Who Cares What Wall Street Thinks?
We need to stop playing the expectations game. It seems like every day we hear that some report was better than expected. Since Wall Street analysts and economists make weathermen look like paragons of forecasting accuracy, why on earth do we care what they think? We need to start focusing on what is happening without comparing it to what someone thought was going to happen. Take a look at what is going on in the economy. I don't care what a survey of economists thought was going to happen, losing over 500,000 jobs is not a good thing. There is no way to put a positive spin on that number. The four-week average claims number dropping is meaningless. It just means that we are losing an incredible number of jobs on a weekly basis. Try to sell the less-bad theory of prosperity to one of the 531,000 people losing their jobs each week, and see how it goes over. Everybody seems to have a theory on housing. An awful lot of people think we are bottoming. Again, try selling the theory to one of the 3.5 million property owners who will face foreclosure this year. Housing prices are still falling pretty much across the board. Your estimate for sales is meaningless, since a huge volume of transactions are distressed properties and the shadow inventory is still building. Analysts downplay commercial real estate, even as bank regulators tell us that it is the biggest hurdle facing most banks over the rest of the year. We play this game with individual stock reports as well. JPMorgan Chase was better than expected. Does the fact that the company made trading profits using a combination of depositor and taxpayer money mean anything for the economy or broader market? The fact that the company lost $7 billion on bad loans is much more telling, in my opinion. Yesterday, traders were bidding up shares of Safeway Even more stunning wa...Click here to read the whole Article (external link)
