Great handle, Igy.
Skip over the nonsense posts from the Detector Dude. Which ones you ask? Good question. Hard to say. He has used so many different handles including his latest personal tetesment "tiny dick."
Epic fail, Igy. Or should I call you TD? You really stepped in it there. And watching you try to walk it back is so much fun. Hahahahahahaha.

Damn, Igy/TD, you're really stepping in your own shit tonight. Put down the Chardonnay.
Eat up, Igy/TD. Think of it as humble pie.

Humble pie spiked with Vienna sausages.
Detector Dude swears it works better than elephant tusks.
It won't help your self-described TD.

Well worth it. Good read.

Igy's ineptitude is just hilarious. Is it possible that he's actually worse at trolling than financial advising?

You certainly have a fixation on GOI.
Yes, I do. It's hard to ignore him. Anyway it's better than having his dick fixation.
Moving on from the strange Detector Dude posts to economics:
Latest forecast: 1.3 percent — March 7, 2017
The GDPNow model forecast for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the first quarter of 2017 is 1.3 percent on March 7, down from 1.8 percent on March 1. The forecasts for first-quarter real personal consumption expenditures growth and real nonresidential equipment investment growth fell from 2.1 percent and 9.1 percent, respectively, to 1.8 percent and 7.3 percent, respectively, after Thursday's motor vehicles sales release from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. The forecast of the contribution of inventory investment to first-quarter growth fell from -0.50 percentage points to -0.72 percentage points after yesterday's manufacturing report from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Growth is good.
If you want some idea of historically consistent GDP, inflation, unemployment, etc., look here--
Most of what he does is reasonable. We have some differing judgments, but the outcome is essentially the same.
FORGET about the fudged government metrics unless you know how they are fudged, because politically-expedient fudgements dominate. Look instead to semi-verifiable industry numbers, and to those who attempt to correct the numbers to produce historical consistency, like Williams.
the muggles are getting their clocks cleaneda and their pockets picked on SNAP - down around 21% from its high point
agip,
SNAP what nonsense. Not sure what to make of such baloney. Friend says it is really popular with teens. OK, and reached a $37 billion market cap.
People should get spanked for doing stupid stuff.

agreed, although i don't know the first thing about their business model.
and they are certainly getting spanked today - down 11%
and to be fair, didn't Facebook also get wrecked the week of its IPO? And then look at it - one of the great stocks of the last decade.
But snap doesn't seem to be a facebook type company.
agip,
Yea don't know much about SNAP really, but seems a little silly. Barron's had a negative article on it. I actually bought Facebook after the IPO in the teens. FB had the numbers and IPOed in a different environment. Sold too soon, but did well.
