Why is it Hydroshock always post doom and gloom stories?

Because if you post the same thing every day, eventually something will happen to “prove” you right.

Also, if you post inconsistent doom theories, one will be right.

Examples:

1. A “credit crunch” is predicted next year as billions in Christmas charges come due. (We’re doomed).

2. This Christmas shopping season is predicted to be a bust as millions cut back on spending. (We’re doomed).

Both predictions provide plenty of scary mileage in the short term, and there’s a chance one of them (though not both) can be right.

It’s a slam dunk!

Ummm....because it's reality staring at us?

Buying plywood before a hurricane doesn't mean you are pro-hurricane. And ignoring storm warnings doesn't mean you are doing all you can to prevent storm damage, through the power of positive thinking.

Never mind, put your glasses back on. Everything is just great!

>>Why is it Hydroshock always post doom and gloom stories?<<

It is partly because, regardless of your political afiliation, they are the most believeable, and interesting.

I’ve read some positive stories over the last few months and they sound like apologists or are doing obvious gymnastics with numbers.

The real news right now IS primarily doom and gloom.

Your question is like someone on DU askingwhy someone keeps posting bad articles about Hillary. Sometimes that is just where the truth lies.

I prefer to think of Hydroshock's posts as a dose of reality.

Sorry if it bursts your bubbles...

Hydroshock doesn’t post only doom and gloom stories. He posts stories about housing, the markets and economy, and there isn’t much good news to report since the housing bubble burst and the liquidity crisis began, which is now affecting the real economy.

I appreciate his posts. He is not the one responsible for creating these problems.
