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.

Thanks for the information provided. I think that the most important fact is that the economy is developing and growing and the speed of growth is not that important. The most important is to see the progress and development in a right direction. However, many Americans still don’t have an opportunity to save money and use quick easy loans to make ends meet.
