“Roadkill Headlines”
by Bill Bonner
“Let’s begin by feasting, like a vulture (many thanks to the Dear Reader who suggested it in today’s mailbag), on this morning’s roadkill headlines:
Bloomberg: ‘Government Shutdown Begins’
CNBC: ‘Dow Closes Down 1,030 Points’
The New York Times: ‘Republicans Learn to Love Deficit Spending’
CNN: ‘Rand Paul Calls Out Hypocrisy of GOP Deficit Hike’
Headlines of the future: As for the stock plunge, the mainstream press is coming around to our point of view: interest rates are going up; stocks are going down. Reports Bloomberg: ‘U.S. stocks plunged on concern that rising interest rates will drag down economic growth. U.S. stocks fell to two-month lows after a nine-day swoon, erasing their gains for the year. Thursday’s 3.8% loss took the S&P 500 Index’s decline since its January 26 record past 10%, meeting the accepted definition of a correction. The Dow plunged more than 1,000 points.’
We get the news no sooner than anyone else. Many times, we’ve tried to guess what tomorrow’s news will bring. We have done enough tests to know that either it can’t be done reliably…or we are no good at it. But that doesn’t stop us from trying. Herewith, for what it is worth, we look at the headlines for the months ahead. Note that any similarity between these headlines and actual events is purely coincidental:
