You haven't been able to remind us of anything for the past 3 years with your lame assessment of what the market is going to do.
Yours is the only folly.

What difference does it make. You both have the same viewpoints.

Yes. You are wrong...but what difference does it make?
pathetic.
Good job predicting a low GDP print, Igy.
Another month done. Mark it down.
US stocks up around a percent in April, and up around 7% for the year to date.
I'll take that any day and twice on Sunday.

Just a quick reminder that while it is appreciated, you are not required to sign your posts.
agip,
The GDP number and market performance reflect two views of the economy. I was at a conference today. The equity guys Bullish and bond guys Bearish. It will be interesting over coming months.

So, tell me why then the infatuation?
You're right. I was wrong. Igy is clearly infatuated with himself, so there's one person who wants to be Igy.
Add that to the long list of his mistakes.
Earnings Scorecard: As of today (with 58% of the companies in the S&P 500 reporting actual results for Q1 2017), 77% of S&P 500 companies have beat the mean EPS estimate and 68% of S&P 500 companies have beat the mean sales estimate.
We just concluded the Dow's best week of 2017. That's really something considering how well the markets have done since the election. It's been a good time for investors.

Your poor parents must be so ashamed
Oh, the irony!

Yikes.
Dow is way up since Trump was elected, but here we are with a miserable GDP report, well under 1% growth. The Dow is up of course on high corporate profits and the good chance that with cuts in regulations, corporate taxes, and worker protections, profits will be up even more and workers and oxygen inhalers will be up a creek.

you do have to ask yourself how we are at full employment and corporate profits are soaring...with almost no economic growth.
It's pretty obvious that GDP is mismeasured.
GDP is highly dependent on spending which was down due to mild temperatures, delayed tax returns, etc. Spending should increase enough during Q2 to generate growth north of 2%.
