Breaking my normal rule of discussing equity prices let me say only that the S&P 500 index of Wall Street stocks will not defy monetary gravity or the feedback loops of global stress for much longer. Half the earnings of US big-cap companies come from overseas, repatriated into a stronger dollar, and therefore worth less in reporting terms. That and the fact that 3 out of the 5 percentage point increase in GDP was health care related and saved from the first quarter If this 5% was real 30 year rates would have gone up not down. The government is faking lift off as they think this is a confidence issue. It is not, It is a 380% DEBT/GDP ratio that is all that matters. Nothing in the data reflects the economy after dollar strengthening, or oil crashing .I am not arguing the US will not do better than the rest of the world only that deflation is coming and asset appreciation is over(except maybe the airlines).
