The BEA reported the final GDP for Q1 and it's at stall speed, defined as anything below 2% almost always means we are in recession. Q4 final revision was 0.4%, also stall speed. Very ugly. Housing continues to be a bright spot keeping the economy alive. When QE tapers, what happens next? I think I might ask the local heroin addict what happens when he doesn't get his fix. That may give me some answers. I suspect wild swings in mood and periodic crashes, followed by rebounds on optimism of the next fix. Ouch.
