How is Karl calculating "Actual private economic GDP" in the graph he is fequently posting. Is he simply just subtracting deficit spending from Real GDP? thx.

Reported GDP - (delta government debt change as percentage of GDP) = actual GDP

Government spending that is funded (by taxes) counts. Unfunded government spending is simply a distortion to make GDP look better than it actually is.

thx for your reply,

So your using nominal GDP and the monthly statement of public debt from the UST.

It looks like this does not include Fannie and Freddie which only makes this whole thing worse.

Your are doing a great service educating the populace about our unsustainable path!

Correct. I can't get accurate numbers for Fan/Fred's actual exposure and they're not LEGAL liabilities.

Realized transfer payments to them, however, do show up in public debt (assuming those payments exceed Federal Revenue)

Question: what is the group's opinion of the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII)? Are there any AAII members here? Did you find it useful? Is it for more experienced investors, noobs (like myself), or do you think it offers decent for the money resources for both experienced and inexperienced?

Why wouldn't individuals band together for particular purposes? Whether for an Opera company, a union, or a corporation ... heck, isn't this group very similar to the AAII?

Spike: If it gaps up and then trades down to close below the open. It's a green day because it closed above the close of the day before but it closed below the open.

I would suggest that the black candlestick indicate an important candlestick or formation such as a dojo, harami, &c.

Traditionally, black candlesticks or filled in indicated downtrend & hollow ones up trend however most people have coloured them to red & green.

It looks like the two candlesticks you highlight form a pattern called an evening star which is a 3 stick pattern or possibly a harami cross which is a 2 stick pattern which may be why two are black. In a 3 stick pattern it is the second two that confirm the pattern.

I also note that you have another black candlestick earlier in the sequence which looks like a doji - where the open & close are very close or the same.
