Let me translate what you just said "I have no fucking clue what you said, so instead of actually putting thought into a response, I'm gonna just spew a bunch of shit."puppylove_sugarsteel said:
Been living at investopedia Ex? Anybody with any business acumen wouldnt be spewing your plagiarized, verbatim and silly references. Give it up buttfuck.2001400ex said:It depends, are you talking diluted EPS? What is the cause of shares outstanding declining? From purchase of treasury stock or other reasons.

I figured you wouldnt get it it Ex. Further proves my point .

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.
BTW...love zerohedge. Fun blog to read, even if I don't buy all the doom and gloom.
I would not agree that there is a disconnect between earnings and stock market price. Look at EPS for the stock market as a whole, it's still at the lower end of the spectrum.
While EPS is not the only indicator of the economy, it's still a factor. If earnings are declining, then it's an indicator it a pending recession. But there is a lag, as there is with everything in a large economy. However the chart is still showing EPS growth. Clearly sarktastic can't read the chart.
- Its FS to think corporate earnings are solely correlated to only the US economy while in a global economy.
- Its FS to think the stock market, EPS, or anything like that is linearly representative of overall US economic growth (i.e. you saying "yet that chat indicates a smoking economy in 2010"). The stock market has historically grown at, what 7% rate, while the economy has grown much less. Numerous reasons, with one of many being that its partially dependent on return against the "risk free rate of return", and with interest rates rate now at historically abnormal conditions...
- Its FS to say companies borrowing money on the cheap and buying back stock isn't impacting EPS numbers (one of many links here). Why again are companies like Apple and Microsoft issuing a boatload of bonds when they have huge amounts of cash on-hand?
- Its FS to say we've had 5 years of growth when the quarterly growth rate in 1Q 2014 was -2.1%.
- Its REALLY FS to say EPS is on the lower spectrum...(link). No clue what the F you meant to say, but it wasn't that. Maybe you meant P/E ratio, but that's not and has gone up even as actual GDP growth has been rather anemic, so no luck for you there either.
- Its really FS to say the economy the last couple of years has been anything decent compared to where it should be historically:
(there are a million of these comparisons...none of them look good for the current "recovery".
I could go on but you should get the drift (or not...lets be honest here). Give Obama credit. He's grown one thing better than anybody before him. People on Food Stamps. Up 40 or 50% under him...I guess its something to be proud of... -
The subject is the lack of growth not your phony unemployment numbers. It's not embarrassing for me at all. I'm not an Obama hack2001400ex said:
Lol, you don't like he numbers so they are phony. How did I know that was your answer. Really it's just embarrassing for you.RaceBannon said:Don't forget Reagan policies worked. Obama's haven't.
We already covered the phony unemployment numbers. You weren't there and you're just a hack now so never mind. Obama is great. All is well. -

Companies like Microsoft and apple are issuing bonds because their cash is overseas due to the tax structure.
Of course it's FS to correlate the economy solely to the stock market, I've already said that, talk to the OP on that one.
We have had 5 YEARS of growth, I didn't say 20 quarters. Look at why the GDP went down, and look at the GDP the next quarter. Not one economist talked recession, which is two straight quarters of decline.
For the economy, it isn't perfect. There's good and bad parts to it. If you are college educated with the right degree, then it's great. My field, unemployment is very low and businesses are begging for people. The part that is struggling is the people that did well in 2004-2007, the meth heads that made $15 an hour under the table framing homes. Yeah they don't have jobs now. Yes that's very simplified, I don't have the time right now to provide a proper response.
For those charts, yes the recovery wasn't as good or as quick, but also notice a couple things. One, this recession was much stronger than the others. Two, you see each recovery was less strong than the previous. Don't you think that over time, as our economy has gotten bigger, it makes it harder to expand quickly?
Lastly, show me one comment where I have supported Obama. I have pointed out facts to refute bullshit. Because there are a lot of lies spewed around here. Your post was above average. However I do question why you are trying to paint the economy as being horrible. When it's not. -

I was right. You're an Obama hack
Water is wet -
Ok...so you meant PE ratio...you're still wrong. Go look up the numbers yourself...historically its around 15, right now its over 20.
It has nothing to do with oversees earnings and everything to do with a) borrowing on the REALLY cheap and b) borrowing to incur debt to lower their taxes.
The OP didn't make any FS statement about booming in 2010...he said "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." And as both he did and I did in a previous link (here again)...if interest rates weren't so artificially low to the point that companies wouldn't be issuing debt just to buy back shares the EPS numbers would have been horrible the last couple of years. You are the one that ran into lala land from that comment. Sad part is companies should be spending that money on actually growing their businesses, but they don't trust the current policy and economy enough to do so and they instead plow their money into buying back shares. Which is part of the reason why the stock market has been going up while the broader economy still blows. Scary part is one of the main sectors where huge capital investments have been going on is oil/shale gas, and that's grinding to a stop right now.
The economy blows. The stock market is doing great so those of us with experience in specialized fields are fine, but for the US as a whole it blows. I know you think everyone who doesn't have a 4 year degree, 401K and other money in the stock market are "meth heads that made $15 an hour under the table framing homes", but that ain't true. Even for the newly educated its not true...hell, only 65% of college grads are employed, and only 36% of them are in full-time, permanent jobs. Median income and household net worth is actually down under Obama...as damning a stat as there should be. I love how liberals look down on the majority of Americans as being awful people and something they aren't all while trying to "help" them.
Yet another stat to be proud of in this economy...more people have left the work force under Obama than found new jobs. The employment numbers reported now are lies...if you think unemployment is under 6% I've got some ocean front property in Arizona to sell you.
This recession was much stronger than previous? More FS statements...go look at the economy under Jimmy Carter 1 and get back to me...it blew monkey balls and was way worse than '07. Inflation alone was something like 12% his last two years.
An for the last...recoveries haven't gotten progressively milder:
Maybe you meant to say your expectations in the economy got milder with O in charge?

Now we are getting somewhere. Someone is actually attempting to post facts. Congrats.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_recessions_in_the_United_States
You were quoting GDP, so here are the recessions:
2008 - 18 months - 4.3% decline
2001 - 8 months - .3%
1990 - 8 months - 1.4%
1982 - 16 months - 2.7%
1980 - 6 months - 2.2%
1974 - 16 months - 3.2%
1970 - 11 months - .6%
For the OPs statements, read the fucking title to the thread. Yes he clearly made reference to the economy.
Nice reaching by saying I'm talking down on others. If you can read, I was pointing out the fact that SOME people with college degrees are doing well. Others not so much. And the typical blue collar job that built this country is hard to find right now. Mostly because we are transitioning to a technology based economy. My buddy who used to work at Microsoft said they are hiring people right out of college for $100k a year because they need people.
Yes if you look at chart of the recoveries in your first post, recoveries have gotten progressively slower, it's right there in the charts. But it all depends on what stats you want to use.
Is the economy great? No. Is it good? Yes. Unemployment is using the exact same formula under Reagan. So yes those stats are comparable. There are many positive aspects to this economy and many negative parts. But to say the economy is shitty is just plain dumb.
