Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

Did anyone see Bloomberg TV post the Consumer Confidence chart at 76 at 9:45 AM EST?

I snapped on Bloomberg TV this morning to see what the Consumer Confidence numbers will be and 15 minutes before the Consumer Confidence numbers are supposed to come out they post this green bar chart that had the July bar at 76 but they're talking about an 85 expectation.

I almost traded on this because I thought for sure that was going to be the real number and they posted their chart too early which in fact is what they did. It's not the first time they have done this either so it may be profitable to watch them right before eco data comes out to see if they make another mistake and trade on it?

What is interesting is that means outfits like Bloomberg have this data far earlier than the rest of us. For some reason, that doesn't seeem right.
