Our friends at Visual Capitalist drew attention to this awesome visual, but we had to source the information for posting on our website at YouTube from Earthbyte …
Here is the Visual Capitalist
Here is the YouTube site for Earthbyte
This is worth 40 seconds IMHO
Very cool and helps understand the Earthquake frequency better!
Enjoy and thanks again Visual Capitalist and Earthbyte!

We have noted multiple times to expect some roaring Economic Numbers, which is not a super prescient call due to easy year over year comparisons and the world actually reopening…. (Our curiosity is how this data is digested by Governments, Forecasters and Market Participants)
We ran across a neat Goldman micro time GDP chart recently, that has left our sight grrrrr, but is a quarter by quarter estimate that is fascinating…. we will likely find it eventually and present it here…
For now, we wanted to show this three year global GDP (Gross Domestic Production-Blunt Economic Growth Measurement) from the IMF (International Monetary Fund) –
The IMF, just like any organization misses in Forecasts …. it is not in stone, but this is a very interesting three year, more high level look at the globe as it reopens….
This chart was a slider and can be found directly at our friends from Visual Capitalist Here–
Year 2020 Findings we find most interesting:
USA GDP Contracts only 3.3% Wow
Global Average the same 3.3% Contraction – Wow Wow
Year 2021 ESTIMATES
Note USA estimated Growth of 6.4% – surprising low
IMF World rebound Estimate of 6% – again, surprisingly low
Year 2022 ESTIMATES – The farther you go the harder they are!
IMF US Estimate at 3.5%
Global Estimate 4.4% –
Not really what to think of this…. both seem off to us ! Clearly a USA Laggard Estimate!
This will be marked as forecast and we can look back and see how good or bad the estimates were!
Have a Great “Multi Year Global GDP Estimate” Day!

We love to break the monotony of the usual Financial “Stuff” with an off topic just to keep it fun…. Fortunately there are some really interesting and unusual charts that grab our attention frequently!
Our friends and Visual Capitalist continue to push out some of the neatest charts ever ….

We ran across this neat chart below from “HowMuch.net, a financial literacy website”… which stunned us.
The comparison growth of student loan growth versus other types of debt is amazing.
For the record we are huge fans of higher education, but not the debt that may come with it.
So we set off to see if there were a cause and effect for the above chart…
Thanks to our friends at Visual Capitalist the following chart answers a lot.
The small blue shaded area is inflation, compared to how fast Tuitions have increased… No wonder the gigantic growth in Student Debt…
Have a Great “Cause and Effect” Day!

After a fairly heavy February Review post and looking back into February’s posts …. seeing a lot of heavy … we intentionally went very light and much to the happiness of 13 year old, who is a regular gamer..
From our Friends at Visual Capitalist – Wow they really do great work!
Amazing, but not surprising how much Mobile (red) makes up now and looks to continue dominating other devices.
Have a Great “Gaming History” Day!

This neat chart here from our friends at Visual Capitalist shows interesting facts of a family favorite Airbnb..
The third chart is most interesting to us…. the huge number of listed rooms, which is not surprising upon further thought of the business model… individuals homes or second homes.
Have a Great “Airbnb Reviewed” Day!

With Black Friday and Cyber Monday… just on our rear view mirrors…. the following neat chart from our friends at Visual Capitalist made its way to the inbox…. AND the shift key continues to cause problems.
For those that missed the November Video, the laptop shift key works inconsistently which causes major problems with strong passwords and you really never know how many thing need capitalized until you lose the shift key…haha
As you receive this, a new keyboard is being installed… lookout longer posts.
Have a Great Bricks versus Cyber Day!

One of the favorite ways to start the day in our household includes a small, but very rewarding cup of coffee!
Usually only one, first thing in the AM … anything later in the day leads to extended tossing and turning along with sleepy but not sleeping views on the ceiling…
As we head into a Weekend, our friends at Visual Capitalist hit us with a neat coffee chart!
Have A Great Friday … Halloween (Be Safe) and Weekend … here is your chart !

The US Dollar, Trading Pairs, Exchanges, Foreign Holdings …. Very Dominate!
This chart popped into our in box earlier this month and is a great example for those that may wonder just how dominant the US Dollar is around the world.
It is easy to find folks that worry about the US dollar and it’s reign as the world currency….
Of course, anything can happen, but the following Chart shows is dominance at this time.
