Fortune and CNN are nepotistic bed buddies, so it's from Fortune, that market and economic prognosticator par excellence. They should supplement this hopeful article with op/ed pieces by Larry Kudlow, Abby Joseph Cohen, Robert Zuccaro and James Glassman. /sarcasm
WTF are green shoots, last week the phrase didn't exist, since monday I have heard the word about 249 times. Who the Fu$k comes up with these pathetic phrases and links them to wallstreet.
Green chutes are what Kudlow sees when he's on a coke bender. He also sees Goldilocks prancing around his office in high heels and a miniskirt, that warped sicko.
On CNBC it went like this. First there was the Goldilocks economy. Well Goldilocks died and is buried. Next came mustard seeds, which turned out to Kudlow's pot seeds. Now we have green shoots, which is nothing but an Obama chia pet. I emailed CNBC once to tell Kudlow he should plant his mustard seeds on Goldilocks' grave, as she would make good fertilizer.
I can remember years ago when the cover story on Business Week was a garanteed fade. Maybe CNN/Fortune has filled the void.
You obviously don't TRADE for a living. If you did, you wouldn't have your TV set to CNBC all day long . . . Instead, you would be looking at charts and price levels.
