I was thinking the same thing. When I first saw this report I thought that would be the only reason for the increase. I'm not one of those bears who discredits everything the government releases as bullshit and manipulated so I will give them the benefit of the doubt. So if the data is true...

So the poll has been "invaded by bots" because 2000 people voted utilities will be up this week? I don't see any problems with this poll. Poll results are not enough to convince me that the poll is rigged and invaded by bots. Unless of course it's another one of those landslide victory...

Lack of bullishness on the economy is understandable right now. Lack of bullishness on the stock market is not. Markets dropped too low during the collapse. Whether markets have overshot the recovery or not remains to be seen, but they definitely don't deserve to be @ the lows.

Invaded by bots?! How and why do you know this?

The only show on TV that truly matters.

^^ This. If reducing minimum wage increases employment, then by definition, why not make it 0? Eliminating minimum wage increases employment numbers, but does not increase the wealth of the worker. Minimum wages are there to protect workers from greedy employers. Why don't we get rid...

I agree. Oil prices going up eventually causes all prices to climb, and is it ever going up! The weakening USD is also indicative. Deflation isn't entirely off the table yet, but inflation is the more likely result.

Fucked up eh. Only in America.

Right...I'm clueles...Just nationalize the shit out of the oil companies and keep oil prices lower than all hell. Great idea, problem solved...

Bears gloss over good economic news much in the same way as bulls gloss over bad economic news. It's in the human nature to pay more attention and put more merit into evidence that supports their own hypothesis. I'm also not a fan of government intervention, but believe there can be...

How is this article related to the thread topic?

You are correct. I am Canadian but the name (the full name) is Polish. For the record, I wasn't singling you out with this thread, although you do fit the description nicely. The main reason I liked this article was because of the part about the discrediting all government information...

I can even see Negative Nancy and Downer Debbie turning this into a flame thread so as to deflect attention away from it.

Kassz is part of my last name actually...completely unrelated to Doug Kass. You seem to take offense to this thread rather quickly, even though your name wasn't mentioned. We all know you are a perma bear but I wasn't aware that you also know.

Wow is that ever a terribly bad idea.

If the West/Russia/China have the ability to stop the development of nuclear weapons by other countries, why shouldn't they? The only moral grounds the West/Russia/China should be concerned about is reducing the probability of a nuclear war by limiting the total number of nuclear weapons on the...

Been hearing this from you for quite some time now. If it happens in 12 years will you come back and post about how you were correct?
