THAT IS F***IN INSANE!! O_O
Borrowing at high yield and spending it on stock buy backs!?! That's like your broker charging 20% and you putting it all in google.
Does this include shadow banking? I don't even know how big the US shadow is. I just know China is in the trillions. VC's lending money for ventures, is this a part of shadow banking? Anyone know?
It's not interest rates that worries me. It's more of the sudden switch. He was aggressive on rising rates last year even when the market was going to hell. Suddenly he wants to do a 180 added with a QE4 after Trump threatened to fire him (he can't). During the time of 3 months they've...
Joe Biden can beat him. I don't see him as too far left (atleast not compared to the rest of them.. ) and he's bad but his skeletons are already out of the closet.
Middle of the road guy though I don't think he'll win the trade war against China which Trump started.
Can somebody please explain to me how Powell went from rising rates none stop last year to QE4???!?! Isn't that a 180 on his stance in less then a year??
Trump got to him!!
I think he knows the market is the only thing that's certain to get him re-elected with all the things going on now. I heard he's doing bad in some states he won in 2016 and the Market collapsing will probably have him lose in all those states. Namely Florida and a few others. Him and Powell...
Wait I'm unclear. Are the Democrats with Trump or for China? If they toughen up their trade with China, isn't that pro Trump? If they are against China, they are indirectly aligned with Trump.
With the trade war escalating, anyone else think companies like FB and TWTR will have a record year? They're not even in China to begin with so I figured people would flock to them from the other fang stocks. Netflix too but it's so over valued.
Tell me more about VC spheres... Is it like a club that you can't get in with just money?
Ok in all seriousness, I'm just wondering why the UN is so toothless when it comes to bad China trade rules. We're the only ones going after China with Tarriffs. Doesn't Germany have any powers? UK...
Do you consider this a "good" thing? I read all these conspiracy theories about world governments, making citizens their slaves and such. The opposite is happening.
I was hoping for a little more sarcasm, but I guess you're not the type. lol
Even Angela Merkel? She's supposedly the most powerful women in the world. Toothless as well I assume? Consumed by the liberals alive. I always read about the BOJ's fiscal polices when I want to have a laugh. The...
No he doesn't. If we're talking about the same video, it's just a comprehensive video on how the economy works on long/short term debt cycles. He mentions that when debt gets too big, we're due for a recession. Is this one of those times? I don't know. Maybe it can go higher before we...
Can someone please explain how a recovery financed by debt works?
So for every dollar we "make", we owe in debt? So market is up but debt is up meaning the whole thing was debt to begin with?? Like me borrowing a dollar and say I earned a dollar?
