cram all the criminals on the short yellow cromnibus and drive the fucker off the cliff
Forget the "Goldilocks Economy," we now have the "Schrödinger Economy."
No one is baffled anymore. Everyone is just whistling past the graveyard.
One is about industrial PRODUCTION, the other is about industrial ACTIVITY. No activity, but plenty of production.
See, it all makes sense. They got this, guys. Believe me, they got this.
I'm starting to understand how Obongo transparency works.
It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've bought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let It Burn! Let It Crash! Let It Burn!
Somebody up there has encountered a contradiction. We obviously need a Minitruth to control the dissemination of information, especially that which is contradictory.
In other news, the Chocolate ration went up to 25 grams per week.
ND don't be confusing people with reality, it harshes their buzz.....
Explains why I feel happy and sad at the same time.

You owe me 1/4 cup of coffee....and one computer monitor.
Coffee? Sure! Let me just call that Lindt joint in Sydney. I hear they deliver within 30 minutes or less or it is free! ;-)

Um... no. Definitely too soon.
I dunno...
Maybe the NY area is not doing as well as everywhere else - unless "mfg" is now counted as program stock manipulation.

You are now slowly getting the treatment domestically, that you have been dishing out to others for years. Manipulation, lies, treachery, violence and killing.
You could have resisted, but you didn't.
I feel sorry for the people of America.
I am sure that is the plan many a top dog have for us little cute lemmings. Especially if we show our teeth.
Is there more to the US than New York? Someone thinks not.
It's possible that the rest of the country is doing great while NY has the worst in 2 years. Though we have been brought up to believe that the NY Fed region is representative of the whole country (i.e. strongly correlated). In that case, this is at least a very unexpected result and therefore it's newsworthy to show the 2 (seemingly) contradictory headlines juxtaposed.

"Ramp Capital LLC" scratch them off my list
Maybe NY manufacturing is doing poorly while the rest of the states are doing well? What's baffling about this?
Money manufacturing has temporarily slowed down at the NY Fed.
the measurement of manufacting in the US is done by counting containers of inbound freight at various ports
i shit you not
Exactly. They have sustituted 'manufacturing' for 'distribution'. Massively increased margins. Labor is now 'other' on the 'cost of goods' pie chart. Good work if you can get it, or until the sheep run out of money.
That's the first thing I assumed as well. Can someone explain why this is not the correct interpretation?
Money flowing from DC goes straight into the pockets of NYC. If their numbers are declining, I would take this as a leading indicator.
Fed is into trolling now.
ZH moniker is Amerikan Patriot
That does bring back memories from the MarketWatch days…
Good to see you!
We bullshitted some folks
some?
"Some" = hedonic adjustment for "all"
the gangsters who run the ny fed want moar sweeties
Santa will save us! I just know it ! You just have to believe!
Yep, but you have to squint your eyes and clinch your fists and pull your shoulders in tight, and say it repeatedly...
And click your heels 3 times...
And you have to be good.

recovery / non recovery. For dumbo consumption
the next step after baffle with bullshit is riddle em with bullets
Chief Wiggum: "Nothing to see here people"

Not mutually exclusive Tyler.
I had three contracts cancelled in November.I very rarely have one per 2 years.
Its getting bleak out there in the real economy.
Energy related?
Be better to stop covering stupid shit.
Even CNBC feels like repeating the "Freedom is Slavery" meme:

So... Because NY manufacturing activity is the lowest in 2 years... means the rest of the US as a whole should also be going down?
I understand the contradiction in headlines, but they are different in meaning. I didn't read the articles though...=b
As GM goes, so goes the nation.......er
As oil goes, so goes the nation.......er
As penthouse sales prices go, so goes the nation.........er
New Freedom building is done ,right? That 'splains it.
I (heart) New York?
So, manufacturing surges to the lowest in two years. What is the problem with this headline, other than "some folks" just made a small fortune in the intervening minutes.
Ya gotta love algos,
I love the logo for Ramp Capital
The problem with Big Data is that.....it's too big.
You know, like the corporate communist neoliberal goverments that run the majority of Western Countries.
I am befuddled by the briiliance of their baffling bullshit
3:30 Ramp Capital......what a great name!
It means that filing off the 'made in china' stamp is working as a strategy.
It baffled the dumbass on the other side of my trade.
Thanks!
CNBC will have John Hardwood saying we are seeing an acceleration in growth and than immediately have Rick Santelli on saying we are having a contraction in growth. And no one anchoring says anything about the contradiction.
Head spinz.
all this indicates is a rise in inventories and a slow down in actual sales ?
Article writing algos are just as whacked as trading algos.
Someone is liiiiieeeeee---ing.
SSDD
Record Manufacturing of BS in Washington DC....that was easy!
It could be a surge from month to month but it is still the shittiest it's been for 2 years.
Because the US is the same as NY. Derp.
Clearly, you guys are not yet fluent in newspeak. War is peace, freedom is slavery and up is down.
Useless without context.
LOL, the US doesn't need real manufacturing.
The only manufacturing the US Federal Reserve wants is debt manufacturing. Print 10s of trillions more in debt.
Everyone can go on disability and welfare and the Fed can print trillions more.
Modify the Zimbabwe 100 trillion dollar note and put Ben Bernanke on the front with Janet Yellen on the back.
Also put "In Bill Dudley we Trust" instead of "In God We Trust".
NYC BOOMING
UPSTATE NY EATING TREE BARK...
except for the ones that already sold the mineral rights and are laughing at the price of oil

Use a spellchecker on your homepage (e.g., the ubiquitous "collaborator.").
Not so baffeling. The midwest is coming back. The cost of ding business is falling. The cost of land and doing business along with regulations make NY, NJ & CT a lousy place to start a manufacturing operation.
Last quarter America's GDP came in at a strong 3.5% but the fact that a 10% jump in federal spending, mostly on Pentagon hardware bolstered growth and was very much behind the numbers.
This "pre-election" spending was the biggest increase in federal spending since 2009 when the Obama administration put in place a huge economic stimulus package.
When you mix in an upbeat November number concerning job creation, falling oil prices and ever higher stock market prices and new record highs and many people have the impression we are on a roll.
The American and world economy is in uncharted water and weird crosscurrents are clouding our economic future. The truth is if this market is as over extended and distorted as many people think a crash may occur at any time. The article below delves into some of the many crosscurrents at work that could bring the economy to an abrupt halt.
