5 Best Consumer Service Stocks To Invest In 2014

Vladimir Putin should hire a big name U.S. economist to talk turkey with him on the strategic consequences of low GDP momentum. I don�� think Bernanke would take the job and Paul Krugman is relocating from Princeton to join the City University of New York. Maybe Larry Summers is available, part time.

Discount a repeat chapter, namely resumption of the Cold War between us and the Ruskies. After all, we buried them in terms of our GDP growth vs. theirs for decades. The Berlin Wall breached, torn down into rubble as the Soviet Union imploded over 20 years ago.

Gorbachev then realized his country couldn�� keep pace with our GDP momentum and armaments spending. We talked the talk. Russia had to commit too big a percentage of GDP to armaments, not TV sets and washing machines. You can�� do this forever unless you��e North Korea, which feeds the military but starves its citizens. Cuba�� GDP growth rate is zilch, too.

All Putin has going for him in terms of trade is energy, mainly natural gas pumped into Euroland. In coming years, we could change our stance and allow more energy exports. Research suggests we��l have the capacity to produce 2 million more barrels in the outer years.
