Headlines investors like to read

I understand Financial media..  I understand what sociopathic socioeconomic demographics they cater to and I understand that their entire reason for existing is to keep pushing a very Hard-Sell of 'investing'.   In other words, the frantic mindset that no matter the economic reality, you must always be investing..  keep moving your money from A to B to Z-- money must always be making money, keep expanding and diversifying your portfolio, tragedy and suffering are golden investing opportunities, and other mantras.

So anyways, I went on MarketWatch.com this evening.  The following are all real headlines as of 12:45a EST.. see if you can find the common thread...
