Makes you wonder where EPS would be if we didn't have record LBB's since interest rates have been artificially frozen at zero, doesn't it, Honda.

    Please learn how to interpret charts.

    It's year over year sales and earnings per share. In other words, it shows 5 straight years of growth. And yes of course growth is slowing, that's what happens after 5 years of continual growth.

    It's funny, you'll say that Obama had the slowest recovery every, yet that chat indicates a smoking economy in 2010. See the hypocrisy? It's how you lie with stats.

    Now.... Let's hear your interpretation. Give me about 5 minutes tho to make some popcorn.

    Imagine for a moment a period of time when earnings are stable. Assume also, during that same period, the number of shares outstanding fell. Would the earnings per share during this period be falling? Rising? Or stay the same?

    Zero Hedge can be interesting, but shouldn't be taken seriously; they've been consistently claiming that we're due for a Mad Max-style dystopia since the mid-2000s.

    Russkie Propaganda?

    It depends, are you talking diluted EPS? What is the cause of shares outstanding declining? From purchase of treasury stock or other reasons.

    Can we get @thechatch in here for an explanation?

    I'm waiting for @sarktastic to respond. I have a feeling that one went right over his head.

    There is so much misinformation in this post not sure where to start. If you want to talk US economic growth...go look at GDP stats. The original post I'm assuming is referencing the relative increase in stock prices vs. actual earnings growth, and how there has been a growing disjuncture between the two. Turning it into a claim about the US economy is FS.

    BTW...love zerohedge. Fun blog to read, even if I don't buy all the doom and gloom.
