In my daily trawling through the market I come upon lots of tidbits of knowledge that I think are important to investors but that don’t justify a full post. I’ve decided to start compiling these notes here each day in a kind of running mini blog that I’m calling Notes You Need. A typical blog post resembles this one from today: “12:20 p.m.: The Japanese government has reported that the country’s economy grew by 0.6% in the third quarter from the second quarter. That brings year over year growth to 2.5%. Economists had expected year over year growth of 1.5%. A 2.5% growth rate for Japan is stunningly high. At this point a year ago the economy was growing at a 1.4% rate.”
