Permawrong (Permaright)

“Permabull” has been cited in print since at least 1994 and “permabear” since at least 1995. It’s been said that the permabears and permabulls can be “permawrong” or “permaright” (permanently wrong or right).
 
“Permawrong” has been cited in print since at least 2009. “Permaright” (less frequently used) has been used since 2010.

A Must Read by Zerohedge
September 15, 2010
The following must read presentation by Wolfe Trahan puts every last piece of the economic puzzle together, confirming there is no other outcome but an economic crunch, affectionately known elsewhere in the MSM as a Double Dip. It gives you all you need to know when confronted with the nattering nabobs of neanderthalism, most of whom tend to reside on CNBC. Feel free to do a side by side comparison of this presentation with that put together by Russell Napier earlier, and decide on your own, which one you believe is far more credible. Yet its greatest value-added is the thorough discrediting of the three chief classes of permawrong prognosticators: sell side analysts, company management and economists.
