Bare as the Moon? Nope, some green!

Posted on 13. Mar, 2009 by scott in economic daydreaming

Just when I thought that BHO and his team were going to leave us all to the winds of fate, I start seeing some green.

THe BHO team has been woefully deficient in their efforts to stimulate the economy.? A survey of 80 influential economists (Jeez, do we have 80 economists out there, let alone 80 influential ones?? Could be part of the problem) shows that the VAST majority of them give BHO and his econ team a failing grade.

And so, BHO and his muppets must have taken note.? They are starting to talk a bit more positively instead of scaring us all on this 2nd Friday the 13th of the year.? Thank Heavens for that!

The market has been up 3 days in a row, and remember that the market is a leading economic indicator (it kinda tells us what things will be like 6-9 months down the road).

So, positive vibes (learned that from my favorite war movie — Kelly’s Hero’s) are starting to take affect.

The economic forecast is NOT as bare as the far side of the Moon anymore . . . there is something green out there and it just might start growing big.? All they gotta do is keep their eye on the ball (unemployment) and leave the rest to the good, hardworking folk of America.

Talk it up Obama, and keep howlin’ at the moon!

Next week my Freddie Mac stock might be up 50% (yes fifty freaking percent) all the way to 60 cents a share (and I’ll be able to sell it all and buy a Big Mac (not the value meal, just the Mac).
