Picture 1


Milton Friedman won the Nobel for his work on Money Supply. The Fed understandably no longer reports various levels of M or money supply. AS you can see above, it is simply exploding. I cannot post the Laffer article in today's WSJ but you get the picture. As Laffer says we have never seen this in a non war economy. See my posts at professorelam.typepad.com/markets for more. 


The bond market is already moving up in yield, higher yields lie ahead. 

Hmm nassim  Taleeb the author of Black Swan, is on CNBC this morning pointing out all the western countries need to reduce debt. He says there is not way to reduce debt but hyperinflation, see M graph above. Taleeb makes the point that the same forecasters who were wrong on 2008 are still making the same wrong forecasts.

    I would like to see the chart on money supply that the feds dont want people to see from the days of Morgan, and Carnegie were around. If you look at canada money supply too from when the corporate empire took over there bank you will see large debt that happen to them also.

    I suspec the money supply numbers were pretty slim in thost days, no credit cards and if you did not have a down payment, no loans. VISA was introduced in 1968 and the gold reserve requirement lifted by Nixon in the early 1970s, since then money supply has soared as the dollar has crumbled
