gdp

[chico2663]

will roy realize that the gdp is inflated because they ship products before the tariffs hit? That soybeans was up because farmers shipped early. That obama had a 4.9 quarter in 2014. Is he smart enough to realize that the national deficit is exploding. Wondering minds want to know.

[vitterd]

Roy is a headline guy....he does not see anything but the numbers he wants to see....

Is he smart enough? We all know the answer. An emphatic NO!

exactly correct, i think Roy meant 4% yearly growth, but a great number. you guys read what the economists said and how they qualified that number. we will see next quarter, especially if some of his economic policies stick.

[Turd Ferguson]

But I just heard Trump say "we're winning bigger than anyone understands".

Isn't that all we need to know?

[Bluehorseshoe]

Can you imagine the 180 on the GDP numbers that come out next quarter?

[HockeyRocks]

Nice number but a few things:

......Number Not sustainable according to economist.

......Number means the Feds may raise interest rates twice more this year. Not good for middle America.

......Number could be destroyed in coming months if Trump continues with his tariff games.

......Number really doesn't do much for wages that are still stagnant...

Carry On...

So that 4.1% GDP growth ... is bad/means nothing/misleading/a mirage, etc.

Guys - honestly, this is where hate as a master plan gets you. Not that hating and persecuting all things Trump has achieved a single end for the left, but now it makes committed resisters interpret good news as OH NOT SO GOOD AT ALL, IN FACT IT'S BAD.

And that's all well and dandy, but you know what they say about the definition of insanity: it's doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Econ is about reading more than the headline, if you only look at the headline number it's fake news.

No one's hating on these numbers...Just take a few minutes and educate yourself on what people in the know, economist say about the number......No question, it's a great number, but may be a distant memory if other changes aren't made...Happy researching.

Market has slipped into negative territory, must not be convinced of the latest GDP number is such a fantastic thing for the economy...

You’re not even an American. Trump doesn’t want you here. The guy you love would kick you out of here.

This 4.1 isn't some nice number out of the blue - positive metrics, been popping up for well over a year. Tremendously low unemployment for one, consumer confidence and small business activity too... Economy is booming. Not sure how anyone can make a case otherwise - but I admit I enjoy watching people trying to deny it because of who the President is.

Oh I don't know, maybe Facebook revising revenues downward and losing 120 billion in market cap in the past 36 hours has a little something to do with that, ya think?

What did you learn from your research on why the number 4.1 is what it is????

Hockey gets it, the USD would of blasted off if they algorithms accepted the headline

Dwight,

I'm very happy with today's number and fully invested that allows me to be semi-retired and live very comfortably off a 6 figure income...According to economist this number will not be sustainable especially if Trump continues his tariff games. The other thing that helped this number was farmers sold their soybeans to beat the tariffs. Just today Coke announced a 10% increase in their prices because of the cost of aluminum.. This is just the beginning of increased prices to consumers which going forward will affect GDP... This is equal to a tax on Americans..So one quarter does not make a year, so at the end of the year we end up with annual 2.5-3.0% GDP will be a good thing... Carry On..

Do you understand that they sold 50% more in soy beans to beat the tariffs. If they buy their normal soybeans it will mean a 50% decrease this next quarter. Also when obama did a 4.9 in a quarter in 2014 did you raise a beer to him?

Hockey, most economists have been 100% wrong about Trump from day one. That is just a fact. You think Trump just does it on his own? You can't be that naive. He is surrounded by economists and advisors also. Just not the failed doom and gloom ones who are always wrong. Time will tell.

Good points.

They are trapped. There was a reason they were completely desperate to kill the tax cuts. They knew this would happen. They knew the economy would grow and average Americans would notice and be pleased.

This is the 2nd great qtr since the tax cuts were enacted. EVERYONE continues to underestimate their effects. The brightest economists in the world were projecting 3.3% just 90 days ago. That's a huge under estimate.

chico you do know that Kudlow was the chief economist for Bear Sterns in the 80's and 90's? He's written respected books, attended Princeton and been very accurate over many years.

I know you tards hate anything associated with Fox but geessh find some semi-valid points.

Mnuchin is the brains behind all the financial matters. Kudlow is really just a spokesman.

[maggiethebestdog]
