Welcome to the start of a new feature for enrolled members called the Martenson Insider. We are pleased to offer this new enrolled benefit, which replaces the In Session forum threads with a blog-style format that will support easier access, viewing, searching, and comment-threading beneath each post.
I’ve granted full access to today’s postings for everyone to see, which includes all comments, by the way. After today, the content and comments will be only viewable by enrolled members (unless I grant access for a given posting, and then everything will be viewable for that post).
Here’s the first post of the day:
Trust Actions, Not Words
The "green shoots" idea is trotted out in Europe, especially in the UK, just like it is in the US. The purpose is to use words and statistics to try and convince everyone that "we’ve turned the corner."
While admirable, it is also a source of amusement to those paying attention. Here we might note the humorous gap between what they are saying and what they are doing.
Check out the next two articles from yesterday (8/5/09), which contain the words, and then compare them to the third article, which has the actions.
