aussiebear Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Posted February 3, 2010 U.K. Consumer Confidence Increased in January Feb. 3 (Bloomberg) -- U.K. consumer confidence rose in January as the economy emerged from its worst recession on record, Nationwide Building Society said. The index of sentiment increased 3 points from the previous month to 73, the customer-owned lender said in an e-mailed statement today. The result is almost double the level of 39 measured in the same month last year.

I think we have a few of them on the board. I think that the second article is just another example for spurious correlation, but i could be wrong. When I studied history and politics there were those guys who were siting at least 10 hours a day in the library. Weere they depressive? Were they educated? They had definitely a form of addiction, but is that really something bad?
DrStool Posted February 3, 2010 Report Posted February 3, 2010 Interesting, worth reading: 1. January Tax Withholdings Indicate That The Treasury Is Unjustifiably Optimistic In Its Reduced Funding Need Projections http://www.zerohedge.com/article/january-t...ed-funding-need It's a miracle. They got something right for a change. I wonder where they got it from. The Wall Street Examiner Professional Edition has been reporting this for months. Well, only half right. What ZH DOES NOT report is that the government already saved about $115 billion in January from their prior estimate. So the new estimate is simply a reflection of that saving. So what the government is estimating for February and March debt actually represents a substantial increase from their previous estimate. Typical. I was actually warning beginning early in January that debt sales were less than projected and would continue that way through the month because of the the Treasury's enormous cash balance--money the Treasury got back from the TARP.

POTUS Posted February 3, 2010 Report Posted February 3, 2010 TARP money in. TARP money out. Just one big electronic FRN-go-RoundaRound. Its just the ultimate three card monte inside a shell game handed up by the bunko artists of the government of the day. The future is clear. Billions and billions more FRN's borrowed and then printed every month, for every year, for every decade for as far as the eye can see.
