Don’t Let Europe Completely Out Of Your Sight

Life is great right now, what with endless stock market gains to be had, and the rich spoils of steak and lobster dinners to be enjoyed in celebration therein. It’s all gravy boats and paradise here in the United States.

But I would caution you to keep an eye on Europe, even as I have.

The latest growth reports coming from the troika were nothing less than abysmal, once again. This is what happens when you pretend like the nail lodged in your eye socket is nothing more than in need of good marketing and a little “confidence”.

The growth expectations of European leadership that seem to get published religiously ever six months are nothing short of a riot. If their word had any bearing on when economic growth in Europe will kick back off again, it never would have stopped. Think about that, for a minute.

Life is just great now, and I’m not going to stop tasting the champagne because of little things like looming global poverty. But somewhere in the back of your subconscious, reserve a little space for recollecting that millions of unemployed, twenty year old males is not a recipe for success. Crusades have been built out of less.
