One Of These Is The "Real" Economy

It seems some among the mainstream media believe "the economy is improving." In the interests of clearing up that little misunderstanding, we hope the following chart will clarify which "economy" is improving...

 

 

Chart: Bloomberg

No one in the main stream media believe the economy is improving. It's just difficult to begin and end msm segments with guys in suits laughing hysterically while screaming "Fuck you middle class!!!"

Selling or going to cash was not the right thing to do during the Weimar period. Buyibg stocks only cost you a little over 50% of purchasing power (if you bought stocks in companies that survived.)

Gold was best.

Being a foreigner was good to as long as you had dollars. This time around only gold looks good to me.

As long as the currency holds up and the derivative market is intact we are probably going to see the price continue to fall though.

GLD still has 841 tons left so it could be a while.

Well if you watch TV or Hollywood's shit then you support it.  Save me the argument that Fox News is any good. It is all crap.  You monthly cable and satellite TV bill is split up so you are supporting all of them.

Americans traded liberty for a clicker and ball games. Idiots.

The economy must be doing great! Look at how many high paying jobs there are for people to create charts like the one above that show the opposite of what the MSM tells us!

The middle class was only a mirage.  They turned out to be just heavily leveraged poor people.

The economy died in 2008 , all thats left is the body snatchers of Wall Street.

Ahmmm... a dumb question but... what does the real economy have to do with the S&P ?

I can only think that as the real economy softens the Fed just keeps the QE pedal to the metal.

The graph is correct because it reflects the power of printing, manipulation and favoritism towards a small section of the populace.

Would be nice to see a graph combining the above two factors, plus the size of the Fed's balance sheet. Would show a compelling picture to those who still need help seeing the charade....

....and now for another unbelievable feat of legerdemain we will raise yields on bonds in a declining economy to chase the money into the s&p incredibly inflating the balloon beyond the popping point to defy gravity.

 

shit and fans are now outlawed by fed decree.

So to reach parody, the S&P will have to drop to 900.... that will make for some brown stinky shorts on some people.

Could you shut the fuck up about your correlation between the real economy and the stock market.  for the hundredth fucking time here Doome Boomer Douche Bags:

when the economy gets going the inflation is unleashed because the printed dollars are then circulating onto Main Street.  Don't fight the Fed then works in reverse... and they fight inflation (and you same tools protest all the way down and say, "why is the market down when the real economy is so good".

What's fucked right now is that those greedy cunts want out before the economy is ready...  Bond and gold market say taper and as crazy as it sounds they're not manipulated so likely accurate.  money flows into equities are coming in for the leg-breaker trade.

Fuck the poor as they represent the lazy (ok we do have some true misfortunates but not that many) but here comes the bone crusher to the Middle Class.

 

 

Peace out Douche Dogs

If the American education system is so grand, why is the economic and financial information disseminated from the American media so wrong ?
