Yes GDP Can Grow at 4 Percent

It has been nearly a decade since we had real economic growth in this economy. In fact, it has been nearly two decades. Tax reform and deregulation really can drive growth and it can in a big way. One percent in GDP growth is just $170 billion more in production per year. Do you really believe the economy is a two percent economy forever? I don’t. I find it hard to believe the economy can’t grow at 3 or 4 or even 5 percent again. Adding $170 billion to the economy doesn’t seem all that hard of a task, in the grand scheme of a $17 trillion economy.

Stock Prices Continue To Grind Higher

The S&P just continues to move higher, after breaking out late last week. Some investors seem to be scratching their head’s wondering just what it is going on? How can the market still be going up? It is called growth. Growth is a fantastic thing, and as long as the economy can continue to expand and earnings can continue to grow, the stock market can continue to rise.
