Great Woody Times
23 January 2004
EVIL WOODY CITY-Investors celebrated an improving economy by driving up the Evil Woody stock market to record highs as the nation's most prominent economists classified the nation's economy as "frightening." The Evil Woody Stock Index shattered records for biggest one-day point gain, one-day percentage gain, and hit its all-time high of 11,260, all in one market session. It gained 436 points today, on strong earnings from telemarketing and door-to-door sales conglomerates; defense stocks also rallied as Parliament approved the nation's first $3 trillion defense budget. The rally was strong enough to end what had been a flat stock market, giving stocks across the board a 4.0% pick-me-up.
Investors quickly threw an improvised ticker-tape parade on downtown streets; a few even threw wads of cash in the air in wild celebration, leaving it for passersby to claim. City janitors are expected to do well this year if they are assigned to the downtown cleanup.
Economists are forecasting 6.1% annualized GDP growth for this year, but a few economists are hinting that they might raise expectations.
(OOC: Do you have any idea HOW FRIGGIN HARD it was to get the "Frightening" economy rating? I've only been trying for two RL months now. :D )
