I think we have more expansion to go before we are like China and competitive again.

Do you wanna know what happened to Michael Jackson’s chimp Bubbles?

It grew-up and became a Fed Chairman.  ;-)

No recession until vehicle sales, new home starts and imports decline.  Not there yet.

I miss what's-his-name with the lingerie babe at the end of this sort of thing. In fact, for this many charts, there woulda been two.

Things are looking up. Men have so much money they can buy women's shoes for themselves.

It will NEVER be "ready" for a rate increase until we've gone through a +50% correction and follow-on rate decreases...is this the plan?  Continued transfer of wealth to .001% global asset holders?  TREASON!

I've never understood why talk of rising costs leaves out the health care debacle.  Mine has almost tripled.

What is there in those charts that says the economy won't crash even if they don't raise rates?

Does anyone give a shit if the economy is strong enough for a 0.25% rate hike? Its the banks and all their levered derivatives, the USD and all its knock ons that I'm concerned about.

With the economy now more than 6-years into an expansion

 

What expansion? What recovery? I don't see any new business. Where are the jobs?!? How does one slip into recession when there was never a recovery? Am I going insane? So everyone becomes a truck driver? To move more cheap Chinese shit around?

God save us!

If there is no Wanta Plan, then we are dead! Dead, dead, FUCKING -- dead ..

If Rob Kirby, Bill Holter, and Jim Sinclair are  correct, without monetary reset, and the Wanta Plan, then we're toast!

The economy never recovered from the 100% fake 1990s boom time.

Just as the economy needed the deaths of millions during WWII to recover from the fake 1920s boom.

It took 23 years to truly recover from the '29 collapse. There were some spectacular rallies for the 1% during that time. For real people it didn't get better until the early 1950s. The good economic times really only lasted for 15 years until it all started to fall apart again.

The 1% gets to enjoy far more economic good times than the masses. They only had to endure two years of stock market pain before they made everything back plus some after the last two crashes.

Real people have had to endure 16 years of economic malaise. Sure people got to buy some toys thanks to the housing boom, but it destroyed affordability and turned real estate into a game of monopoly flipping between players.

The six year rally from 2009 is probably the most hated and least believed rally of all time. When you talk to people they say the economy sucks. They say there are no jobs available and what are available don't pay enough.

How can people say the economy sucks after one of the longest and greatest stock market rallies of all time?

How can there not be any jobs after creating trillions of dollars in wealth?

The only answer is that it isn't real.

I dont know about anywhere else but here in New Hampshire, people are handing out money like candy.

Literally I,ve see people with hand fulls of USD's paying for shit like they were millionaires or something. Great big smiles on everyones face all the time, like they're drugged up on the USD.

Crazy crap! We have a zipline that last like 8-10 minutes and it cost $85 and you cant get near the place. Parking full, lines a mile long. CRAZY SHIT!

Boats so thick you can walk across them and little planes everywhere just circling around.

This has been the busiest summer I have ever seen here. Non stop traffic too. All day, all night, all the time.

WTF! Please save us S.O.S "Save Our State" "Welcome to NH. Please dont Mass it all UP." "I dont visit your state on weekends, why do you visit mine on weekends?"  Etc. etc.

GO HOME! Ever hear of Peace and Quiet?

All this friggin' hysteria over 25bp and all the simpering for more QE really illustrates what a mess we are in.

Is the economy strong enough .. simply no.  Why so? Well, firstly consider the wider economic fundamentals .. the big players like China and USA are co-dependant on each other.  One gets sick the other catches the virus.  Like siamese twins sharing ebola.

Then, the smaller supporting players like Brazil, European Med countries, other Asian players .. these are all on shaky ground.  That's before we get to the really sick countries of the world such as Greece.

By the way Greece hasn't gone away, Brazil is falling a part like most of South America and Africa is a war ripped, platoon of jungle monkeys.  Europe is expecting another couple of million on the dole queus thanks to Syria et al.  The rest of the world is just waiting for the event horizon.

We're just watching the signs, any sign of the next tsunami to appear.  Hopefully we're on solid ground and far from the shore, possibly up on high ground when the tidal waves appear.
