Leading indicators rise in September
12 mins ago

NEW YORK – A private industry group says the economy's health improved for the first time in five months in September as interest rate spreads, supplier deliveries and new orders strengthened.

The New York-based Conference Board said Monday its monthly forecast of future economic activity rose 0.3 percent, a better reading than the 0.2 percent drop expected by Wall Street economists surveyed by Thomson/IFR.

"Data on hand reflect a contracting economy, but not one in free fall," said Ken Goldstein, a labor economist at the Conference Board.

Yeah, as soon as he started yapping the market started tanking. And it stopped going down right around the time he finished.

If Heli-Ben really wanted to save the economy he should simply resign.

Is it any wonder that J6P is in such financial trouble? Even the govt is urging him to spend money. UFB
