I'm sure some Negative Nelly, Sally Sourpuss or Gloomy Gus will refute this story but hopefully someone will find it uplifting. Like a ray of sunshine...

This is just a little glimmer of hope before things get really bad this Fall. Did I mention I plan on going short in my investment portfolio sometime between August 19th-21st. For people that don't know anything about the stock market going "Short" means that you think the market will go down!!!

I can add another alliteration to your list...

Sry CharlotteCharlotte if I don't Short my portfolio on your advice but considering your portfolio is probably made up mostly of unemployment funds I think I'll be able to live with this decision.
Market's been moving in the right direction, job cuts are slowing and people are buying houses, certainly not a trend at this point but it's still better then we were two months ago.

Three months from now you are going to wish 100% of your portfolio was invested in short securities(stocks).

LMAO! That was funny.
On a serious note, I've got quite a few friends who were laid off, and all recently got jobs. It was like a wave, six friends who all got jobs within the past two weeks. Some were called back from being laid off by the big banks, others finally found something elsewhere after looking forever. Hopefully things are starting to turn.
I read that article and the only statistic that I can find is where 5,097 people filed for unemployment benefits, for the first time, in July compared to 5844 in June. Doesn't say anything about the people who are filing for the 2nd 3rd 4th and so forth or who moved and didn't file at all.
Since the topic was pre-loaded with a bunch of name calling for anyone who doesn't get rays of hope from the simplistic light weight reporting in the Observer, I guess I should stop here.

See, I knew there would be someone.
