If the economy's stagnant, why are stocks up? The answer is disturbing.

Wed, 4 Nov 2009 07:03:21 +0000

Here's a puzzle: The stock markets are doing very well, yet the performance of the underlying economy doesn't seem to justify optimism. The buoyant S&P 500 has risen 53 percent since the March bottom . And while the economy expanded at a 3.5 percent rate in the third quarter , unemployment is ...
