"Why not complain, it's one of the few things you can do in today's world that costs you nothing?"….Last night, Faye and I figured our taxes, and I feel as though I've been working for nothing. The blasted city, country, state and federal government take most of it, and I feel like a slave working for somebody else rather than working for myself.

But then I think, the party's over, and now we've got to pay for it. If only I was the Fed and I could print my way out of my taxes. It's a mad, mad world, and we made it that way. There's only one thesis that serves to show us what's going on. It's the eternal truth -- "FOLLOW the MONEY." Everything in economics boils down to a FLOW OF FUNDS, which is another way of saying, "follow the money."

PS the same idea is here,
"The challenge of economics and to journalism is to remind us that motives are less important than actions. People lie about their motives. Look at what they do, not what they say."
Russ Roberts
I guess that is why momentum works so well.,

"Our panel of savvy Wall Street strategists expect stocks to rise 10% next year as an economic expansion takes hold."
Ah well, the wish is often father to the thought. RR

Funny, I thought we depended on the stock market to tell us what lies ahead. But I guess times have changed. Now Wall Street's "experts" forecast next year's economy, and they tell us that the stock market will advance as it gets in line with their economic forecasts…….. Wait a moment, the "experts" envision an "economic expansion" ahead, and therefore the stock market will rise as it gets in step with the expectations of the experts?

Businesses are producing same GDP as in 2007 with 7.5m fewer workers. That cannot last…" (Economist)

Average 3,3% real GDP growth is needed just to keep the unemployment rate stable. At 2,0% real growth, the jobless rate rises over 1% per year.

PS Tomorrow i am going to London to visit HF for the rest of the week. The weather is frezzing but no rain.
