Bloomberg managing to see a sign of recovery in almost everything today. 

Love how they conveniently dont mention the massive POMO in July after this headline, "Anything-But-Treasuries Credit Gaining After AIG Ruin", http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aCZ5T8_MwuOA 

or how about this one where analysts have been so tremendously correct and are totally unconflicted in every way, "Stocks Show Why Analysts Dismiss Economists on Growth", http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aKcioT31yV_E

There was an awesome one titled, "Elkhart's RV Rebound May Show Recession Exit as Travel Trailer Sales Rise", which doesnt really give any actual proof of a rebound, just that it "should" rebound in '10.  They seem to have takent that link down.

Or how about this, a drop in MoM industrial output, that fell well below analyst expecations, is viewed "as a sign the recovery may be more gradual". http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601110&sid=aRGJ8we0TGDQ

 

most excellent.  Rally on, dudes.

Ha!  Anyone think RV sales may be up because people can't carry a mortgage payment?  It would be nice to see stats on the size of the trailer/mobile home park populations.

A campground caretaker said if they’d pay him $100 for 10 months they could have the “silver bullet” camper he was using for storage, a home they’ve now decorated with lush flowers, tomatoes, and even an apple tree planted in an old pickle barrel.

For more hard-pressed Americans, a campsite is home

Look for GS to start securitizing the next housing boom, maybe a fancy name like "High Grade Mobile Unit Growth Strategies Fund".
