i get a kick out of how daily the headline wording rarely matches the numbers shown .

this mornings headline is stocks trade down on trade fears .

yet the numbers at this time show up 60 points .

they really need to change the headlines more frequently to match. sometime they are just so out of sync they look foolish .

The headlines really are comical sometimes. And every couple of hours they have to come up with some new reason for the last move. It’s just silly.

The bond yields are falling faster today than anyone can physically write the headlines. As soon as the headline hits the news page, the numbers have already fallen much lower. I'm not complaining, because I am heavy on intermediate term bond funds and they have done very good this year. After two near flat years, it has been an unexpected big boost. If you asked me a few months ago if the 10 yr yield was going to get way below 2 percent anytime soon, I would have said, don't hold your breath for it.

What you do not understand is that the reporters write the headlines the day before and the editor puts in the work up or down. They may not get it correct most of the time.

It is accurate at the time the headline was written. I just simply look at the market at the moment knowing the headline can be very misleading. Watching the show live even they pick up on the volatility on days it is roaring.

i am not referring to articles ... you will see a blurb like markets down 100 on trade fear , and the numbers reflect green . the description of that days action lags the actual action by a lot of time many days .
