Los Angeles Times Business News Headlines: Dow Falling, Jay and Conan Switching Air Times and Exec’s Affair. — January 24, 2010
The Los Angeles Times Business News (January 23, 2010) spotlighted Two (2) major headlines in its Business Section;
1. “Dow posts triple-digit loss again”
and
2. Conan makes way for Jay.”
The third major headline (not on the top of the page, however) was “Signs Point to Exec’s Affair.”
eGrumps says; “That says it all as to why the newspapers are declining : A headline about two TV comics, an executive having an affair (what’s new about that?) and a major decline in the Dow average. No wonder the Times circulation is falling through the floor – people who want to read about Dow financial info are not going to buy the LA Times, people who are interested in Conan and Jay (assuming some of you know who they are and their importance in then grand business scheme of things) aren’t going to buy the LA Times, and people who are interested in an executive’s amorous affairs aren’t going to buy the LA Times.”
I assume there is no correlation between the Dow falling, Jay and Conan switching air times, and the exec’s affair. If there is, I take it all back and the LA Times gets the eGrumps Business Award of the Year for unearthing a story on which no other media outlet has commented. If there is a correlation, then I suggest Jay and Conan should switch back, the exec should continue his affair — and all of us should go long the Dow. (But as the SEC warning goes, past performance is no guarantee of future performance)
