Inflation Adjusted Chart Of S&P 500 Earnings

The following is from Inflation Adjusted Chart Of S&P 500 Earnings

• It's no secret that it's bad out there. Today's chart helps provide some perspective as to the magnitude of the current economic decline. Today's chart illustrates that 12-month, as-reported S&P 500 earnings have declined over 80% over the past 18 months, making this by far the largest decline on record (the data goes back to 1936). In fact, real earnings have dropped to a level not seen since the 1930s and 40s – the back end of the Great Depression. While earnings have been struggling since Q3 2007, it was the latest quarter (Q4 2008 the first full quarter following the financial meltdown), where the real damage was done. During Q4 2008, the S&P 500 came in with its first negative earnings quarter ever and the amount lost during the quarter was more than the index has ever earned during a single quarter.

Gold Price Soars After Fed Announced Plans To Buy Treasuries!

On Financial Times: Gold prices rise on Fed plans to buy Treasuries

• Gold prices surged yesterday after the Federal Reserve announced plans to buy $300bn in US Treasuries as the central bank expanded its efforts to counter the financial crisis.
  
  The Fed's plans sparked concerns about the outlook for the dollar and inflation, pushing gold sharply higher.
  
  Gold leapt from its session low of $884.10 a troy ounce to a high of $942.90, a jump of 6.6 per cent.
  
  Later in the session, gold eased back to $939 for a gain of 2.7 per cent on the day.
  
  Prior to the Fed's move, Alan Heap of Citigroup said government policies of quantitative easing (increasing money supply to combat deflation) could have a strong impact on the gold price.

Let's see what happened!
