Distinguished Order of Miserabilists Update

[Rob Schaap <bantam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

DOOM is signing 'em up by the gaggle.  We have most of the US press on the
strength now; on a day when the Financial Times asks why there's so much 'pro
forma reporting' on finance.

I just can't stop recommending PrudentBear; I've a terrible headache and a bad
case of overworkitis, yet a quick peek at ol' PB always floods me with a
frisson of comparative wellbeing ...

Bloomberg:  Home resales fall 3%
USAT:  Health Insurance Premiums to add to consumer price index;
Houston Chronicle:  Bankruptcies Soar;
NY Post:  Earnings still in free fall;
Dallas Morning News:  Service Sector joins rest of economy on Way Down
and Revised GDP figures likely to come up red, and may affect sentiment;
Detroit FP:  Restaurant earnings down for first time in eleven years;
Boston Globe:  Designated Telecom node real estate 75% undersubscribed
in Boston;
