Manufacturing’s Rise
“Davidson” submits:
Economic activity always is a composite of moving parts. Currently it appears we have more moving parts than usual. Indeed so! We have multiple policy shifts in the works with the potential for beneficial outcomes. But, if these occur, it will be likely a couple of years before the final outcomes are known with the path uncertain.

Equities Rise Should Continue……
“Davidson” submits:
Economic data and equity markets are highly correlated over time. The correlation is not day-to-day or even month-to-month as the media attempts to connect the dots on a daily basis, but over several years the connections become apparent. Along the way, there are many using market trends to predict the trend of the economy and the next few months, even days, of market prices.
“Davidson” submits:
Equity prices have a long history of rising on positive surprises. Many believe markets to be an ‘efficient’ pricing mechanism of all that is known and unknown. If they believe this, then it is surprising that they are willing to pay more for unexpected positive news.
