Them NEW expressions.

Friday, August 18, 2006

I really like Martin Goldberg's commnets on them New expressions mentioned in his Market Wrap.

Finally, the “New” expression… You know, “age 40 is the new 30.” “Oil at $70 per barrel is the new $50.”

Here are a few more "New” expressions.

  • Cisco is the new Radio Corp.
    Buybacks are the new dividends.
    A P/E of 20 is the new 10.
    The iPod is the new Walkman, is the new 8-track is the new reel to reel.
    Middle class is the new poor.
    The corporate-owned press is the new independent press.
    Greenspan is the new John Law.
    Bernanke is the new Greenspan.
    Regarding dividends, 1.5% is the new 3%.
    Speculation is the new investment.
    Debt is the new savings (so is home equity)
    Wal-Mart is the new Woolworths.
    General Motors is the new Chrysler.
    Toyota is the new General Motors. (The Camry is the new Impala.)
    Economic statistics are the new lies.
    Financial engineering is the new research and development.
    ……………. is the new Enron.
    World domination is the new world peace.

How true eh?

The brand NEW world.
