I thought when it came to politicians advice to their constituents ,a simple "Shut up" is what they want from the voters.

Remember this one in '92 'It's the economy stupid'?
You don't like that anymore.
As a show of force and solidarity, ALL democrats should REFUSE the tax cuts and send in checks to reimburse the money.
Horsey, I'll buy you the stamp and envelop if you post a photo of the check.
Deal?

I suspect peak economic activity was over the summer. Unless
US productivity picks up* (it could if capital investments** accelerate, of course, the economy won't grow much more than 2.0% to 2.5%/yr). I have no idea what the 3Q18 GDP print will look like, but it's backward looking.
*GDP growth is a function of population growth (not picking up) and productivity.
**the trend has certainly improved this year

1999 Christmas sales were great, too. I'm not calling for a 2000/1 repeat (no giant tech bubble), just saying it isn't that predictive of the future. Right now, the labor markets are really tight and wages are better. Maybe this is as good as it gets. We'll see.

Some share of that activity was stockpiling in anticipation of tariffs.

Speaking of the economy, there goes this years years gains. Lol. Just like I said , in the matter of days. And this maybe a minor correction. Goobers and brain trusts the interest rates will have to rise someday. They are already inching them. Trillions of debt to service. It can’t last forever. Yeah, it’s booming.......wait for it! The hangover will come eventually. How does one finance trillions without paying the piper? Republican and Democrat economics ..... lol
And in just days, it can all come back.
Bet you had a hard time sitting through all those GOOD days just waiting to play Genius with this post.
I'm impressed as HELL at your economic insight!

You've hit THE nail on the head...
New Car sales are declining as well...many other indicators as well...
I'll catch grief for this...but a recession has started....I wrote about it a week ago here...

No grief for you Sammy, a recession has indeed started months ago, in a majority of the country, excluding Texas....All the signs are there if anyone does the research, especially the bond market 10 year notes, which will continue to rise causing a yield curve inversion....Down goes the housing market, bond and stock market.....Look out below, it's going to be real bad.

You can capitalize on some things.
You are going to see some incredible incentives on new cars come Xmas and even better in the spring.
The used market will take until late spring to fill with inventory, but it will and drive prices down.

I work very closely with some car dealers in my business. Lots of shop talk goes on. I’m talking guys with 30 yrs experience and a couple owners of dealerships. They tell me what’s coming in the pipeline.
It must be fun sitting at home hoping to watch the economy collapse.

I was at a Nissan dealership on Tuesday where my car was being serviced on a factory recall.There were about a dozen people in the service department waiting room when the sales manager came in and was started making a sales pitch about all the cars and deals that they had, was anybody in a lease deal they wanted to get out of,great prices on used cars,etc.This went on for about 10 minutes and was definitely a first in my experience.
Things always eventually slow down.Economic cycles are real and politicians can't will the economy to success, no matter how much they want to.

For 2Q18 and 3Q18, railcar volumes (carloads) were up 5% and 4% y/y, respectively. For the first three weeks of October, the number is up 1.3% y/y. Some of the deceleration is likely related to tariff pre-buys, but the data is certainly worth monitoring, as the stock market is sending a slowdown signal (of course the market is often wrong).

Extremely robust economy here. Problem is so many jobs popped up around the country that a large percentage that were here for work from other states have been able to go back home and go back to work there. And guess what. They’re from the states that are exploding economically as mentioned. Which is leaving a pile of job openings here

Just thought it would take longer.....but its coming. Just like I said.
These "new" jobs pay shit. Housing on the down turn.
Stock Market tanking......Merry Christmas!!!!:lol:

Some fool on here trying to explain that the stock market is not the economy. No shit Sherlock...but if it tanks out it will be.
We will just print some more that will work....:lol:. Hold those interest rates!!! We can't we've been doing that for years.
Had to come back today and laugh. And this is just the beginning...the worse is yet to come.

Not only that, I learned plenty watching Wall $treet Week with Louis Rukeyser.

November retail sales were up 0.7 percent seasonally adjusted from October and increased 5 percent unadjusted year-over-year, completing the first half of the holiday shopping season with spending on track to easily meet the National Retail Federation's forecast, NRF said today.

If you’re in the market for a new car, this is the best time in five years.

End of year incentives are big
“I’ve never seen factory incentives like this. Even automakers who don’t typically have very many rebates have jumped into the fray in a big way.”
