GDP - Even Less Than Meets the Eye

Domestic economic output or GDP is well correlated with corporate profitability which in turn is the backbone of corporate stock and bond valuations. Disturbing economic data and trends may be ignored by the markets for the time being, but as an investor, you should have a deep understanding of economic growth trends as they ultimately dictate price.

" GDP - Even Less Than Meets the Eye " evaluates GDP from a different perspective. Economic growth has been weak since the so-called recovery began following the financial crisis. GDP on a per capita basis is even more grim and sheds additional light on the economy that is rarely discussed by those in the government and media touting economic resiliency.
