Jim’s Formula:
September 1, 2006
1)First interest rates rise affecting the drivers of the US economy, housing, but before that auto production goes from bull to a bear markets.
2)This impacts many other industries and the jobs report. An economy is either rising at a rising rate or business activity is falling at an increasing rate. That is economic law 101. There is no such thing in any market as a Plateau of Prosperity or Cinderella - Goldilocks situations.
3)We have witnessed the Dow rise on economic news indicating deceleration of activity. This continues until major corporations announced poor earnings, making the Dow fall faster than it rose, moving it deeply into the red.
4)The formula economically is inherent in #2 which is lower economic activity equals lower profits.
5)Lower profits leads to lower Federal Tax revenues.
6)Lower Federal tax revenues in the face of increased Federal spending causes geometric, not arithmetic, rises in the US Federal Budget deficit. This is also true for cities & States as it is for the Federal government.
7)The increased US Federal Budget deficit in the face of a US Trade Deficit increases the US Current Account Deficit.
8)The US Current Account Balance is the speedometer of the money exiting the US into world markets (deficit).
9)It is this deficit that must be met by incoming investment in the US in any form. It could be anything from businesses, equities to Treasury instruments. We are already seeing a fall off in the situation of developing nations carrying the spending habits of industrial nations; a contradiction in terms.
10)If the investment by non US entities fails to meet the exiting dollars by all means, then the US must turn within to finance the shortfall.
11)Assuming the US turns inside to finance all maturities, interest rates will rise with the long term rates moving fastest regardless of prevailing business conditions.
12)This will further contract business activity and start a downward spiral of unparalleled dimension because the size of US debt already issued is of unparalleled dimension.
Therefore as you get to #12 you are automatically right back at #1. This is an economic downward spiral.
I heard all this "slow business" as negative to gold talk in the 70s. It was totally wrong then. It will be exactly the same now.

Here in CT
I am 45 minutes from NYC, Fairfield County CT, The richest County in the country. I do work as an Arborist (tree doctor) with my own Biz. I have buddies in all levels of construction and it is murder here. Guys are going bankrupt left and right. Truck sales down 60% last month and 75 repos. November is usually one of my busy months and not one tree call. All my crap is paid for but those with financed equipment are choking.
Those with good mortgages can no longer pay those, let alone credit card payments. Things be bad!

Important -- #2
Just read that, by law, mutual funds have to offload any stock that falls below $5 from their portfolios. Some of the companies being held are very close to this level. We may see the tanking of the stock market like we've never seen before if these funds start selling.
great point
I feel sorry for older folks with pension funds fully invested.........

amazing
I see this everywhere.
So hard for them to get out of their conditioning......Media did a good brain job on them.
Those people will have the hardest time when it gets to the Argentina level and below that.......
they will be the first victims for the many hungry "wolfes".
I was growing up hearing war stories of mothers giving little pieces of meat(carved out of their own bodies) to their children so at least they can survive the hunger....so my feeding the birds thread has so much more value if horrible things where to take place once again because the whole population will search for anything to EAT.
