Two major headwinds for the economy

 

 

The economy will grow slowly. Why? Because two major sectors of the economy have reached a cyclical top.

The above charts shows two graphs: housing starts (red line, right scale) and auto sales (blue line, left scale).

The two lines show both markets have reached a saturation point, as I discussed in detail in The Peter Dag Portfolio. These two sectors will grow very slowly.

Their slow growth will be two major headwinds for the economy.

You will find more details on how these ideas apply to portfolio management in The Peter Dag Portfolio on www.peterdag.com
