We can call this a "no win" economy.
*It seems like the Fed thinks the economy is growing too fast, and have concerns about inflation.
*Unemployment is low but there is no real wage growth.
*The yeild curv is flat, indicating pessimism.
*Trade deficit is too high.
*GDP growth is too low.
*No jobs are being created.
*Corporate profits are too high.
*Consumer spending is too low.
*Consumer debt is too high.
*No consumer savings.
*Major US comapnies are downsizing.
*Government deficit spending is the worst in history.
It kind of funny, because inspite of all of that my portfolio is up about 7% so far this year. Perhaps its time to cash-out and buy gold.
