My Take on Construction Spending (Musical Tribute)

The following chart shows the natural log of the combined total of religious construction spending, sewage and waste disposal construction spending, and amusement and recreation construction spending all divided by disposable personal income. I am once again using a natural log so that exponential growth (or in this case decay) can be seen as a straight line.

Why religious, sewage and waste disposal, and amusement and recreation construction spending you might ask?

1. We have lost faith.
2. The @#$% is hitting the fan again.
3. We are not amused.



"Bond" is certainly having a good year so far (the last few weeks in particular). Shocking.

The 20-year TIPS is back under 1%. Let's just blame the next 20 years on a few months of cold weather and call it good.

This is not investment advice.
