What's up... with capital goods?

Durable goods orders rose today, more than analysts expected. But as Marketplace Senior Editor Paddy Hirsh explains to Reporter Adriene Hill, you've gotta look at capital goods orders for the real story.

I think the videos would be way better if you simply uploaded the video of the whole discussion, (even if it doesn't require the whiteboard) instead of cutting it up into a few pictures, which is distracting, I find that I need to scroll down to fully listen in.

@panpiper The very hoarding is what causes a depression. So they will indeed be right, unfortunately. :-(

[Panpiper]

@isreasontaboo And what if they are right, that the economy is in a long term depression? They could spend those cash reserves and find themselves bankrupt when it turns out there is not market for those investments to reap returns on. Just having all those companies suddenly spending their cash and investing would not be a magic bullet that would automatically save the economy, as it might very well be that the businesses that are in a slump are there due to being in the wrong business.

The question is, has the recent market correction priced in the ~1% capital goods preparation by companies of the future slowing down.
