GDP raised unexpectedly and the stock market jumped yesterday, is it a good sign?  Far from it.  Do not forget that this GDP is inflated by the handouts, the so call rebates and bonuses.   Frankly this is worse, inflating an already to burst balloon.   The stock market cheered too early, it did not see that the GDP raise is an anomaly.   Something that the Chinese called, slapped your faced till you are swollen and call yourself a fatty.  To put on an appearance.   The economy was inflated artifically, GDP was inflated artifically.  You cant do that forever.   The next few months will see tapering off of spendings as consumers already bought what they had wanted and had no money or no requirements to buy more.  The GDP for the subsequent will hence be affected far more, not just by the slow down but also by the artificial infusion of money earlier on.  It would be a double whammy which would lead on to a worse bubble burst.
