So soon? Barely four months ago, they were calling for 1.9% 2011 growth. Of course, equities immediately soared!

Now, a quarter later they're trumpeting a 4 percent annualized growth rate by the end of 2011! How will stocks respond?

Of course, there's an ugly truth buried in this "great" news of "expansion"...

excerpt:

"Economists at BNP Paribas say the ratio of deficit-to-GDP will grow to 9.5% in fiscal 2011 from their previous 8.5% forecast, and it will rocket to 9.8% from the prior 6.9% estimate for fiscal 2012."

Cutting GDP to 1.9 percent is soooo yesterday at GS, especially now that the 'congressional opposition' has withered. Which GS genius failed to predict that? -ng-
