Swirlogram Shows Slowdown Is Here
Despite the hopes and greed of the marginal greater fool algo lifting equity markets to highs, Goldman's business cycle 'swirlogram' has dropped notably into the 'Slowdown' phase after a brief 6-month trip into 'Expansion'. China growth risks remain the largest weight on investors' angst (Chinese IP growth and retail sales for the January/February period were sequentially weaker, and overall disappointing) as Euro and US risks have 'apparently' fallen in the last week or two.

Green shoots bitchez.... o wait, slow down?
Eat your peas bitchez!!
I'm down with the swirl.
at last, it's swirled peas.
and not a moment too soon. thank you mr. obama. thank you mr. bush.
I thought I talked to Tyler about this type of graphing.
Ben believes it is the Corriolis force which is caused by the rotation of the earth.
Actually; The global economy.
Circling the drain.
Speeding up as it gets ever closer.

Daddy...what was it like in a peaceful economy before the war?
World economy:
like a post-buffet floater
circling the bowl.
I was looking at a list of various asset class price increases earlier (and it's a short list on a relative basis, and understates the overall appreciation since it's such a short list), and it's pretty clear that The Ben BernaxBux-induced liquidity tsunami has rolled over pretty much the whole globe and driven any and every paper-denominated market to batshit levels of insanity.
I can't find the link right now, but pretty much everything that can be valued via fiat/marked-to-faith-based-toilet-paper is up 100% to 500% in the last 3 years despite the aggregate demand vortex (I'll post it when I find it).
Good luck getting out with your skin attached, Muppets. This won't be just another shearing of wool like 2008 or 2000, but a true Harvest.

The toilet bowl swirl - the shit is being flushed. Bernake stopped it up with printing but the plunger of reality will push, push that turd to the sewerage treatment plant.
"...push, push that turd to the sewerage treatment plant."
And the sheer force of the vacuum created by this implosion will suck the entire house down the drain with it.
Swirlograms, bitchez!
It's the last swirl before it all goes down the drain.
Dynamic droop
BullSHEET!,
We are on the cusp of RECOVERY SUMMER 4!
Someone at ZH must be a raaaaaaaaaaaaycesssssssssssssssssssssss........
Eventually it'll swirl on over to "contraction," pause for a while, then go straight off the chart — back and to the left like JFK's head.
The "oppression" area isn't included.
But, But...
In the southern hemisphere, countries swirl counterclockwise.
Coriolis effect, bItCHeZ!
No chance of a recession because this time it really is different: We got free money as far as the eye can see.
How can GDP, measured in dollars, ever decrease in an economy where 85 billion dollars are being printed and injected into the economy EVERY MONTH?!
because GDP shrunk by 86 billion last month?
GDP is reported quarterly I believe. The 4th Q 2012 that was initialy reported as -0.1 was revised to +0.1 on Feb 28th.

Well it can - if it is shrinking by more than 85 bln $ per month. Or if (when?) trust in this currency evaporates.
OK, I should not have said "no" chance. My point is really that is seems very, very, unlikely that a recession can occur with Ben's foot flat to the floor with ZIRP and QE.
But if it does occur, all bets are off! What will save us then? Negative rates? Even more money creation? Or would it be best to give up the game and let reality return to sort things out? Don't count on that; they fear reality for it has become unacceptable to TPTB, imo.
Bullish! Isn't everything?
The election is over, so "Mission Accomplished".
F'k GS
This is the radar plot of the "Airship of State" in a flat spin. Turn off your portable electronic devices, return to your seats and brace for impact.
Typical treasure map: go great distances and circle back close to where you started.
I see that same pattern as floaters circle around the toilet bowl.
That chart looks like my shit swirling down the toilet. (With dates and everything)
Imam: Have you heard anything I've said?
Richard B. Riddick: You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?
Imam: That's right.
Richard B. Riddick: Had to end sometime.

Interesting. Compared to the swirlogram in November, they've significantly revised August through November's numbers to the plus side. (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2012-11-15/goldmans-swirlogram-confirms-ec...)
Does their indicator really have a 4 month lag time?
