Great Graphic: Solar Industry Info Graphic

April 05, 2014
My brilliant, witty, and wise webmaster (who works at one of those cool silicon valley start ups where they play beer pong in the office and the conference rooms are named after super heros) came across this great graphic on the U.S. solar industry's astounding progress in 2013 from GTM and thought she would share. 
Turns out she was right al…

Sequester Fester, No Cliff

February 28, 2013
The political paralysis means that the $1.2 trillion in spending cuts are set to go into effect with an $85 bln in cuts during the remainder of the current fiscal year.  Assuming that ever dollar cut in spending reduces GDP by a dollar, the sequester will shave US growth by around 0.5% this year.               

However, the way households will be…

FX Spin

February 21, 2013
The US dollar's gains have been extended against most currencies today, with the Japanese yen as a notable exception. Global equities have followed the slide in North America yesterday.  Bonds, even in the periphery of Europe, are mostly firmer, with the exception of Italy, where there is a certain amount of anxiety ahead the weekend election.…

Six FX Drivers

November 05, 2012
This is a momentous week.  The two largest economies have political transitions, three central banks meet, and Greece's parliament votes on key reforms, which if approved, will avert an immediate crisis. as the beleaguered country is now projected to run out of funds within the fortnight.

FX Outlook and Positioning: Getting Tired?

September 22, 2012
The days ahead will help clarify whether the US dollar's somewhat firmer tone last week was simply corrective in nature, before a new leg lower, or the carving out of a bottom of a downtrend that began in June against most of the major currencies and July for the euro.    
The key may not lie with the economic data.  The important steps announ…

Great Graphic: Words Used at RNC

September 05, 2012
Last night Michelle Obama's speech made me want to a. be better american and b. do more pushups to develop muscle tone in my arms. (My brilliant webmaster assures me not even having the commander in chief as a top adviser can spare one horror that is middle school girl drama.)
I thought it would be interesting to share this great graphic from…

Great Graphic: Obama's Energy Plan

September 05, 2012
A few nights ago Ann Romney spoke about how we could trust Mitt to take America to a better place. I for one am not sure how he plans to get there with his energy plan which, among other things, criticizes the Obama administration for increasing permit regulations for new drilling. Because drilling through the crust of the earth isn't a big d…

Great Graphic: Nominal Effective Exchange Rates

August 16, 2012
This Great Graphic comes from an email I received from Thomson Reuters.  It charts the nominal effective exchange rates (NEER)of the dollar, euro, Swiss franc and Australian dollar.  It is weighted by trade partner, but is not adjusted for inflation.  Some economists take the NEER measure and adjust for inflation.  This generates a real effective…

My brilliant and wise beyond her years webmaster decided that the the decision to uphold the Affordable Health Care Act was reason enough for a Great Graphic on the issue.

Great Graphic: A Woman's Worth

April 18, 2012
Ann Romney's resume or lack thereof has sparked interest in the role women play in the American economy. Following the dissapointing job numbers for March, President Obama commented on the role of women in the economy during a White House conference on the topic.


Yesterday was Equal Pay Day (I know it seems like just yesterday we were celebrati…

They say that hindsight is 20-20, and never is that more true than in the financial markets.

Inspired by this great timeline from the St. Louis Federal Reserve we are looking back on my thoughts at various points throughout the US Financial Crisis  In a post last week we looked at 2007 which set the stage for the crisis with trouble in the MBS in…

He shall from time to time.... State of the Union by Numbers

January 23, 2012
Tomorrow Obama will give the State of the Union and I (or rather my infinitely wiser webmaster) thought it would be appropriate to share some interesting figures about the annual address.

1790: When the first State of the Union was given by George Washington (shocking, I know) on January 8th.
