What a beautiful transition from one trend (in blue) to the other (in red)! I assure you that the data in black is actually there. You just need to look really closely for it.
I have bad news, good news, and more bad news.
1. The blue exponential growth trend failed.
2. Parabolic trends are even better!
3. Unless they're upside down.
So, on that note...
Hey world! We ain't done financially servicin' you yet!

If I were a international financial services company I'd be working real hard to get my business off of the US radar.
Side note: My latest post isn't showing on your blog bar on the left.
There it is. Pardon.
Yeah, well.... If I were green I'd be outraged - out RAGED - at the lack green trend-lines on this blog.

I see what you are doing here and it's not going to work!
If I start using green trend lines on my green charts, then nobody will see them. And if nobody sees them, then nobody will panic. And if nobody ever panics again, then prosperity goes to infinity and beyond!
Hold on, maybe it will work! You are a genius!! That's it! I'm changing the blog's name and updating all these charts! Woohoo!
Prosperity, baby. That's what I'm talking about! ;)

a trend that need not fail!
Though how it interacts with this:

is the curious bit.
At any rate,

zero growth = ZIRP I guess.
Troy,
If I had been put in a cave in 1980, was just now coming out, you handed me these charts, then I think my first questions would probably be...
Have scientists discovered a cure yet for the epidemic?
What? No epidemic? It seems too smooth to be a world war. Are we winning?
What? No war? Is it hyperinflation?
What? No inflation at all? Have the ice caps melted? Or is the world freezing over?
What? That's not it either? Did someone invent some really, really addicting video games?
Aha! I knew it! Hahaha! ;)
