Quote of the Day: Tim Duy On The Fragile Economy

At Fed Watch

Bottom Line:  With all attention focused on the Greek drama, plus the well-received Q3 GDP report, it has been easy to overlook the underlying fragility in the US economy.  This was especially the case when US equities looked to be on a nonstop trip to the moon.  Perhaps the US economy can squeak through the next few quarters, and perhaps, in contrast to my expectations, Europe is able to bring an end to the crisis with limited collateral damage to the economy.  But I can't shake the feeling that the US economy closer to running on fumes than is commonly believed, and will run out of gas in a very hostile global environment.
