One American's Rage Spills Over: Dear Liberal... Here's Why I'm So Hostile

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/03/2016 - 11:58 "Lately, I must admit that my hostility towards your political ilk has ramped up, pretty dramatically...Everything that modern liberalism accomplishes is accomplished at the barrel of a government rifle...What angers me the most about you is the eagerness with which you allow the incremental enslavement to occur. I have the utmost respect for a slave who is continuously seeking a path to freedom. What I cannot stomach is a free man who is continuous seeking a path to servitude by willingly trading his freedom for the false sense of security that government will provide."

The Battle Between Manufacturing And Services

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/03/2016 - 14:00 As we start the new year, there is a debate raging within the market.  No the debate isn’t whether there is weakness in the manufacturing economy, that is taken as a given, especially after Friday’s awful Chicago Purchasing Manager number of 42.9. Instead, the debate boils down to this: 'bears' believe the manufacturing economy and the service economy act in conjunction with each other – that one cannot turn, without the other; 'bulls' view each segment of the economy as relatively independent and they highlight the size of the service economy relative to the manufacturing. The answer lies in the missing cog - the 'wealth' economy.

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/03/2016 - 13:18 if companies are being honest about their intentions to raise wages, then US corporate profitability is about to fall off a cliff. As the chart below from JPM shows, the difference between "intentions to raise prices" less "intentions to raise wages" - a proxy for operating margins - has not been this negative in the 21st century.

Bank of America Explains How Central Banks Rigged And Manipulated The Market

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/03/2016 - 10:51 "Essentially central banks, by unfairly inflating asset prices have compressed risk like a spring to unfairly tight levels. Unfortunately, the market is aware the price of risk is not correct, but they can’t fight it, and everyone is forced to crowd into the same trade. By manipulating markets they have also reduced investors’ inherent conviction by rendering fundamentals less relevant."

Derailed? What Rail Traffic Tells Us About The U.S. Economy

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/03/2016 - 10:07 Rail volumes provides a mixed picture of the US economy at this point: oil & gas and mining-related sectors are taking a real beating, some consumer sectors seem to be holding up and there are signs of weakness in the housing sector. 2016 should witness some type of a resolution here.

The Flaw in Social Security

from The Sovereign Investor:

Over the holidays, I spent plenty of time with friends and family. It was the typical holiday weekend for us: playing football in the backyard, seeing family from all over town and out of state. I even managed to venture out to catch the new Star Warsmovie.
But I don’t bring this up to brag about my family fun. It’s the unusual conversation I had with my grandma that I want to discuss.
As we were catching up on how things were going, we ended up a bit off topic, talking about the government and how it was difficult to live off Social Security.

Business in the Midwest Takes Worst Hit since July 2009

from Wolf Street:

Ugly, ugly, ugly. Manufacturing and non-manufacturing.
Thank God that manufacturing is just 12% of US GDP, and that it contributes only $2.1 trillion to the economy, and that only 9% of the US workforce is directly employed by it, according to the National Association of Manufacturers. So a swoon in manufacturing isn’t by itself going to crush the US economy. That’s the meme surrounding the ugly reality that has been spreading through US manufacturing.
And the Chicago Business Barometer just added another very ugly detail to the overall image, but this indicator goes far beyond manufacturing.
