A Sign of Recovery? Tip of the Week
Pundits, economists and politicians have been looking for signs of an economic recovery. Almost every day, someone has a new take one a good sign or a bad sign. I spotted a good one yesterday.
Four strokes behind at the beginning of round four, Tiger Woods came back to win his fourth Memorial Tournament in Columbus, Ohio, stroking birdies on the final two holes. It was vintage Tiger at a time when some were wondering if Tiger had really recovered from his surgery or if Tiger were beginning to fade. Tiger answered clearly in Columbus, “yes” and “no.”
You may be saying that I’ve become desperate for signs of economic recovery by pointing to a Tiger Woods golf win. I confess that I’m desperate, but pinning my hopes on Tiger Woods makes as much sense as the psychobabble we’re fed 24/7 by the same experts who failed to warn us that a recession was coming.
I’m hitching my wagon to Tiger’s star. He’s talented. He works as hard as anyone I’ve ever heard about. He never gives up. If he’s back, then I say the economy is on its way back, and that’s good news for all employers and employees.
