  • The Market Takes a Cue from Seinfeld
    June 9, 2020- as published on Forbes.com The Opposite: The Market Takes A Cue From Seinfeld Robert Barone Contributor Great Speculations Contributor Group The Opposite In one of the 1990s Seinfeld episodes known as “The Opposite,” George Costanza decides to make decisions opposite of what his “normal” instincts would tell him to do. The results of his “opposite” actions were a beautiful girlfriend, a standing ovation, and a job with the N.Y. Yankees! Today’s equity market seems to be behaving similar to George, choosing to do the “opposite” of what one would normally expect from the condition of the economy, political/social events, the labor market, and corporate revenues and profits. The table chronicles some of these: The rise in equity prices appear to be based on the mistaken view that we are in a “V”-shaped Recovery and if that proves not to be the case, the Fed has the markets’ back. In addition, the market is looking at the 2nd derivative, i.e., 1.9 million Initial Claims week of 5/30 is better than 2.1 million the prior week. While true, the economy is still contracting, just not as fast. With this kind of thinking, “The Opposite” may continue a while longer. The problem is that when rationality returns, and it will, the bottom could be a significant double-digit percentage lower. Meanwhile, Enjoy! Employment – A Pleasant Surprise, But Still Dire The big news of the week occurred on Friday, June 5th. The U-3 unemployment rate fell to 13.3% (16.3%) from 14.7% (19.7%).

    Socialization, Sexuality, and Innocence in The Catcher in the Rye Eero Helenius University of Tampere School of Language, Translation and Literary Studies English Philology Master’s Thesis May 2014 Tampereen yliopisto Englantilainen filologia Kieli-, käännös- ja kirjallisuustieteiden laitos HELENIUS, EERO: Socialization, Sexuality, and Innocence in The Catcher in the Rye Pro gradu -tutkielma, 88 sivua Kevät 2014 J.D. Salingerin 1951 julkaistu romaani The Catcher in the Rye (suom. Sieppari ruispellossa) on yksi kaikkien aikojen myydyimpiä kirjoja. Kirjassa sen päähenkilö, 16-vuotias Holden Caulfield, kertoo lukijoilleen siitä, mitä hänelle tapahtuu hänen paettuaan eräästä yksityiskoulusta vi- ikonlopuksi New Yorkiin kun hänet on erotettu koulusta huonon koulumenestyksen vuoksi. Vuonna 1950 julkaistiin sosiologi David Riesmanin teos The Lonely Crowd (suom. Yksinäinen väk- ijoukko). Kirjassa Riesman esittelee kolme historiallista luonnetyyppiä: perinneohjautuvan, sisältäohjautuvan, sekä ulkoaohjautuvan tyypin. Lisäksi hän listaa kolme niin sanottua univer- saalia luonnetyyppiä: mukautuneen, itsenäisen, sekä anomisen luonnetyypin. Tutkielmassa käydään läpi Riesmanin kaikki kuusi luonnetyyppiä sekä niihin liittyviä muita teorioita ja todetaan, että luonnetyypeistä kaikki ovat selkeästi edustettuina Salingerin ro- maanissa. Tämä osoittaa osaltaan, että Salingerin ja Riesmanin teokset ovat paitsi otollisia ku- via oman aikansa yhteiskunnasta, niin myös sen, että Riesmanin teoriat soveltuvat paitsi sosi- ologiseen niin myös kirjallisuustieteelliseen
