What's worse than warning the world in advance about bad news like this? Not warning the world. Talking up a good situation and then having to report - after the fact, when it is too self evident to do any freaking thing about it - on a new reality that falls pretty freakin' short of all that 'optimistic and uncritical' speculation.
A global sell-off pushes world stocks to five-month low

LONDON - A global sell-off knocked world shares to a five-month low today as surging oil fanned concerns about inflation and slowing growth, ahead of an expected euro zone interest rate hike and a key US jobs report.
The gloom was all-pervasive, with Tokyo stocks setting their longest losing streak in more than half a century while the dollar hit a two-month low against the euro. |
