Lots of new economic news coming out. Many of the pundits and news outlets that predicted an economic slow down as the result of the government ‘shut down’ were shocked when the economy reportedly grew 2.8 percent, and unemployment continues to decrease. What IS going on with the economy? It’s been one of the themes, lately, on the Bob Davis Podcasts to avoid telling you what to think. I try to ask the right questions and detail some of the information I collect on a day to day basis, in the hope that it helps you figure things out. While everyone’s concerned about the Federal Reserve creating INflation, could it be they are creating DEflation? What would that mean for us?
