Freakonomics

I'm a fan of the book Freakonomics. The authors started a blog after writing the book in order to continue the conversation on a daily basis. It became so popular that the NY Times bought it! One of today's articles discusses how reporters react to the stock market and make unproven claims about its ebb and flow. Here's my favorite line:

"Here are a couple of stock-market headlines I’d love to read one day:

“Stocks Surge, Reasons Unknown; May Be Nothing More Than the Random Fluctuation of a Complex System”"
