Maybe You Can Pick One Up Cheap Along With The Aeron Chairs At The Liquidation Sale

The most unusual economic indicator yet: You may be able to foretell a collapse of the tech bubble by a reduction in the number of ping-pong tables being sold in Silicon Valley and San Francisco. Every tech company needs a ping-pong table to distract the poor drones working there and make them think that they're working for a progressive, "cool" company. Twitter alone was ordering ping-pong tables on a regular basis until late 2014, then completely and without explanation stopped. Sales of ping-pong (and foosball) tables seem to track tech economic trends. And you can even tell how individual companies are doing this way: Google is buying a lot, so they're doing well. Yahoo!, not so much. But pro investors warn not to buy stock based on ping-pong sales, so there's that. (Wall Street Journal)
