Random headlines

Sometimes, the news inadvertently reports itself. Adjacent stories in my RSS feed this morning:

US comes in 2nd in competitiveness poll[*1] (we had been first>

Dollar hits low for year as gold breaches $1,000[*2]

“Sluggish” hiring outlook[*3]

Stocks open higher amid optimism over recovery[*4]

These, taken together, to me still indicates that it’s a “sucker’s rally.”
