Why is everyone nervous . . ?

We as investors are enjoying near-record levels for major stock indexes but we will scrutinize the housing data and other economic indicators in the weeks to come. 

Concern about the Federal Reserve's path of rate increases have resulted in big swings in the S&P 500 on a daily basis, even though overall expectations for volatility remain low. Now reduced expectations of approaching rate hikes, the S&P 500 (.SPX)  came close to record closing highs on Friday. "Any piece of economic data that speaks to the pace of job creation or inflation/defation will be watched very closely. 

With Wall Street bracing for the first Fed rate hike since 2006, the S&P 500 on average this year has fluctuated 24 points per session, its most volatile since December 2011, according to Reuters . After U.S. consumer prices in January fell their furthest in 6 yrs. due to low gasoline prices, Tuesday's February Consumer Price Index is expected to be up 0.2 percent, according to a Reuters poll. The U.S. economy's growth prospects and the outlook for rate hikes have also been wishy washy by the strong dollar. The dollars 20% surge over a year has caused about 50 companies to reduce earnings expectations for the first quarter, and more could be on the way.

Investors also worry about falling oil prices and how much of the recent drop is attributable to global economic weakness as opposed to oversupply. Some investors worry that consumers are not spending money freed up by lower gasoline prices on more goods and services.

So why is everyone nervous?  Lets see, Russia, Putin, the powder keg in the middle east, Obama, tax time is around the corner, portfolios have not preformed at expected, unexplained plane crashes. ”That’s why everyone is nervous."
