Surprised by the Economic Surprise Index? I wasn't. I called it all along.

Everyone is all shocked that Citi's Economic Surprise Index is showing a massive amount of upside surprises.

Who was calling this for months, even when all the "experts" were gloomy and pessimistic as hell?

Me!

Was no surprise to anyone reading this blog or who is a subscriber to my report, MMT Trader.

Economic Surprise Index plummets

And no wonder...fiscal cliff, debt ceiling, payroll tax increase, upcoming sequester. There's a lot that's weighing on economy now.
