of access to funds, etc. without having to worry about probate.

» Rande - PPI Shock

PPI up way more than anticipated -- have to get the lowdown on why. Remember, PPI can volatile month-to-month and is far less important than CPI. Still, the numbers are big. Housing starts solid. Production and capacity utilization later will be closely-watched.

8:30 am ET JAN. SINGLE-FAMILY HOME STARTS UP 3% TO 1.34 MILLION; PERMITS UP 10% TO 1.27 MILLION

8:30 am ET HOUSING REMAINS VIBRANT AS MORTGAGE RATES TUMBLE

8:30 am ET JAN. BUILDING PERMITS RISE 13% TO 1.70 MILLION PACE

8:30 am ET JAN. HOUSING STARTS RISE 5% TO 1.65 MILLION PACE VS. 1.57 MILLION EXPECTED

8:30 am ET JANUARY PPI RISE 1.1 PERCENT, CORE RATE UP 0.7 PERCENT, ABOVE EXPECTATIONS

In response to message posted by Rande:

I posted the info in the economy thread at the same time. Shocking!

Hard to have a good ole fashioned recession when housing starts AND building permits are up so strong. Perhaps the optimists ARE right and it was an inventory problem and we'll see good growth once again in 2 quarters or so?

My guess is the energy prices worked their way into the numbers but it will be interesting to read the interpretations as they come out.

Yes, analysis should be interesting. More important will be next week's CPI.

In response to message posted by Rande:

Here's hoping that when history is written, February 16, 2001 does not go down as the day that marked the beginning of a prolonged, 1970s-style stagflationary period.

That PPI number is truly shocking and, IMO, a very bad omen of things to come...8-(
