EE: "One thing is for certain, this will be an economic downturn of our own creation..." Me: "Aren't they all?" economic downturns CAN be caused by wars, famines, pestilence, and yes, by pandemics the egyption famines of biblical fame were not caused by humans. nor were 2004-2005 hurricanes. nor are current locust infestations in africa/middle east. the bubonic plague of 1500s was a hit for everybody, rich and poor alike. while some can point fingers at china and mongolia, it was not human created. [indeed, once it was past, the base for the renaissance was set: losing 30-70% of the population meant the fewer remaining workers were paid more, and real estate was cheaper because a lot of europe was simply depopulated.] THIS 2020 economic downturn is indeed our creation. the western world, and specificially america's farting around after 9-11 and 2007, trying to keep the illusion that it was still the mid 90s. if individuals, companies, and governments had their affairs in order, this pandemic would be a financial inconvenience, not a bevy of black swans that have consumed exlax for decades.. i fear that we're all going to pay decades' worth of bills thru some really weird combination of deflation, inflation, stagflation, and destruction of physical assets either by war, or by social disintegration. and that applies even if every last person were suddenly miraculously healthy and back at work tomorrow morning. “You were given the choice between war and dishonour. You chose dishonour, and you will have war.'" Winston Churchill

Nathaniel Long pretty much, yes. Money is fake, it is not what feeds people. People will make out of this less well off than many businesses that barely even pay more people or taxes when they get stimulus money. Wages have sadly been stagnant with inflation since the last “stimulus”. When money is created 7/8ths for businesses and 1/8th for citizens, like in America, it creates a monopoly game that eventually ends not so good. The citizens don’t end up happy in the long run, when they realized they’ve been enslaved from the federal reserves actions

Joakim von Anka yeah, but that’s kind of the whole problem. When the US economy was strongest, you could be part of the middle class without being a capitalist (in the sense you own a means of production). The bar for being middle class has continued to raise as wages have stagnated, resulting in an almost nonexistent middle class currently. That’s a big problem, because the economy functions better when there’s a robust middle class that can invest in the economy, instead of where the US is now where there’s an incredibly small upper class that contributes very little to the economy in comparison to the amount a healthy middle class could invest.

@altrag

4 жыл бұрын

@Joakim von Anka That has never been the definition of middle class. Middle class is just people who have a comfortable life.. not so rich as to be particularly extravagant (which is upper class) but also not so poor as to have to work themselves to the bone just to feed themselves and their families (the lower class.) The fact that the only plausible way of reaching the middle class in the 21st century is by having substantial business investments is a symptom of other problems. If you go back 50 years, most of the middle class were wage earners at factories and the like. But starting in the 80s under "Reaganomics" (ie: supply-side economics,) wages have been practically flat while costs continue to go up. There's no reason it _has_ to be the way it is today (and in many other countries -- particularly in Europe -- its not that way.) America has simply chosen to prioritize the wealth of the elite over the well-being of their populace. And it wasn't even hard -- they just promise you that you'll be able to join the elite "if you work hard," while they're off on their golf courses enjoying their leisure time and most explicitly not working very hard. The number of people who have joined the ranks of the elite since 1980 through hard work alone can be counted with only two or three digits -- in a country of 350 million people. Americans are given a choice every few years whether they'd like to keep working themselves to death for that 0.000001% chance of being the next Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk, or of they'd prefer to be able to relax and have a near-100% chance of at least enjoying life.

For several years now the world has had low interest rates and a stock market that looks overvalued. What indicators were you looking at, that particularly pointed towards 2020? The only I can think of is Ray Dalio that started betting against the market in mid 2019

@@nixtoshi the infamous yield curve. Government bonds growing to such high demands that their yields become really low. Long term bonds usually have greater yields, when charted out it curves upwards. When the demands for the longer term bonds becomes so great that the yields become very low the curve on the chart becomes flat or inverted. In 2019 the yield curve flattened twice for a medium length of time. The reason the yield curve is important is because it is a nice gauge for the markets opinion of future economic prospects. All the smartest people in big institutions with a lot of money, tend to buy a lot of government bonds to balance their portfolios as government bonds are seen as the safest asset to buy. They are so safe in fact that they are bought at negative yields, meaning that the buyer will get less money back than they paid for it. The rationale is that it's better to take a guaranteed *small* loss than to take a potentially much bigger one. This sent a worrying signal about a potential recession coming in the next 18 months, but it was not certain. At the end of 2019 things looked more positive and people were more at ease. There had also been a disagreement between the big bond buyers and the stock market buyers. Those who bought stocks saw no problem and meant the bond buyers were imagining things. Now 6 months later it turns out the bond buyers were right all along. They looked at the fundamentals and saw the danger, the house of cards ready to collapse. All it would take is a powerful enough shock to kick things off. The US-Iran conflict was one thing making the markets feel uneasy, but that turned out to not go anywhere so everyone could breath a sigh of relief and get back to business as usual. The trade war was another thing that could potentially set off the recession but both US and China seemed to play things just within the means of keeping the world economy chugging along just fine. Then out of nowhere came the virus that no one expected would have a significant impact. All of a sudden all the governments start freaking out and shutting things down and soon after the stock market starts crashing. Governments start pumping out fiscal stimulus like no tomorrow to ease the damage they've done with the strict shut downs. No one expected this a few months ago, not even the bond buyers, they just knew that there was a potential for collapse.

@@GeneralBlackNorway That is a great response. In addition to the triggers you mentioned, I'd add the oil price war started by Saudi Arabia's crown. I was trading the day the price war was announced, the US500 was still trading in the 2900 range before the announcement, it had lost $400 from corona and the US-Iran war. That monday alone was crazy though, I saw some energy stocks lose as much as 80% on that day. Energy, commodities, banks, indexes all down multiple percentage points. I remember a headline that read "it's utter carnage out there". Looking at the yield curve over time, it does look like a great predictor, it has signalled the last 7 market downturns correctly
