The front page of today's Wall Street Journal featured the following headlines:
Largest Bold Text: Bill Gates Issues Call for Kinder Capitalism (positive)
Large Bold Text: Stocks Reverse Early Losses, Close Up 2.5% (positive)
Large Bold Text: Developing Economies Face Reckoning as U.S. Stumbles (U.S. still the powerhouse)
Top of the Page Teasers: Is It Too Late To Resuscitate the Economy? (wait and see)
Not Buying It: Downturn Hits Upscale Retail (negative)
Housing Bust Makes a Move to More Places (negative)
At the bottom of page one under TODAY'S AGENDA a small article appeared with the following headline: For Existing-Home Sales, A Slight Fall is Good News. The tiny article went on to state existing-home sales are expected to have fallen slightly in December after a rise in November....Realtors have been encouraged by relatively stable sales in recent months.
That's good news, but the consumer has to read past a lot of negative headlines to find it.
