And those type of headlines are so dang annoying. There's two ways I look at this: Option 1 is they have some insight on the situation beyond what I know, such as variables I hadn't factored in including a bit of "confidence tricks" to keep people from panicking. Option 2 is they are mostly relying on confidence tricks and the economy operates like an egregore who's strength is derived from peoples plan trusting. While option 2 is tongue in cheek, it's not so inaccurate since market forced are efficient and operate regardless of of our concern. There's actually a bit of both of these I see from time to time, with things like the most significant market growth occuring when consumer confidence is way down with main street feeling like it's dying.
