QUICK
VIEW AT US’ ECONOMY:
Economic Data continues to surprise to the upside
(compared to what had been terrible expectations)...is this as good as it gets?
Big week for tax-related stocks...
The Dollar Index had its worst week in over 2
months, dropping to 1-month lows... (this is also the first consecutive weekly
decline in the dollar index since July)
Bitcoin had another big week - getting as close to
$8000 as possible... (up 45% from its lows last weekend)...

"In the face of blatant dangers and even existential threats, the denizens of the Acela Corridor whistle
past the graveyard with alacrity. So doing, they turn a blind eye on virtually all that
contradicts the awesome recovery narrative, the indispensable nation conceit
and the Washington can Make America Great Again (MAGA) delusion, among
countless other fantasies."

The chart below is supposed to
be the evidence, but we are still scratching our heads looking for the point. It seems
that global corporate earnings ex-US based companies have surged.....all
the way back to where they were in 2011!

There is an important picture that is currently
developing which, if it continues, will impact earnings and ultimately the stock
market. Let’s take a look at some
interesting economic numbers out this past week.
On
Tuesday, we saw the release of the Producer Price Index (PPI) which ROSE 0.4% for the month following a similar rise of 0.4% last month.
This surge in prices was NOT surprising given the recent devastation from
3-hurricanes and massive wildfires in California which led to a temporary surge
in demand for products and services.
Then on
Wednesday, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was released which showed only a small 0.1%
increase falling sharply from the 0.5% increase last month.
This
deflationary pressure further showed up on Thursday with a -0.3 decline in Export prices. (Exports make up about 40% of corporate
profits)
For all of you that continue to insist this is an “earnings-driven
market,” you should pay very close attention to those three data points
above.

"Remember, your
life-savings is just that. It represents your life... So, when Uncle Sam confiscates your
life-savings via the inflation tax something more is happening... Not only are you being robbed of
your money, you’re being robbed of your life. Your life’s simply inflated
away. Poof!"
Shadow Stats
On
Wednesday the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) published its October Consumer
Price Index (CPI) report. According to the government number crunchers, consumer prices are
increasing at an annual rate of 2 percent.
Of course, anyone who lives and works in the real world
knows prices are rising much faster.
John
Williams of Shadow Government Statistics calculates the CPI using early-1980s
methods. Williams re-creates how the government previously calculated the
CPI before they reconfigured their scheme to understate inflation versus common
experience. By Williams’ calculations the CPI is increasing at an annual
rate of 9.8 percent.
What price inflation number you believe is up to you.
We’re merely providing information for your consideration. Are consumer
prices rising at 9.8 percent per years, as Williams suggests? Are they
rising at 5 percent? Are they going down?
We
suppose it depends on if you’re buying a flannel shirt at Wal-Mart or paying
your utility bill. Still, many would agree that, overall, their day to
day experience includes price increases far greater than 2 percent per year.
If we assume price inflation to be 3 percent per
year, that means the purchasing power of your cash drops by 30 percent over a
12 year period.
Hence,
if you retire at age 62, that means you’ll see the purchasing power of each
dollar you own decline to $0.70 by age 74. By age 86, your purchasing
power will be cut in half.
In short, 3 percent annual price inflation reduces
each dollar you own to just $0.50 in less than 25 years. Without
question, this is a significant loss in purchasing power.
How Uncle Sam Inflates Away Your Life
We
doubt that the dollar devaluing effects of price inflation is a new concept for
you. Most likely you’ve heard this many times before.
However, this stealthy destruction of your wealth
bears repeating. The fact is over the
course of your retirement half of your life-savings will be covertly
confiscated from your bank account. We find this to be wholly
intolerable.
Remember, your life-savings is just that. It
represents your life. When Uncle Sam confiscates your life-savings via
the inflation tax something more is happening. Not
only are you being robbed of your money, you’re being robbed of your
life. Your life’s simply inflated away. Poof!
Factor
in federal and state income taxes, social security, disability, Medicare,
capital gains taxes, outrageous health insurance costs, subsidizing
luxury electric vehicles and grape flavored soda pop, and a vast array of
fees and exactions, it’s a miracle you have any money left over at all.
