I'm also not entirely convinced that private equity wouldn't welcome a crash from time to time: improves the terms they can demand for an investment round to distressed companies. Their time horizons are longer than quarterly preoccupation of public markets. Right. If they are sitting on a ton of cash. I don't know if that's the case now.

Jorma Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Fedhead Bullard also said Q3 will be the best GDP ever. Meaning largest rise. He said 20% (annual growth rate) Q1 is now pegged at minus 5% and Q2 minus 32%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

potatohead Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Ok. Maybe someone can comment on the following. Lee and I reached out to Brent Johnson and George Gammon on twitter. There was a big discussion whether QE is money printing and whether it is inflationary. I believe QE is money printing and it is one of the main drivers of this entire market going back to the Greenspan days. Steven Van Metre was asked to comment. He says the following: "No part of QE is inflationary. It pulls liquidity out of the system and removes the ability of the banks to sell bonds to drive interest rates higher. By design, QE leads to lower interest rates and lower rates are deflationary until lending growth returns." His video can be seen here The video makes little sense when comparing prior market and economic events to his vacuum thesis. He bases his definition of money and QE on the Federal Reserve act and does not look at open market operations and other programs. Have a great weekend.

DrStool Posted August 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 I don't pay attention to that nonsense. Of course printing money is designed to bring down interest rates. I put my two cents into a couple of twitter threads where this stupidity was raging and not one person bothered to engage. My advice would be not to waste your time. Life is too short.

Mental masturbation at its worst. It wastes valuable time. I turn 70 in November. I don't have the time or the patience for this gibberish and I don't want people wasting time on it. I just don't want to see pointless, circular discussions here. Capiche? If you have a direct question for me, I'm happy to answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrStool Posted August 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 As long as the Fed prints enough money to fund the debt, I don't see much point about speculating on a top, at least until the TA shows some signs of one. It's probably also a good bet that the Trump Regime will use its $1.6 trillion cash hoard to do whatever it takes to keep stocks rising until the election. The Treasury has even told us that it will spend $800 billion of it in September. Didn't say how, but you know how Trump loves to bray about the stock market.

DrStool Posted August 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 https://t.co/NHn1cbbx3f?amp=1 It was a scene familiar in American history: agents of the state conscripting armed white vigilantes to help violently suppress movements for racial justice and liberation.

DrStool Posted August 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 This is exactly how the Nazis took control of Germany in 1933. Rioting, violence, mobs. They always made it look like, or possible to blame the others, in particular the Jews. Now it's BLM and antifa, the second being a group which doesn't even exist. Against the backdrop of increasing disorder in the streets of America's cities, the stock market will keep rising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
