  • 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%).

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

  • Seinfeld and Philosophy: a Book About Nothing Edited by William Irwin Open Court, 1999 $17.95, Paperback
    STJHUMRev Vol. 1-1 1 Seinfeld and Philosophy: A Book About Nothing Edited By William Irwin Open Court, 1999 $17.95, paperback The Simpsons and Philosophy: The D’oh of Homer Edited By William Irwin, Mark T. Conrad, and Aeon J. Skoble Open Court, 2001 $17.95, paperback Reviewed by Melissa Lonquich Seinfeld and Philosophy In his recent book, Seinfeld and Philosophy, Dr. William Irwin cleverly pieces together a collection of articles showing the similarities between the sitcom Seinfeld and philosophy. This impressive volume sets forth a new way of looking at this all around funny show; it is not only amusing but also informative. It is written in such a way that both the advanced philosopher as well as the serious Seinfeld fanatic can gain some insight into the complexity that is Seinfeld. When thinking about the characters of this show, we typically think about their actions to describe them. Jerry is always thought of as the neat- freak comic that changes girlfriends like most people change socks. George is the stocky bald man that always sees himself as a loser and gets stuck in bad situations continually. Elaine is a typical "mans’ woman" as Kramer would say. She fits in with the boys much better than she ever would with other women, and trails in second to Jerry with the amount of short-term love interests she has acquired over the life of the show. And of course we have Kramer, who could forget him! Kramer will forever be known as Jerry’s next door neighbor that runs through his door the same way every time, that uses his apartment as if it were his own, but above all as the funny guy with a line for everything, who is always in the middle of a get rich quick scheme.
