Individual stocks going up does not mean anything.
Most indexes are flat or ~-1% since the start of the year.
Furthermore markets are not representative of how well the economy is doing, especially with the inflated asset prices we have today.

>>128373408
>Should I take all my money out of the bank?

Your money should be in the stock market. You should take it out of there and put it in an Ally account, which returns 1% interest

After the market crashes, put it all back in to an S&P 500 index fund and let it ride.

If you had done this at the bottom of the crash in 2009 you would have tripled your money in 8 years

Yes there were less jobs created last month.

What do you think is behind the drop in construction?

>- U.S. construction spending recorded its biggest drop in a year in April as investment in both private and public projects fell, but a sharp upward revision to the prior month's data pointed to underlying strength.

The Commerce Department said on Thursday that construction spending tumbled 1.4 percent. Spending in March was revised to show it jumping 1.1 percent to a record $1.24 trillion.

Economists polled by Reuters had forecast construction spending increasing 0.5 percent in April after a previously reported 0.2 percent drop in March. Construction spending increased 6.7 percent from a year ago.

>U.S. construction fell in April by the largest amount in a year, reflecting weakness in homebuilding, non-residential construction and government projects.

The Commerce Department reported Thursday that construction spending fell 1.4 percent in April, the biggest drop since a 2.9 percent fall in April of last year. The decline left spending at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $1.22 trillion.

Construction activity has been one of the bright spots for the economy over the past year, and the big decline in April is expected to be temporary. Analysts are forecasting that construction will provide continued fuel for the economy in the coming year.

Malls are underrated. They're great if you live somewhere cold and shitty (like Chicago or Seattle for example) and you want to walk around a bit in a well lit, uplifting open environment with tons of high school girls walking around in yoga pants and such. I would have been depressed as fuck during Seattle winters were it not for the malls there. Also, they're the only place that you can get these delicious pretzels and that cheap, salty, Americanized teriyaki chicken.

Here's a better article imo.

The U.S. Conference Board’s consumer confidence index had dropped a bit in April. The index for May is set to be released next week, shedding light on whether the confidence has topped, albeit at the highest levels since the 2000. It is still a mystery as to why sentiment is elevated but spending is so subdued. This is perhaps partly explained by no inflation-adjusted wage gains.

Also, consumer concerns regarding the economics concept of permanent income might be a contributing factor. Rising confidence is usually a very late-cycle phenomenon that comes after pent-up demand has been released when jobless rate is low and when stock prices are high.

Meanwhile, the U.S. construction spending is expected to have recovered in April from a slight drop in March that followed a very solid beginning to 2017, said Scotiabank in a research report.

Looks like states looking to streamline their outdated legislation.

>Pennsylvania has lots of old laws.

Take the 1933 liquor monopoly. Or its 1936 “temporary” (yet still in place) 18 percent Johnstown Flood Tax.

You’re likely aware of ongoing efforts to bust the monopoly to get our slouching-toward-insolvency state more money.

Well, here comes another old-timer: the Separations Act of 1913.

It’s one more controversial thing Pennsylvania does — because it always has — that might not make much sense anymore.

It mandates that public construction projects of $4,000 or more (and, yes, that number has been the same for 104 years now) have separate contracts for plumbing, electrical and such, instead of just one contract.

Know how many other states do that? Two: New York and North Dakota.

Know how many private-sector jobs run that way? Apparently none.

So there’s an argument that many contracts instead of one means inefficiency, delays, litigation and cost overruns on state, municipal and school construction.

Pittsburgh attorney David Scotti, a nationally recognized construction law expert, says there’s “no doubt” that the law drives up cost: “If this was economically smart, you’d see the private sector doing it.”

It seems the so-called experts weren't basing their predictions for new construction projects for next month on nothing...

>Dive Brief:

Demand for design services stayed positive for a third-straight month, despite falling back in April, with the American Institute of Architects' latest Architecture Billings Index coming in at 50.9 for the month, compared to 54.3 in March and 50.7 in February. The ABI is an indicator of future construction spending with a nine- to 12-month lead.
Within the index, the institutional sector saw its fourth-consecutive month of growth at a score of 54.0 in April. The multifamily residential and mixed-practice sectors, however, dropped slightly, with the multifamily category dipping below the breakeven point to a score of 49.9, and the mixed-practice segment dipping modestly to a reading of 53.4. The commercial/industrial sector rebounded in April to a score of 52.4, reaching above the breakeven point for the first time since January.
The sub-index tracking project inquiries increased to a score of 60.2 in April from 59.8 in March. Design contracts also grew modestly, from 52.3 in March to 53.2 in April.

About three-quarters of American construction spending is done by the private sector. Of that, around half goes to nonresidential building, which includes everything from hospitals to power plants to hotels to oil wells to churches. The chart below compares nominal spending on each of the three main components against total gross domestic product for ease of reading:

The share of investment in “improvements” of residential structures has soared in the past decade, peaking at 56 per cent in 2011, although it’s come down a bit since then as house prices and homebuilding recovered.

One likely explanation for the divergence from historical norms is that the post-crisis plunge in mortgage rates encouraged those who still had positive home equity to refinance and keep spending on new kitchens and hot tubs. At the same time, the overall drop in home values discouraged builders from putting up more units.

In that situation, measuring the productivity of the construction sector by looking solely at housing starts would overstate the post-crisis decline, but not by much. The chart below shows that inflation-adjusted spending on residential structures has returned to where it was twenty years ago even when including the resilience of spending on renovations:

>>128371755
Yea man this has been a long time comming, we cant support every single state and federal employee doing 20 years and retiring with a 75k a year salary anymore.

>>128377785
tl;dr; Mexicans fucked us

>Following the sharp downturn and housing bust of the late 1980s and early 1990s, the housing sector apparently experienced a rare burst of productivity growth. Employment fell by 8 per cent between the start of 1991 and the end of 1992, but real output grew by 26 per cent. Remarkably, builders were able to hold onto those gains through the end of 2005, although they somehow managed to avoid the productivity growth the rest of the economy experienced in the 1990s and early 2000s. By this measure, productivity plunged during the housing bust, because output fell by 56 per cent while employment “only” dropped by 27 per cent.

Some have argued the actual drop in the workforce was bigger but isn’t captured in the official statistics because of the large share of illegal immigrants who worked in the industry when times were good and left the country when new orders dried up. That would make the productivity decline in the crisis look less severe, but it would also imply that homebuilding productivity was falling during the bubbly years, perhaps by a lot.

So it probably makes sense to discount the big drop in 2006-2009 and the partial recovery since. However, it’s likely that the current productivity numbers are comparable to the early and mid-1990s, because most of the growth in the illegal population occurred since then. In other words, a gradual but relentless decline rather than a steep drop.

You didn't miss out on much.

Malls were OK back in the 1980s when the Internet wasn't a thing. Now you'd most likely just be bored.

Putting it all together, average output per worker in residential construction since the start of 2013 is about 12 per cent lower than the stable average in the 1990s. That’s not quite as dramatic as what you would get by simply comparing housing starts against total construction employment, but it is still remarkable. After all, the tendency in most fields is for productivity to go up, not down. The fact it remained flat for years and then dropped that much reflects a highly unusual combination of excessive access to labour, bad management, insufficient investment in technology, and increasing red tape.

Taking the longer view, and using a slightly different perspective, the chart below compares the changes in the price index used to deflate investment in residential structures to the overall GDP deflator. In other words, how much has productivity in the homebuilding industry lagged behind gains in the total US economy? A lot:

verdict:

>It’s not clear what can be done to improve the output of the homebuilding sector, much less the construction sector more generally, which, according to the data, suffers from the same problems. Realising that the problem has more to do with processes and equipment than labour shortages, however, would be a good first step.

Regarding Trump's pick for the Fed...

This might not sound like someone inclined to support the monetary policies desired by a self-professed “low-interest rate person”. However, it’s also worth noting that Goodfriend’s opposition to balance sheet expansion is paired with a radical willingness to embrace deeply negative rates. Negative rates are the one policy option Fed officials have studiously avoided discussing in public even though they have been adopted by the European Central Bank, the Bank of Japan, the Swedish Riksbank, and of course the Swiss National Bank.

Goodfriend presented on the subject at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City’s economic symposium at Jackson Hole in 2016. To Goodfriend, refusing to let nominal interest rates drop below zero is analogous to the gold standard and exchange rate pegs:

>The zero interest bound is an encumbrance on monetary policy to be removed, much as the gold standard and the fixed foreign exchange rate encumbrances were removed, to free the price level from the destabilizing influence of a relative price over which monetary policy has little control—in this case, so movements in the intertemporal terms of trade can be reflected fully in interest rate policy to stabilize employment and inflation over the business cycle.

>>128379307
>Of course, deeply negative interest rates are difficult to impose when paper money exists as an alternative. Even after costs of storage, the effective lower bound probably isn’t much below -1 per cent. Goodfriend’s proposed solution to this challenge is truly radical (emphasis ours):

>>128379479
>The zero bound encumbrance on interest rate policy could be eliminated completely and expeditiously by discontinuing the central bank defense of the par deposit price of paper currency. The central bank would still stand ready to exchange bank reserves and commercial bank deposits at par; and it could stand ready to convert different denominations of paper currency at par. However, the central bank would no longer let the outstanding stock of paper currency vary elastically to accommodate the deposit demand for paper currency at par.
Instead the central bank could grow the aggregate stock of paper currency according to a rule designed to make the deposit price of paper currency fluctuate around par over time. The paper currency growth rule would utilize: i) historical evidence relating currency demand to GDP, ii) the estimated interest opportunity cost sensitivity of the demand for currency relative to GDP, and iii) the GDP growth rate.
The reason to abandon the pegged par deposit price of paper currency is analogous to the aforementioned reasons for abandoning the gold standard and fixed exchange rate: it is to let fluctuations in the deposit demand for paper currency be reflected in the deposit price of paper currency so as not to destabilize the general price level…The deposit price of paper currency would adjust flexibly much as floating exchange rates adjust to equilibrate the foreign exchange market when international interest rates differ from each other. More relevant, the flexible deposit price of paper currency would behave as it actually did when the payment of paper currency for deposits was restricted in the United States during the banking crises of 1873, 1893, and 1907.

In other words, the value of a paper dollar would no longer be guaranteed. It may say $10 on the front but if the policy rate were -10 per cent the piece of paper would only be worth $9. Here’s his conclusion (emphasis ours):

If the zero bound were removed completely, then interest rate policy could enable the public to enjoy the benefits of a fully stable purchasing power of money. Credibility against inflation is tied to credibility against deflation—the central bank would no longer shrink from action against inflation for fear of having to fall back with little room to act against recession…With inflation credibly under control, the public could safely hold long term nominal bonds free of inflation risk and minimize its exposure to negative short term interest rates.
Thus, we can imagine a mutually reinforcing equilibrium in which the public extends the maturity of its savings and the central bank with the public’s support is free to pursue negative nominal interest rate policy on occasion to act against a deflationary contraction in employment and output. The idea of negative nominal interest rates takes some getting used to, but it should be possible to persuade the public that such flexibility is well worth it to provide better employment security and more secure lifetime savings.
