Some, and perhaps more than we imagine, economic sectors are immune to the failing economic policies of the Obama Regime. Those industries being driven by the dominant global trends should be somewhat resilient to the ongoing economic problems of the U.S. However, none will totally escape as the U.S. is such an important economic center of consumption. How do investors escape this reliance on U.S. economic activity level? The answer is, quite simply, Agri-Food.
Investors, particularly those in the U.S., are being exposed to a grand period of illusory economic statistics. The U.S. Federal Reserve has injected more than a trillion dollars into that financial system. Doing so has managed to halt the process of economic collapse. The U.S. economy now bobbles up and down at the bottom of the abyss. However, no energies have been released that will cause true growth, not illusory growth, to manifest itself. Obama Regime's high tax, anti growth approach will not do the trick.
An example of the economic statistics likely to be used to fool investors is that of U.S. economic growth. Note that an out of work individual unable to buy an imported television or foreign-made clothing could cause U.S. GDP statistics to appear as if improving. Due to magic of the math of economics, an out of work individual NOT buying an imported television causes U.S. net exports to be less negative and, therefore, U.S. GDP growth becomes positive. Obama Regime and investment hucksters will make much of this.
