This makes sense, but the fools at ZH dismiss it with self-righteous indignation.

It's been over three years and they're still waiting for their doomsday moment.

@ Joe,

Right. They get everything backwards.

So does corporate earnings. It's a pretty strong correlation

Wouldn't prices in general be correlated with Deficits?

It would be interesting to see if there is a correlation with wages too.

I don't see this as a strong correlation, sometimes it is strong positive, sometimes strong negative and most of the time zero. What does it tell us? I think not much.
