Tyler Durden's picture




 

2014... same as 2013 - stocks up, economic growth down!

 

 

World 2015 and 2014 GDP growth expectations just hit their lowest on record.. as World stocks re-test their record highs.

Just how long can the money-printing brigade keep this facade standing?

Chart: Bloomberg

Depends on your perspective. Someone left a USA today in the break room. I had never read one so I delved in to indulge in an alternative view point. Dear God, almost soiled myself trying to wade though the Pollyanna sickly sweet " don't worry, be happy" drivel.

If this is what passes for " news" today the masses don't need any more mindless entertainment. They're fully brain dead and I doubt meds could help the nether regions.

I was looking at average individual incomes and for the last year reported, 2013 it was still only 94.6% of it's peak in 2006.

The charts in this article are projections, but in a rational world, GDP, incomes, business activity, revenue/sales should all align with the stock market, even allowing for some lag.

In the centrally planned and government controlled world no such silly correlations need exist.

Stock prices are just claims on wealth or, if things go poorly, imagined wealth.

According to the IMF, US share of world GDP peaked at 32.5% in 2001. In 2014, it is forecast to fall to just 22.4%. http://investmentwatchblog.com/according-to-the-imf-us-share-of-world-gdp-peaked-at-32-5-in-2001-in-2014-it-is-forecast-to-fall-to-just-22-4/

Yield curve still looks ok.  Lower gas prices are a positive for the world economy, but everything could fall apart quickly give the high debt levels.  Some day debt will have to be written off in a big way...  How that is done and to what extent assets are brought down with it...I don't know...

Soon a boot with a water-board will come and say, "You're rich, and content. Right?!"

The banksters need to repay us.

The big question becomes when will the rich people become poor.  The real weath in this economy have fled Wall Street after '08, no idea where it went. 

Alot of new money is going to become poor money.  The old money arranged marriages to keep their fortunes when they saw the writing on the wall, just like the nobles of old.

One thing different in 2014 from 2013: in 2014, bonds (UST) did even better than stocks.

So what's the deal for 2015?

>>Bonds do relatively better than stocks

>>Stocks do relatively better than bonds

I remember that Argentina picked the New Years for the 'coralito'. 

This  year still has a few trading says and a couple of weekends suitable for bank holidays.

From the chart I can deduce GDP and stocks are both going up, and GDP and stock growth are both slowing.

Can someone explain to me where the discrepancy is?
