We’ve most likely span style=”font-weight: bold;”passed the inflection point/span, where the rate of decline starts becoming less and less. Sooner or later we could see the news actually become positive. The market is already beginning to figure this out.”br /br /Here are five recent positive posts from the CBP (along with his supporting charts)…br /(click on the title for the full story with graphs)br /br /1. a href=”http://scottgrannis.blogspot.com/2009/03/home-builders-stocks-bouncing.html”Home builders’ stocks bouncing/abr /This index of the stocks of 18 leading home builders is up over 40% from its late November ‘08 low.br /br /2. a href=”http://scottgrannis.blogspot.com/2009/03/industrial-metals-prices-bouncing.html”Industrial metals prices bouncing/abr /The global economy is not going down a black hole.br /br /3. a href=”http://scottgrannis.blogspot.com/2009/03/end-of-recession.html”End of the recession/abr /I see lots of signs showing up that could well mark the end of the recession.br /br /4. a href=”http://scottgrannis.blogspot.com/2009/03/no-shortage-of-money-10.html”span style=”font-weight: bold;”/spanNo shortage of money/abr /Credit is being extended to consumers at an above-average rate, and keeps posting all-time highs.br /br /5. a href=”http://scottgrannis.blogspot.com/2009/03/copper-update.html”span style=”font-weight: bold;”/spanCopper update/abr /Copper prices are up over 40% from their December lows.br /br /Add those to our list of a style=”color: rgb(51, 51, 255);” href=”http://mast-economy.blogspot.com/2009/02/101-reasons-plus-9-optimists.html”over 101 economic positives./a Thanks Scott.div class=”blogger-post-footer”div/div

Eldon Mast has been investing since the time he earned his first dollar back in the 1970s. He is particularly interested in how moods effect the market. In good times and bad, he has observed a peculiar fascination by the mainstream media on "bad news." He has also observed in business and investing that there is always a silver lining somewhere. You just have to find it. And when he finds it Mr. Mast enjoys talking about it and writing about it. It is out of that interest that the Good News Economist Blog was born. As a valedictorian of his class, Mr. Mast holds a B.S. in Computer Science from Millersville University of PA, and enjoys writing about and marketing anything, technical, computer, internet, or finance related. |
