Structure and Toc ...
And now a thread🧵with the main highlights!
1) Q3 2023 real GDP increased at an annual rate of 4.9% (q/q) … not bad at all …
👉 Q3 increase driven by increases in consumer spending and inventory investment. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, increased. Overall, 14 of 22 industry groups contributed to the Q3 increase in real GDP
👉 the 4.9% growth rate is more than double the 2.35% median in the last 20 years
👉 note also the 2007-2009 recession, and also the 2020 Covid down & up swing
👉 reminder: every 6-8 years we get a recession, it’s just the business cycle … things recover, having a plan for when (not if) it happens makes it easy to weather the storm
👉🧐Contrarian indicator = hedge fund equity market exposure which is now exceptionally low ... as during 2008 Lehman, 2012 EuroZone Sovereign Debt Crisis, 2020 Covid crash & now with higher rates, recession likelihood ... Thoughts? Food for thought ?
