Food for thought once again.
Replying to @jburnmurdoch
More importantly, if we break productivity down into its components — output and employees — we see the US acceleration starting 2022 is primarily a tech layoffs story. Output remained on trend, and unlike other sectors/countries where employment flatlined, in US tech it fell and has kept falling in a straight line.

Aus aktuellem Anlass ein kleines Beispiel aus Mikroökonomik: Toyz produziert Spielzeugautos und verkauft sie im Shop um € 5 pro Stück. Die Regierung findet das zu teuer und will, dass die Kunden höchstens € 3 dafür bezahlen müssen. Was kann sie nun tun? 1/5

This is a clear disadvantage for the US with its high leverage.
The gap between benchmark borrowing costs in the US and China has reached its widest level ever, threatening to accelerate a shift in capital flows between the world’s two biggest economies. ft.trib.al/ErVDopv

The US needs a lot of money: 1. Government deficit (5-8% of GDP) 2. Private (close to alltime low) 3. Companies (Capex) One (likely) source is external (from abroad) financing. But it means large capital imports and by implication a (big) current account deficit.

5Y performance (in LC) through 31.07.2026: - MSCI EMU: 65% - MSCI USA: 75% - European Banks: 321% - Mag 7: 189% - Semis: 256% PE European banks: 11. Conclusion: hype vs. reality & the stock market is not the economy.

Interessante Taktik von Vollering und Reusser. Hoffentlich gewinnt KN am Ende die Tour.

Models and applications are the driver of all the CAPEX and the high margins in the other areas.
