Spot The Trend In US Durable Goods And CapEx Spending
Today's headline Durable Goods number came, largely as expected, solidly positive. After all, following last month's revised -5.9% sequential collapse, there was only one it could go. However, even so the broad number was largely driven by the usual volatile series: transportation and defense spending. On the other hand, the picture om pure Capital Spending land was mixed, with Cap Goods orders non-defense ex aircraft beating expectations of a 0.5% print at 1.2%, while Shipments missed, dropping from +0.5% to -1.5% and missing expectations of a -0.5% print. There is one big caveat: as usual, April always has been a big down month on a not seasonally adjusted basis. Which means the headline scanning algos were more focused on the ARIMA X 12 adjustments than the underlying data.
So in order to crystalize the underlying trends, we have present the four key data series in a simple year over year basis. The trend is very clear.

Why do we keep talking about "Ex-Defense"?
The GWOT will go on forever; ergo, prosperity will continue indefinitely.
As long as we develop a better way to destroy the f'k out of everyone else, they'll keep funding our bar tab!

Someday this war is gonna end!
Tyler, I figured out what you've been doing wrong all this time - turn your monitor UPSIDE DOWN like everyone else does and everything will be fine!
Don't fight the borg!
I keep trying to turn over the graph, but it keeps orienting with the monitor. I cannot get it to stop. I am dizzy now.
"The trend is very clear."
Oh wait I know, BULLISH right?
of course, all that resistance to levitation will clearly result in a high momentum breakout! place your bets, all in?
How does weaponry, our economic staple, benefit from the Small Arms Treaty? Will we have to increase exportation of Large Arms?
Our future is so bright, it almost looks like a nuclear explosion...
B2u, you just need to drink more alcohol, maybe a fifth a day, and everything will be fine - trust me
in a mushroom cloud. Count on it.
We need a war on obesity. There are too many fat people in this country. Too much money has been wasted on them. They should face two choices: lose weight or go into the gas chamber.
It's funny you said that. I went to my daughters eighth grade graduation yesterday, and everywhere I looked where some fat assed people. I was leery of sitting on the bleachers thinking that the lard asses would collapse them.
That shit is raciss yo! You banned! Or is it "Size-ist"?
You banned! I'm banned! Everybody be banned! Attica! Attica!
Yeah, and who is to decide who's to live and who's to die? Lean people like you, or what? Go home! The last try didn't end so well about 70 years ago. Are you aware that you would perish in exactly the same gas chamber very fast? Because you may not be obese, but trust me, they would find some reason to murder you, too, in no time. You obviously haven't the slightest clue what you are talking about ...
I have zero problem with overweight people, I have a problem with my health insurance premium. So, in a way, I guess I do have a problem...
The problem with Eigen, is he still has not figured out what happens when we declare war on something.
I understand. But being german and a few years older I react quite allergic to any mention of gas chambers. I've been there, saw it with my own lying eyes, and I am ashamed of it, even if I weren't alive when it happened. And you can believe me that those murderers Eigen seems to admire so much would have had him disappeare very quickly. Through a chimney ... (By way of exception this is no sarc.)
edit: obviously some anonymous downvoting buttfuckers believe I shouldn't have trusted my own lying eyes. Come on, you suckers, put up some arguments, I dare you!
The gas chambers were for de-licing, not for killing people. Do some research.
Didn't you read my comment above? I've been there myself! Have seen it with my own lying eyes. And not just at one single place. If the chambers were not for killing - what were the ovens for? Maybe it's not me who should do some more research ... and don't try to tell me that my grandpa, who was there at the time as a soldier in the "Wehrmacht" has told me all lies, and there was no one killed ...
So you saw gas chambers and someone told you they were used to kill people and that's the end of it? And you saw some ovens while someone told you they were used to cremate thousands of people a day, even though that would have been impossible because of the time and coal requirements, and that's the end of that too?
So, what happen to the 6 million Jewish peoples who turned up missing in Europe after WW2????
Hmmm.. were could they have gone??? <sarc>
I know, they never existed to start off with, it is all made up!<sarc>
Seriously, is this possible? I didn't witness these events with my own "lying eyes", so yes your argument/reasoning is "possible".
However, given the weight of the historical evidence (number of eye witness, data the Germans collect and kept on the Jews they killed, and the physical evidence of the engineering drawings and camps, plus the mass graves) your argument/reasoning has a very low PROBABILITY of being accurate.
You tell me. It was originally claimed by the hoaxers that 4 million of the so-called 6 million died in Aucshwitz, now they say 1 million died at Auschwitz but the hoaxers still claim the 6 million total. And who told you 6 million jews turned up missing after the war? Did you research that?
All of this goes back to one simple fucking rule; everyone should suffer the consequences for their own bad behavior. Why in the hell should people who make good decisions regarding their health pay for those who don't? Not sustainable, crash this motherfucker already, the sooner we do the sooner we can sort it all out. In the meantime, everything will continue to "beat expectations" all the way down...
I agree that everyone should face the consequences of their own behaviour. But I can't imagine why said consequence should be being put into a gas chamber by someone else. That's plain murder and does not make anyone healthier.
Where do I say anything about a "gas chamber" asshole? I believe in the individual, eigenvalue is an idiot and another individual altogether. Let me guess another sheep for the collective bullshit mentality. Go fuck yourself.
LOP, take it easy dude. I like your comments, but geeezzzz, you have a hair trigger temper....
edit: At first glance I was very angry about you calling me asshole, and answered accordingly. But now, coming to think of it, I regard that as a misunderstanding. I should have made clear, that the "gas-chamber" part of my comment was dedicated to Eigenvalue, not you. Nonetheless you shouldn't instantly insult me. And just for the record: I despise the "collective bullshit mentality" at least as much as you do. I cannot bar you from thinking of me as a sheep - but I strongly disagree on that.
This is the fundamental problem with people today, they insult another individual (claiming they don't understand why), then act "suprised" by getting insulted in return. Apology accepted. Seems to me the more "politically correct" the world becomes the more "morally corrupt" it is. Sad. Kids need to put down the electronic shit and start dealing with each other face-to-face, this is a huge part of the problem.
Cripes, lighten up. I read it that the guy was referring to eiginvalid, even if the paragraph subordination was off.
Michelle?
C'mere wee man, I'm gonna eat ya!
Oh, so it's all bullshit, only orders, but no shipments.
Carry on.
"Someday this war is gonna end!"
You're ABSOLUTELY RIGHT !!!
Good thing too.....the next one is RIGHT around the corner.....in 3...2...1...
One of the BEST lines from a movie full of great lines! Where's Big Duke Six?
Firearms must not qualify as a durable good.
"... Non Defense ..."
We're just taking a little break. For about a generation or two.
Data? The only thing that matters is the du jour sound bite and whichever algos are responding to it.
Wait, I know...a gigantic inverse head-and-shoulders pattern?
BOOYAH!
The trend is downward until it hits negative territory, then the trend becomes "make numbers up so that we get above 0%" then rinse, wash, repeat.

Damn, I hate it when Tyler gives us a test. Ummm, let me get back to you on that one.
Once they readjust the GDP back to 1929....and sprinkle in some promises to buy things - all will be fine.
Well...Okay...So this is the Durable Goods and CapEx for Amerika...Where is the report for the Utopian world of Cramerica, where credible leadership reigns?
OT and chilling news item from Britian:
"09.45 Two men have been released on bail following their arrest for making alleged offensive comments on Twitter about the death of Lee Rigby.
A 23-year-old and a 22-year-old, both from Bristol, were held under the Public Order Act on suspicion of inciting racial or religious hatred after police received complaints about comments posted on the social networking site."

Since the holding company for ZH is based in London, perhaps folks should cut the Tylers some slack for their recent rules regarding comments here.
I've been gone for awhile and had no idea there were recent rules on ZH. Rules on what?

I respect Tyler if he wants to keep things civil, after all this is a site about the financial system. Still, race does intersect with the financial system in important ways.
I suppose we're just going to have to go to amren, stormfront, and related sites to comment on this.

Regardless of what the ADL says, racism is not the same as speaking the truth. Racism is throwing all of a race into a pot of evil because of a few bad souls. Know your enemy.
I didn't know anything about that. At the bottom of the page it reads

These new rules really only apply to ONE tribe..............I see the same people here on this forum spewing racist comment about other groups of humans, but nothing ever happens to them.......so there is one set of RULES for one TRIBE and another set for the ROW.........

So Tyler has added the ninth rule to the fight club.
Censoring is a very slippery slope, it doesn't stop people from thinking those thoughts.. Censoring removes the platform for people to confront the thought processes behind the "racial discrimination" that DOES EXIST in our society.
You drive it underground, cover it up, were it festers and boils and eventually erupts......
Censoring is a two edge sword and cuts both ways.
There have been many papers and discussions regarding Censorship and Critical Thinking. You Censor because you assume that the reader lacks the ability to Think Critically. And perhaps in our culture given the state of our education system, many people do not possess the ability to think critically.... hence this is necessary.....????

The trend is DOWN. Market participants are getting nervous. Everyone knows frontrunning the Fed is the only game in town, and when that ends it's going to get ugly real fast. No one wants to be the last one out.
No one wants to be the last one period.
Actually when Benny goes from 80/month to 120 per month, there will be a melt your face short squeeze.......

Durable goods, that's pretty funny when you live in the land of throw away. Which Chinese trinkets are durable exactly?

We used to sell our trash to China. Its just a matter of getting their own back.
Yea, and who got wise to that?
Calisthenics anyone?
Ha! ... yeah, kinda noticed than a long time back, it's all got the same basic shape and multi-year trend ... headed into the septic tank ... for quite a long dip.
Durable goods....cap ex.....so passe, so quaint.......welcome to the new virtual economy which is now enjoying a massive virtual recovery clearly indicated by the market.
OT: apparently the muzombies have been at it again.
