GDP Numbers Very Political
InvestEveryMonth replied to InvestEveryMonth's topic in Market News & Analysis
I like when the markets move, but I want them to move based on accurate information. Otherwise we are just engaging in false information bubble investing and we all know where that leads. I wouldn't say, "I don't care if Ken Lay is lying about the numbers. As long as he continues to pump up the Enron stock, I'm happy." Now, many people are no longer happy that the rise in Enron stock was based on false information. -
The new GDP numbers came out today. While the forecast had been a drop of around 5%, the number released today was a drop closer to 3%. The GDP number is expected to worsen during revisions. Can't we just have an accurate GDP number? Why are these numbers so political and crafted to what the politicians want to see? Why do we put so much stock into the GDP numbers?
