Anecdotal Economic Indicator Looking Better

Last spring I suggested how it was a bad sign that the Chicago Bulls were willing to sell me 180 tickets, rather than the usual 90.

Now, with little effort, I have been able to find people who would like to use the extra 90 (and share proportionally in the cost).

I will bet you that this kind of thing is entirely driven by the stock market. If the market goes back down (which it should, based upon the fundamentals), you will once again be attending more Bulls games than you'd like.

The Minnesota Timberwolves offered me 1400 tickets. They open tonight. Any takers for the remainder of my 1398?

Seriously, there are anecdotal signs of life in my neck of the woods. New contruction in what had been for the last two years mothballed developments, and "hiring" signs at fast-food joints (yeah, I hear the snickering about "burger flipper" this or that) and convenience stores. Not an economic tsunami, but not the dustbowl either.
