Fed Watch: On The Dispersion, Or Lack Thereof, of Economic Weakness
Tim says the probability of a recession requires dispersion of the bad new across all sectors (like the oil shock). He claims the industrial sector, which is in recession , will not disperse, and her has the probability of a recession at 10%.
Let's see what a bottleneck in Obamacare causes to the economy. Medical inflation is running at 4%, general inflation at zero. I think we have a a 30% riser in premium costs, and major insurers are likely losing money.
Is that dispersive? You bet, the consumer is dead in the water, spending his discretionary cash on adverse selection inm a losing game. That consumer is 70% of the economy.
