  • As Jobs Decline
    Come now... people who "gave up" looking for jobs are people who AREN'T LOOKING FOR JOBS. They should not be counted as "unemployed."... People who are looking for full-time jobs but find only part-time should be accounted for, though.

  • The (Non) Crash of 2008
    The fact that the bottom is not a "capitulation bottom" does not necessarily mean we are most likely headed lower. It just means contrarians don't have the highest possible degree of confidence that the bottom is in.
