A bullish signal, and other interesting asides

6 charts on hiring, candy-costume shopping, buybacks and dilution, Europe's shame, and CO2/Capita

There was no wifi on my flight last night, so I needed a little extra time to finish this up for today. Call it a lunchtime post.

Behold, a small handful of random charts and observations, to take or leave:

• bullish hiring signals

• Halloween bonanza

• of buyback concentration and the coming dilution

• Europe’s (latest) shame

• running on empty (and CO2/capita progress)
