Our Growing Jobless
So the true unemployment rate is 13.9% (since that includes those not working because they are discouraged – – – surely their feelings shouldn't excuse them from being included in the figure, should they?), and yet people are anticipating a big rally because "stocks like to climb a wall of worry." Good luck with that.
Cultural Icons
I've done thousands of posts since I started this blog, so I lose track of what I've said. This might be a repeat, but I hope you'll find it in your heart to forgive me if it is.
I am a big believer in cultural icons as contrary indicators. A particularly remarkable one to me is the best-selling Richistan. Want to see where this celebration of vast riches was published? How about that.
