Seems it's getting better

I guess the economy really is getting better.

Why, you say?

Well, some of the "perma-bears" are closing their blogs.  Others are slowly disappearing.

Also, it seems some of the writers of self published SHTF and The End Of The World As We Know It (TEOTWAWKI) novels are also folding their tents.  I suspect some now have jobs and their heart isn't in it any more.

Whatever the case, at least the USA economy seems to be picking up.

As far as Europe goes  --  all bets are off.
