August 27, 2008, I predicted success for True Blood, HBO's series about vampires coming out of the closet. Sure enough it is avearging 6.8M viewers sunday nights. I observed this was a predictable socinomic trend, people turning to the dark side. While some of you have wondered on the blog if this was true, well click to read about the success of the series.
Meanwhile, the LIBOR lending rates are down but so are bank stock prices. CITI dropped below $9 today. the Treasury is not having much luck improving things. Expect that the markets will get worse, which is a reflection of attitudes.
I didnt care for that show at all...I started watching it with one of my friends, she loved it and I hated it. I thought it was too wierd. It is hard for so many people to fall to the darkside in rough times. I think it is so sad that so many people are taking their lives because of the economy.

I have not read of an increase in suicides. But it is not HARD for poeple to fall to the dark side. The mood turned months ago, we are now seeing reactions to it now in shows such as this. By the way, HBO was looking for a follow up to the highly successful Sopranos, that show was surely looking forward to what is happening now and has its roots in the original godfather that came out in 1972 as the market started to tank.
