Is the economy on an uptick? Something very unusual happened this week - or I should say something didn't happen that has been happening a lot lately. I have noted for the past several months that with each mailing of the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE newsletter, I got back from 1 to 4 "returns" from corporate websites indicating that the e-mail address was no longer valid - meaning the person was no longer employed at that firm. But the past two issues, no such returns! I note that the stock market also seemed to be making a bit of a recovery for the past two days (let's see if that holds up today). I will keep an eye on this phenomenon for the next to issues and report back.
