I’m Living in an Economic Twilight Zone – Ep. 52



* China announces a record trade surplus
* Media reports surplus as bad news for China
* Because of the strength of the Yuan, Chinese can buy more imports for less
* Chinese consumers purchasing more
* Chinese businesses manufacturing more
* Contrary to press reports these factors point to a strong economy in China
* U.S. has record deficits along with a strong dollar
* The short term effect of a strong currency is that trade deficits should go down because imports are cheaper
* The fact that our trade deficit continues to rise illustrates underlying economic weakness
* Media double standard: China trade surplus is bad but U.S. trade deficit is good
* Media reports "low rate of unemployment" among college grads, however:
* Record number of college graduates are under employed
* Only 44% of employed Americans work 30 hours or more per week
* In future, the smarter students will skip low-value degrees in favor of work experience
* Shake Shack IPO valuation $1.5 billion on $5 million profits
* Grilled Cheese Truck: valued at $100 million on negative revenues
* Black is white and white is black: Twilight Zone
