VELOCITY OF MONEY
$ TRILLIONS POURED INTO "ECONOMY"? Evidently not, but it has been going into RISK ASSETS and we are certainly not getting much bang for the buck by this measure, the turnover of money in the economy
That's a great point. Remember, it does not matter how large the FED's balance sheet is, GDP growth also comes down to how fast the velocity of money is.
And it's the law of diminishing returns, but they are too stupid to change! What do banks need? Deposits...what attracts deposits? a decent interest rate paid for them..good luck with that in current 0% FED rate environment.
They are blowing ANOTHER BUBBLE, this market has NO business where it is.....that tells me many will look back and wonder AGAIN why they stayed too long for the party.
GDP is influenced by? stock market direction. COnsumer spending includes? gasoline purchases...

#2 PROFILE FOR MY MARKET "HOBBY" BLOG
I have been writing about stocks and the market since the late 90's. My record of calling the last 2 , now maybe 3 bear markets stands. There is more to investing than just avoiding bear markets, but it sure doesn't hurt. I offer NO recommendation to buy or sell equities or trade any vehicle...I just offer my opinion for what it's worth. Consult with your financial advisor before taking any actions. this financial blog is for amusement only.
