King Dollar Roars Back

This article just presents data that we already know about the dollar's recent gains and then pastes a big, smiley face of a headline on as the title.

Since, from an anthropological standpoint, I find this behavior fascinating, I decided to look at this author's other recent articles. Here is a sample:

# King Dollar Roars Back

# Adjusted for Growth in the US Labor Force, July's Jobless Claims Are Below Average

# Economic Stimulus Package Boosts Real Disposable Income

# U.S. Oil Production Today Same as in 1948

# Second Quarter Homeownership Rate Has Largest Increase in Four Years

# There's Been Major Deflation for Some Products

And, possibly my favorite:

# Putting $1T Subprime Mortgage Losses in Perspective


This guy must sit in front of his computer all day with headphones on and Bobby McFerrin's famous mantra on infinite repeat.
