Goldman Cuts Q2 GDP Forecast To 2.0% Following Miserable Factory Orders
We suggested that Goldman would trim its Q2 forecast following the abysmal Factory orders number earlier. Sure enough, here it comes. To our surprise, however, the cut was on 0.1%. This can only mean that Hatzius has left more dry powder for further GDP cuts as more and more high frequency economic "misses" rise to the surface.
From Goldman:
MAIN POINTS:
1. Factory orders declined by 0.6% (month-over-month) in April, in contrast to consensus expectations for a small increase. The decline resulted primarily from a drop in the nominal value of petroleum orders/shipments due to lower oil prices. Durable goods orders were unchanged in April, and non-durable goods orders/shipments excluding petroleum products increased by 0.2%.
2. The report was a modest negative for our tracking estimate of Q2 GDP growth. In particular, growth in “core” durable goods shipments (nondefense capital goods ex-aircraft) was revised down. Non-durable goods inventories also increased less than we had anticipated. We therefore revised down our tracking estimate by one tenth to +2.0% (annualized).

Oh ok, explains why the market is ramping back green then.. all is well. for QE that is.
plunge protection team is now going in bareback.
2%? Surely they misplaced the decimal and it should read .02%
Who do they think they're fooling revising it down by 0.1% to 2.0% growth?? ROTFLMFAO!
Obviously Goldman has some ulterior motive working on this blatant fabrication. Begging the taxpayers to save them again.
Bernanke is in a box! Cant announce another QE or dollar is done, however market will collapse if he doesn't. Oh, what a terrible web we weave....
CNN actually said this morning that Bernanke MUST PRINT, or the MArkets will collapse.
WITH IT, BLACK JESUS MIGHT LOSE THE ELECTION!

If they used an accurate measure of inflation, growth would be negative. But the game must go on and muppets must have hope.
I don't blame them. Today and last week were DREADFUL. But what do you expect from a green ideologue like Obama? M

I figured out my personal nba shoes. As I was whittling down the contents of my closet, I decided what I liked about nba players shoes. I noticed I tend to gravitate towards neutral colors and like to pull my outfit together with fun, cheap nba jerseys - such as a wide brim hat, a faux fur scarf, or Tracy Mcgrady Shoes, etc. - to give it a personal touch or two. Even if I deviate from my neutral Kobe Bryant Shoes, O.T.T. (over the top) print in the form of paisley genie pants Derrick Rose Shoes, I know it will work with the foundational pieces I already have. http://www.nbaplayerstarshoes.com/
