Attention: Deficit disorder - MIT News Office

Attention: Deficit disorder - MIT News Office

As we move into the next phase of our Deficit Debt Disorder, November is critical. What happens may make what happened this summer look like the toddlers' ride vs. Space Mountain.

This has great discussion and also have a video. Sorry the video is a little long (1:20min). But it is very informative.

What the Market Wants to See From Europe & U.S. GDP


Here's what the (Stock) market wants to see from our friends in Europe. The uncertaintanty in the EU is generally killing the rest of the world's economies while we wait to see if they are gonna figure it out, and if/when they do, what they will do.
We'll watch and see. It's tough to be playing in the stock market under these conditions. (But it was a nice day today!:-)

Misery... I hate when that happens.

Misery loves company: http://www.cnbc.com/id/44970105

The misery in the US is up to 13%... If you adjust it down by the rate of GPD growth which is almost zero, and it is still pretty painful.

Not nearly as painful as other countries. Spain has pretty high unemployment rate, for example.

Ouch!:-(
