I see nothing and I don't have a Twitter account so maybe that has something to do with not seeing any link?

My first guess is that your ad blocker is doing this...

I turned the adblocker off and no different, even with a reboot.

No issues here with Chrome and Adblocker on my laptop.

I think my Chromebook is haunted. Some charts show, some don't. I give up.

Right click on the image, and Inspect. That shows you the link, and source of the image. Something on your system is blocking the display of the image.

Compound interest increases principal exponentially

Could you recast that graph on a logarithmic scale?

Now the bad thing is that debt is compounding at 8.6% and GDP is 2%, but interest rates are 1/3 of what they were so it is manageable so while debt will double by 2027 GDP wont double until 2055

STOXX 600 Europe Q3 2019 Earning Growth Projections

Jerome Powell 10/30/2019 : We would have to see a persistent and significant rise in inflation BEFORE we would even consider moving interest rates up again.

So, with that ammunition, one would be wise to assume the way out of the debt conundrum is by inflation

But what was being estimated a year ago? 9% earning Growth on Average:

The interesting thing of this chart is it is "Operating Earnings" not GAAP earnings. Actual GAAP earnings over the period from 1991 to 2019 grows by 5.5% per year (difference over the time period overstates ending earnings by 52% in 2019. That is the effect of management "adjustments", PE of the S&P500 in 1991 versus GAAP was 11 in 2019 it is 22.80

I don't know how a chart could be made from this, but....

In 1980, the TOTAL National Debt... not month or year... but the total National debt was under one Trillion dollars. It took 234 years to reach that level.

Last month, the national debt increased by 134 Biilion dollars in one month which would work out to about 1.6 Trillion dollars in a single year.

BTW.. we just reached 23 trillion two days ago.

Another way to look at it. In 1980 interest payments on the national debt were 1.84% of GDP. In 2018, they were 1.58% of GDP. In 1991, they were 3.15% of GDP. I think we're fine.

Feb 5 2018 was an extremely unusual day in the stock market for what reason?

 

[ERD50]

The day that people with a crystal ball would see we'd be up about 22% from there today?
