if you think the US economy is doing well, you must work on Wall Street, in the media, or for the federal government
I wonder what color the sky is in his world. That much delusion is incredible in someone who’s actually allowed out in public.
I have too much dignity to ever write for a business publication. I just can’t BS people in a way that could lead them to go broke.
Who is writing this crap? Unemployment down to pre-recession levels???Has the writer forgotten about the number of people who have dropped out of the Labor Force and those working in part time jobs? “Economy Kicking Butt”???? This guy must live in Colorado and is smoking that Legal weed.
"We have always been at war with Eastasia."
The US economy certainly is kicking a lot of people in the butt.
The market is worse than the classic ingrate who always asks, "yeah but what have you done for me lately?" The market asks, "what are you going to do for me in six months?"
To indulge another cliché, the author is telling us that the good news is already out, a classic sell signal.
The American stock market is no longer a creature of the American economy but a cog in the global wheel and the wheels in China are going off the wagon.
But "em"ployment is down around the level it was during the dying days of the Carter administration.
Such an expert.

The sucker who wrote this needs a hard slap across the back of his head.
You are as significantly impacted by a small personal changes as by massive market shifts. That gets ignored.
I lost my shorts in 2008. Not everyone did.
My only advice is that I'll take care of my own stuff and leave the big market stuff to those that can afford food.

Don’t forget we also have peace in our time! Thank you JOKErry! Print some more monopoly money Hussein, yer gonna need it for green fees in Indonesia.
If the economy is doing so well...
Why are almost 50 million Americans receiving SNAP (foodstamps)?
Why are 93 million Americans not in the workforce?
Why does the Federal Reserve need to keep interest rates at almost zero for years?
Hmmmmmmmmm?
2.0% GDP growth (and that’s before it is adjusted)? That must be some skinny butt.
Do they do drug tests at BI (whatever that is)?
The author must be an Obama voter.
Business Insider is probably in my top 10 sites to visit.
They try to be balanced. The number of articles that make a candidate look good, vs. bad are roughly the same whether it’s Hillary or Trump.
They have some good economic articles, great graphic presentations, an occasional sports article.
It is constantly refreshed, even on weekends.
Bad news is that it is a resource hog. BI won’t work well on a Starbucks WI-FI for example. You need a fat bit pipe to access.
The advantage to FR, besides the much needed political slant, is that it can be used with any level of connection. It’s mainly text, no ads.
