Retail sales...bad news


Retail sales jumped +0.6% in June. But do not get too excited. Retail sales were up +2.7% y/y, which is what happens when the economy is in a recession (see above chart).

The point is the economy is still growing slowly. This situation creates risks and opportunities.


Investment implications are discussed in depth in each issue of The Peter Dag Portfolio.
