Did they really mean to put "economic growth" in both directions?

Although this is probably the first time I have seen a chart such as this, I am not all surprised that different countries are in different phases of the business cycle.

No I'm dissing the graph. Without the down arrow labeled "growth" it would be obvious. The down arrow seriously confused me, and serves absolutely no purpose but to make things more vague. It's hard to trust the economic analysis of someone who doesn't know how to properly label a graph.MangoMan wrote:You're dissing my explanation to you of the seemingly obvious?dragoncar wrote:Someone call Edward TufteMangoMan wrote: Downward pointing arrow means negative growth.

Possibly. But I'd still hedge the currency with DXJ instead of EWJ.MangoMan wrote: The chart would suggest that the best thing to own right now are European [periphery] and Japanese stocks. Coincidentally, Decision Moose switched from EDV to EWJ over the weekend.
