The Best Economic Freudian Slip of 2014

January 24, 2014
The stock market correction is finally here

Hammered by weak economic data in Asia, South American turmoil and a stream of weak earnings reports from blue chips like IBM (IBM) and McDonalds (MCD), the S&P 500 (^GSPC) is down sharply for the weak and off more than 1% in 2014.

Emphasis added.

I know it is only the 24th of January but I think we have a winner!

Yeah, I'm taking a risk here.

The Economy Is Doing Bettor Than Expected

US Banks Have Razed More Than Enough Capital

The second part of the that sentence is even more shocking. Off 1% is a correction? I thought a correction was 10%? Expectations are still at the top of Space Needle.

Mr Slippery,

The 1% "corrections" keep adding up. We actually ended up with two of them today.

Why don't we just call it what it is?

Chain Lightning Prosperity!
