Stock Market Meltdown Megathread

[Jake Broe Stan]

Trying to put personal bias aside I think that at this point it’s more likely we hit new highs by year’s end than get a recession. I’m not necessarily saying I think that it’s much more likely or that I personally think that will happen but looking at all the indicators things are looking pretty good.

I’d say it’s also more likely that no recession happens at all compared to there being a recession in 2024.

The Fed has done their job wonderfully. They threaded the needle and now we are finally having people wake up to the fact that the inflation target should have been 3% all along.

The market should add breadth from here unless we get a black swan event.

Personally, I’m curious to see how T does over these next couple of quarters. I’d also be curious to know when the EPA is going to come out with a ruling on the lead sheathed cables.

Inflation ticking back up. 3 months in a row of higher inflation. Who would of thought that spending tons of printed money would cause inflation even with higher rates? I'm shocked. Are you guys shocked?

Inflation is easing and what we experienced was a result of COVID supply shortages and reshoring.

That's not good news. They still can't get it down to 2%

For the record, 2% is shit and still too high. A stable economy has 0 inflation.

You do realize that inflation is cumulative? Getting it back down to 2% isn't good enough. All the damage that the higher inflation has caused won't be repaired unless they deflate the economy for a year. We hit double-digit inflation so we need double-digit deflation to balance it out and get the economy back where it was.

Getting it back down to 2% and whistling a tune acting like nothing happened is bullshit. That's just theft. The Fed stole money from all our wallets and savings accounts by weakening the dollar and they need to give it back.

Lots of Red Ink at the Fed | Alex J. Pollock

The Federal Reserve has officially reported a loss of $57 billion for the first six months of 2023. Quite a number! So the “Federal Reserve Banks Combined Quarterly Financial Report as of June 30, 2023” (CQFR)—a little-known document—is especially notable for its red ink.

mises.org

To understand what is happening, we need to recall that in addition to being a media star as the manipulator of the world’s dominant currency, the Federal Reserve is a bank—well, actually 12 Federal Reserve Banks (FRBs), covering districts across the United States. Added together they are huge, with total assets of $8.3 trillion (with a T). The FRBs have loans, investments, deposits and borrowings, interest income and interest expense, and profit or loss like other banks do. They also have private shareholders: the commercial banks which are “Fed member banks,” and the FRBs have over them the Washington Federal Reserve Board, which charges them for its expenses.

The combined FRBs are intended to always be profitable because of their unique monopoly in issuing U.S. dollar paper currency. This is a very lucrative privilege which means together they have $2.3 trillion of zero interest cost funding from the dollar bills circulating around the country and the world, which they can invest in interest earning assets. (They print up some money and use it to buy Treasury bonds, simply said.) But instead of making profits, as the combined Fed reliably did for more than 100 years, it is now making giant losses, a historic reversal.

The CQFR shows that in the first six months of 2023 the combined Fed had $88 billion in interest income, but $141 billion in interest expense. So it paid out in interest $53 billion more than it received, and also had to pay its overhead expenses of over $4 billion.

Why doesn’t it have more interest income? Because the Fed engaged to the tune of about $5 trillion in one of the most classic of financial risks: borrowing short and lending long, and now interest rates have gone very far against it and the risk has turned into real losses.

The CQFR shows on page 22 that on June 30 the combined Fed owned $5.5 trillion in Treasury Securities with an average yield of 1.96%, and $2.6 trillion of mortgage-backed securities yielding on average 2.20%. In short, it invested in massive amounts of very long-term fixed rate assets and locked in for years a historically low yield of about 2%. Meanwhile, it was funding $5 trillion of these assets with floating rate deposits from banks and borrowings in the form of repurchase agreements, the cost of which rose to over 5%.

You don’t need a degree in banking or a Ph.D. in economics to know that lending money at 2% while you are borrowing money at 5% is a losing proposition. That is what our Federal Reserve Banks did and continue to do.

God I wish our leaders weren't inbred stupid fucks

I'm smarter than a stone age hick who lives in Venezuela. Why isn't anyone in the Fed?

The problem with our culture is it values social skills (which are inherently worthless) over technical skills (which are the only skills that have value)

I work in IT and have to work hard every day all the while my useless bosses who just talk all day long get paid six-figure incomes. Meanwhile I get paid in circus peanuts.

Yet when anything needs to get fixed, I'm the one that fixes it. Then they go back to talking.

Literally everything about your post is false.

If you want to have a debate about whether the target should be 2% or 3% then that’s one thing (although it should obviously be at least 3%) but the rest of that reads like you believe that men can have babies.

The Chairman is raising rates to lower inflation and inflation has gone up 3 months in a row in spite of that raising rates. People thought he'd stop raising rates at the next meeting but this uptick will force him to raise rates again. Bidenomics is going to kill the middle class of the country.

No he isn’t going to raise rates this next meeting and no inflation hasn’t “gone up” these past three months. As I’ve shown it’s continued down just as expected.

Bidenomics has nothing to do with the current inflation rate or past inflation rates. The current, and past, inflation rates are a direct result of shifting supply chains and deglobalization. We know government spending has nothing to do with those inflation rates because the government has continued to spend at the same rate and inflation rates have dropped significantly.

Bidenomics (national capitalism) is the sort of private sector industrial policy this country has been missing since WW2. It worked wonders then and it’s working wonders now as we are looking at 5% GDP growth this quarter in spite of the interest rates. Bidenomics has also accelerated reshoring, increased oil and gas supplies, and created 50 year lows in unemployment. Bidenomics is diversifying our energy consumption as well which is a huge win for the military if they need priority for petroleum products because a hot war breaks out.

The only downside to Bidenomics is that it didn’t start 50 years ago before boomers could sell out America’s middle class.

Biden, or his handlers in reality, have brought this country onto a war footing. It’s been long overdue and it’s exactly what putting America first means.

No they didn't. The minimum wage has been stagnant since 2009. Wages have not increased at all.

Every time the Fed prints a dollar - they have a dollar to spend. They have given themselves a free dollar. The value of that dollar came to them by devaluing all the other dollars in circulation. They stole the value of that dollar from everyone else who has dollars.

The cost of a cheeseburger went up because there is more demand for cheeseburgers which allows MCD to raise the price since they control the supply.

“Printing” money, which I’m guessing is your colloquial term for the amount of dollars in circulation, isn’t the same thing.

For example, right now the M2 supply (currency in circulation) is contracting rapidly while Congress is still spending more money via deficits.

Inflation is a private sector phenomenon that is a beneficial tool under most circumstances.

If you want to be taken seriously on this topic you should start by no longer using the term “printing money”.

You live in such a backwards reality that you’re crying about communism in America while describing authoritarianism. You don’t know up from down or left from right.

You might even be able to convince some people you care about freedom and criminality if you weren’t cheering on a communist dictator who is currently invading another country for the purposes of genocide.

If inflation was “too much currency chasing too few goods” then China would be experiencing hyperinflation right now instead of deflation especially considering they actively devalue their currency and their debt burden compared to The US.

Furthermore, inflation doesn’t mean that a currency is devaluing. Since COVID the dollar has gained value even while The US experienced above average inflation.

You’re retarded and stated my point for me. China’s debt to GDP ratio disproves the notion that “money printing” causes inflation. The same goes with their devaluing currency not causing inflation.

It’s not like The US isn’t out producing China with goods and services. We have a higher GDP with less debt. Inflation is driven by private companies because of mismatches in supply and demand. “Money printing” is not a problem for The US.
