Just a thought captain. The three peaks on the chart, each one lower than the one before. A hopeful sign of change would be breaking that long trend.
Just waiting now to see where this is going. The overall world economy seems mixed. China slowed, and seems Europe is awash in problems with immigrant. All distractions. However the U.S. seems to be pretty much rocking along as energy cost lower and anyone that is willing to work can find work.
I am retiring in December from teaching and looking forward to it. :-)
