60% of you don’t exist
The number of Americans who have jobs in 2013 is about the same as in 2000, yet the population has grown from 281 million to 311 million. Before the last recession, the employment / population ratio was 62.7%. Somewhere along the way nearly 18.8M jobs did not materialize over the past 13 years. Are there really 12M unemployed, or are there 31M? It’s like 60% of the unemployed don’t exist (in government data).
The world’s inventory of AAA-rated government bonds has fallen 60 per cent since the start of the financial crisis. That’s $7T! Did it evaporate like the American worker? Nope. The bonds still exist. They just got demoted to a higher risk (different risk rating) by bond ratings agencies.
Statistical mirages.

BNN Interview had the wrong information
Today I had the pleasure of being interviewed live on BNN’s The Close. I wish to thank BNN for the interview. I thought it went well. However, I need to set the record straight. There were 2 graphics that popped-up on the lower edge of the screen that were incorrect.
One claimed “Greedometer predicts a 60% collapse in the S&P500 by July”. I have no idea how BNN came by that position. Let me clarify. It is my position -as supported by the Greedometer- that the S&P500 will top-out in April-May this year, then collapse 65-70% over the ensuing 1.5 years.
Similarly, there was another graphic that said “Greedometer calling for market collapse before August 2013″. Again. NO! 2013 is a topping-out year. The S&P500 is likely to peak in April-May setting a new high, then take a small breather and climb back nearly as high again in July. What follows is a long collapse with increasingly larger dips.
BNN has assured me they will delete or otherwise correct the comments on the video.
