[Beware of How the False Market Narrative Works to Separate You from Your Money](
by Lee Adler
Editor's Note: Classic Sure Money Article - Here's one of the best issues from Lee Adler calling out the clear pretenses of the hyped market narrative. Lee cautions readers to know the real signs of a weakening market to protect investments.
Dear Sure Money Investor,
Every day the financial infotainment media feels obligated to come up with a reason for that day's gyrations in the stock market. Since I'm in France these days, I like to call it the "raison du jour." It's kind of like the daily special at the local lunch counter, the soup du jour. Only it's not the "soup of the day;" it's the reason of the day. Or more often, the "excuse du jour." No need to translate that!
Lately, the excuse du jour, has been the idea that investors are worried about a weakening economy. Now, the Wall Street PR flacks usually modify that as a weakening global economy, and certainly, I've seen plenty of evidence for that in my regular tracking of European banking system data for many months. So there's some truth in that.
Whether it's the impetus for the US stock market downtrend, is another matter. You know what I think. It's not the economy, it's the liquidity!
But what about the excuse du jour for the bond market rally and the crash in US Treasury yields. The rationale, or what's commonly called the market "narrative," for that is that the US economy is weakening, and that that will lead to lower inflation, lower bond yields, and looser Fed policy.
Is there any truth to that narrative, and should it matter to us as stock investors and traders? Because if it's not true, then Wall Street is leading you down the garden path, as always doing its best to separate you from your money.
Lucky for you, you're reading Sure Money and have access to the best data there is to assess the current state of the US economy. What makes it even better than conventional economic data is that it's real time, it's unmassaged, and nobody, but nobody pays any attention to it except us! So we are able to stay ahead of the crowd.
[So let's take a look at it!](
Sincerely,
Lee Adler
