Housing is in Poor Shape
28 Jun 2009Despite what the NARs talking heads spout to the MSM at every data release, housing has not turned a corner. The related article includes a good explanation of what the charts show. For discussion check out Ritholtz’s post on the same article.
Credit Card Hell
28 Jun 2009Anyone else think the recent “reforms” didn’t address the problem of many people’s credit cards, namely the usurious interest rates? Spotted over at Ritzholtz.
Where Are We From?
28 Jun 2009I missed this back in march but just spotted a reference at Infographics. The NYT took 120 years of immigration data and threw it perfectly at a map – you can filter by country of origin, then move through time with the slider.

Yet Another Recovery Index
In: Bailout Employment Finance Housing Updated regularly US Economy
22 Jun 2009This one from Kiplinger. Pretty standard stuff – a color-coded summary and charts for each of six components. Uses a pretty weak (but easy to understand) recovery threshold: “When at least three of the six indicators go fully positive — with a check mark from us — it’s more than likely that the recession has ended.” The "watch for" section of each indicator are interesting.
Weird Green Shoots
22 Jun 2009Not really a graphic (though there is a slideshow version), Kiplinger lists 10 Quirky Economic Indicators, from movie attendance to alligators and mosquitoes.
States Facing Budget Crisis
22 Jun 2009The article is more interesting than the graphic.

Oil Speculation
19 Jun 2009THE oil market is behaving like a bucking bronco again, and politicians are once more blaming speculators for careening prices. It is difficult to assemble a definitive explanation for the rally: a weak dollar helps oil prices, but evidence for improving supply and demand remains thin. Positions held on NYMEX, the New York commodities exchange, have indeed soared.
