Ep.110 Real Conversations: Global Chaos Ahead. Buckle Up (with Jim Rickards).

[@seriouslyyoujest1771]

President Biden canceled the keystone pipeline his first day in office. Two days later Saudi Arabia raise the price of oil 42%. Within two weeks, groceries, and the price of gas at the pump doubled for me. One month after his first day in office, Putin, invaded Ukraine. They MSM, in unison, blamed inflation on Putin’s invasion, Ukraine. I thought of the words at the end of Hemingway’s book The Sun Also Rises, when one of the characters was discussing how much fun they had. To which one responded, “ It’s pretty to think so”. Putin caused inflation in the United States? It’s pretty to think so.

[@monkeyfinger7949]

Hello Guys, I can't hold a candle to Jim Rickerts knowledge of markets and his knowledge and use of quantitative analysis. But, my layman's understanding of Wall Streets thirst for rate cuts is that it sparks borrowing by a lot of ordinary people. For example mortgages, small business formation and expansion. In other words, Wall Street needs main street flush with cash so the wealth transfer effect can take place. There aren't enough rich people to strictly sell to each other and pump up balance sheets. They need 'consumption', and most of that profit making consumption takes place at the bottom 95% of society. An obvious simplification of the situation which does not take mid and large cap borrowing into account. But hopefully you get my point. Rich guys need poor guys to milk (let's call it 'the quants' vs. the 'non-quants'). And those poor guys have nothing to milk without borrowing - it's a circle. And when the music stops (recession), poor guys lose the assets they borrowed against, taken back to the same rich guys, and we start the same dance again. It's the American way. If you are in the bottom 90%, you will own nothing and be happy...

Two geniuses at work.

[@klmn2000]

Just one thing, chaps (and sorry for the 'nameless account'), but Truflation in the US is currently reading below Fed target at 1.59%. In the UK, where inflation has been consistently higher than in the US, the current Truflation rate of inflation is 3%. Also, Jim always talks about economic crash and disaster (he said 2023 would be a massive recession, which didn't pan out) yet he somehow only sees one rate cut in July and nothing around the election, which is illogical based on his call for global recession. The correct answer is that it depends based on the severity of the economic downturn. Rate cuts will be de-linked from the inflation control narrative as soon as NFPs turn negative and the US is in recession - i.e. rates will be cut fast and by a lot.

Super great interview guys! Super thx. MMT? From the research I've done it seems the death spiral of MMT would be set off by uncontrolled inflation. Any thoughts?

[@ChrisVanSlykeCVS]

Inflation is what MMTers say is the break....if it goes up they say to lay off money printing. Stephanie Kelton just did an interview on youtube. I think their theory is correct since any deficit makes the government have negative equity and the private sector gets positive equity. Unlike in the private sector negative government equity doesn't matter because they control the currency. BUT MMT will fail if when there is a better place to put capital ie people stop buying their bonds.

[@beachsunand80smusic]

[@WeekendsOutsideFL]

Inflation may result from QE in theory, but there is a large difference between what happened in 2011 versus what happened in 2020. In the latter case, tons of money was pumped right into the hands of civilians WHILE supply chains were locked up! Then the result led them to say inflation was transitory, which in theory would make sense, but in reality it was enough to keep that ball rolling for a long time. This is different than the QE shenanigans of 2009-2011 which were occurred at a greater distance from the real economy, they weren’t handing out money to people.
