Or they pick up the phone and call one of the half-dozen regular trading desk guys they speak to and drink with after work and say hey Jim, why did we go up today? Well, it was optimism about global recovery, Jack. Thus "investors say" is born, published and widely repeated by everyone running that wire service. I have a friend who was in government public affairs for 20 years and now does corporate communications. He says most business reporters are incredibly lazy.

OT. Slow day in the market for me. I'm liking that. regarding, "flock of journalists" Even after so many years living close-in to neighbors in kind of a beach/city area, I'm surprised by the number/types of critters in my backyard. Storytelling of crows, scurry of squirrels, a stench of skunks, and when we let our pets out...a clutter of cats. Forget the term, but I like those words which describe a group animals. No word that I've found though for a grouping of oppossums.
