It's ALL about risk versus reward.

"Blue (color may be incorrect) line generates income to pay interest on red (color may be incorrect) line. See the problem? It's just math. #Weimar #FourthTurning #Gotgold" - Lawrence Lepard Oct. 15 2019 via twitter.
Money velocity after removing government expenditure is still correlated to inflation. It's not the current number, it's the rate of change. Recently, some on Twitter have stated low M2V means there is not a correlation between velocity and inflation; it's the rate of change.
IF you remove government expenditures from GDP, you get a more accurate GDP, and a better correlation to inflation. Notice how the highs line up well. This correlation also exists for money velocity and money supply.
#GDP is in SERIOUS trouble as it hasn't had previously this much difficulty out pacing inflation (momentum loss).

Yes, I believe so. The collapse of the Russian economy will hit Europe and Asia a lot harder than the United States. It's hard for the ECB's hawkishness to be taken seriously when Europe can't even get their hands on natural gas, oil or corn. The US is coming off the backs of very accommodative stimulus and Americans consumers are ready to spend. American...
Until U.S. debt loads get to more normalized levels (below 80%) and the 10Y treasury yield has a far enough spread from the short-end of the curve, the Federal Reserve's hand is almost forced in what they can do from a rate tightening perspective.

In contrast to the Wilshire 5000, the numerator in the chart above includes the total value of public and private equities. However, it only gets published quarterly and therefore is always lagging a bit behind. On the upside, it has data going back to the 1940s, thereby providing a more historical perspective.
