The End is Near?
27 Jul 2009The index of leading indicators, which signals turning points in the economy, is rising at a rate that has accurately indicated the end of every recession since the index began to be compiled in 1959.

Credit Card Hell
28 Jun 2009Anyone else think the recent “reforms” didn’t address the problem of many people’s credit cards, namely the usurious interest rates? Spotted over at Ritzholtz.

Green Shoots Nonsense?
11 May 2009More statistical games with April’s employment numbers. The mainstream media have focused on the numbers being “good” because they aren’t falling as fast as previous months (a bit of a reach, IMHO).
