Artificially inflated stock prices right now because we've had near 0 interest rates and have printed money like mad for years and years
Essentially, the stock market was pumped because of a huge increase in the money supply, but that huge increase in the money supply has also led to our inflation woes
The only way to fix inflation is to fix the problem of having too much money chasing too few goods. The Fed can't do a whole lot to remedy that other than to raise interest rates
Problem is, the slow raising of rates they've done so far hasn't done a whole lot to fix the problem, so they'll need to raise them way higher.
This means that all of those huge institutions won't be making free money by investing in the stock market because their loans will have a higher interest rate vs their return, so they'll pull their money and then it all goes kaput.
We have a ton of room to freefall at this point because the market is incredibly overvalued. Institutions were essentially getting free gains for years because of low interest loans. They weren't investing because the stocks they invested in were worth a ton, but because it gave them 10 percent returns for doing nothing
Obama 100 percent kicked the can down the road. That administration printed more money in a year than had ever been printed in the entire history of the federal reserve to bailout the banks
The answer to the question of why the fed would tank the economy is that they're stuck in between a rock and a hard place. If they don't raise rates at all, inflation soars. If they raise them high and rip the bandaid off, they crash the economy
Both look bad, which is why they've done neither. They're trying to do a "soft landing" but it isn't working. They're slowly inching up rates which has stalled the rate of inflation increasing, but we're still up 8.5% from last year.
They're really in a pickle. They don't want Biden to look bad, but they're only prolonging the inevitable.
The correct move would've been to raise rates much faster and to stop the reckless spending, but then Biden couldn't push his socialist BBB, Ukraine, and debt forgiveness policies
8.5 is the governments bogus number, remember they don't count food and fuel in the equation, more like13 to 15 % inflation.
Perhaps it is even higher than that. We have a hard time figuring the exact amount of inflation. Even economists are having a hard time nailing down a concrete number because there are too many levers being pulled to try to hide the increases. Products are coming out with smaller quantities at the same or only slightly higher prices (within the 8-10% rate range). The cost of daily items are hitting the lower income groups harder than the middle class, but the middle class is inching closer to lower class and many are closing the gap with credit. This is a very dangerous and temporary solution that bites back in the end and can be the final nail in the coffin for a very large number of people. A crash is definitely coming, but the results of the crash are unknown. The big cities are going to be very dangerous. Take care of yourselves pedes. Stock up and be prepared to weather the storm.
Great commentary. The Cabal never intended to fix the stock market problems or the endless fiat currency printing, though. The stock market was created to transfer the wealth of the common joe directly into the hands of the elite.
Invest your entire life's work and labor into a system that can crash and you'll have nothing. Here are numerous other investment "vehicles" you can use to protect yourself in the event of a "market downturn". Never mind the fact that the game is rigged (thanks SEC) to protect the market makers, brokerages, and hedge funds. And, based on fake monopoly worthless paper that has value only because the government says it does.
Meme stonks saga has shown us exactly what the stock market is. And when it crashes, it will be wiped out of existence.....because we don't need it to be prosperous. We need sound money based on real assets. In my opinion. I've hedged my bets by keeping my toes dipped in the pool, but I'd much rather own physical assets under my direct control.
We need a recession and we need high interest rates. Find a good online savings account and earn a good income. I want to see 10-15% return in a savings account. At $100,000 around $850 a month without dealing with tenants.
I don't see how that can happen , usually if it sounds too good to be true it is. What online bank can you trust? Seriously asking,.
They're not paying that kind of interest now but it could happen like back in the Reagan days. I will agree these swindlers need to be rounded up and incarcerated on an Island.
Also worth mentioning that any increase in interest rates risks triggering a housing crash because everyone is jacked to the tits on low interest mortgages. The only weapon the fed has against inflation was already DOA.
I've tried to explain that situation to a coworker, this has been a long standing thing, using bubbles to inflate the next bubble.
Like there was the dotcom bubble, then that bubble inflated the real estate bubble, and then use every trick they can to keep the music playing.
