Best time to sell Q1 2021

When shit hits the fan people will liquidate their tesla stock for 50% or less of current value because they'll have to buy 50-100% more expensive food and pay their rents. Look at the price of every single commodity over the last few months. Look at food price inflation.

 

[SilverHaas]

Just because CPI is low it does not mean inflation is low. Specially not for the poor who spend most of their money in housing and food, which are both getting more and more expensive.
Another reason we don't have a higher CPI is because the world keeps getting more and more productive over time, so we should have deflation, which is good. So the inflation the central banks create just balances out with the deflation that we should have been always experiencing, just like it was back when currency was money.

tesla is actually a good bet if you can get it at a much lower price but even 50% discount is still too expensive. I'd be more interested in SpaceX if it goes public. SpaceX is the most valuable company in the world. Even money can't buy you SpaceX because what they have achieved cannot be done using money. Jeff Bezos has been dumping his amazon shares to pump billions into Blue Origin with nothing to show.

 

[SilverHaas]

Yeah I agree completely. I would buy a bit of tesla 60% down from here, but only load up on it at a 80-100PE ratio. Anything over that is just ridiculous

The shit won't hit the fan. We'll put that to bed. Governments can print money until eternity. But we will experience recessionary economic conditions in the future.

Recessions cause liquidity crises so the general trend is that assets are sold to meet debt obligations. So yep, in a recession you would expect assets to be sold off. But does it lead to inflation?

Australia has experienced a number of recessions and periods of sustained slow growth over the past 50 years or so so it's important we look at how the inflation rate has responded to determine if your hypothesis holds true. I'll use this data here as it not only indicates recessionary periods, it also indicates downturns in the Oz economy even when we didn't have 2 consecutive quarters of negative growth.



So we'll take each shaded area and examine what the inflation rate was using data from https://www.rateinflation.com/inflation-rate/australia-historical-inflation-rate/

1983: 10%
1985: 6.7%
1991: 3.2%
2000: 4.5%
2009: 1.9%

and not included in the chart 2020: 2.1% (https://tradingeconomics.com/australia/inflation-cpi?embed/forecast). In fact, Australia recorded it's biggest ever quarterly fall in inflation at the same time we entered a recession in the first half of 2020. So your hypothesis does not hold true. In fact the 2020 crisis has resulted in new found highs in asset classes such as stocks, and a surge in property prices. So if there was a liquidation of assets, it was quickly gobbled up by willing buyers.

Look at the price of every single commodity over the last few months. Look at food price inflation.

What data are you citing? Can't debate if you don't cite data.

 

[mmm....shiney!]

Just because CPI is low it does not mean inflation is low.

Again you provide no source data for your position. You can't argue that CPI is low because the official statistics say so and then ignore the official inflation statistics just because it confirms your bias.

Specifically not for the poor who spend most of their money in housing and food, which are both getting more and more expensive.

The poor don't own assets, they're inconsequential to this debate around the trickling down of money when assets are sold.

Another reason we don't have a higher CPI is because the world keeps getting more and more productive over time, so we should have deflation, which is good. So the inflation the central banks create just balances out with the deflation that we should have been always experiencing, just like it was back when currency was money.

Again, where is the data you cite to support your argument?

Here's some advice. I don't care of you follow it or not. Make sound investment decisions. You can only do this when you have all the information at your disposal in front of you. And when it comes to inflationary data and CPI, the only information available is the official statistics. ignore it at you peril.

You don't need to watch, just put on some headphones whilst you send that little ball through the air

Got bored after 3 minutes. I can't imagine he has anything meaningful to contribute.

You might have to spoon-feed me.

How does MMT deal with USD floating around outside the control of the US Government? What happens when the dollar loses reserve status to crypto/gold/yuan etc?

The CPI is not the only information we have. If you look into the CPI it separates it by sections. Go through food and housing and you'll see the inflation... the way the CPI was engineered is to always make it seem lower than it actually is so the government can say everything is good.
And how can you argue that the natural course is deflation? The world has had massive deflation for a long time, specially after the industrial revolution. Everything gets cheaper as we can make much more with less effort, more productivity, technology. So if we were supposed to have lets say a 2% deflation and we end up having 2.1% CPI it means we had 4.1% inflation. If we used real money deflation would be the natural course of things. And that would be good, people would save money and interest rates would be low without the central banks having to destroy the free market with the printing presses. How can you not agree with this if you're a PM enthusiast?

 

[SilverHaas]

This is what happens when the currency is money

 

[SilverHaas]

This is what happened after the FED.
Currency became toilet paper

If the government does it right though

When does the government ever do anything right? When did libertarians and big gov start holding hands?

 

[JohnnyBravo300]

It's no different than what we have and has failed thousands of times before.
A new fancy name doesnt change anything.
This is way over some peoples heads for some reason.

 

[alor]

they must only be doing the Right things only lol
well people since the zero minute, done only wrong...we are here today
had it been done right just the for first minute, we will never be here

How does MMT deal with USD floating around outside the control of the US Government?

MMT has nothing to say about it as far as I know.

What are the Chinese going to do with all of their USD reserves for example? The only thing they can do is buy more US exports or US assets. Either way, that stimulates the US economy,

What happens when the dollar loses reserve status to crypto/gold/yuan etc?

No idea. They burn their USD reserves?

 

[mmm....shiney!]

When does the government ever do anything right?

Mostly not. But it does have a choice about which path to choose, with some more preferable to others.

When did libertarians and big gov start holding hands?

They haven’t. I’m pretty sure I’ve made my position clear in the past so I’ll not go down that path again.

Suffice to say there’s the future I yearn for, and the reality I think I’ve got a handle on.

Are you kidding me? They are buying gold hand over fist. Russia has now more gold than dollars for the first time in quite a while aswell

 

[mmm....shiney!]

How can you not agree with this if you're a PM enthusiast?

I’ve told you before. What makes you think I’m not an advocate if sound money?

I just understand how the modern monetary system works. And it won’t end with excessive inflation.

 

[SilverHaas]

It hasn't, yet. Because ppl still think it's a reserve currency. When gold goes over 2100 and starts mooning the dollar will be under real attack and we will see how it unfolds.

So what? They’re wasting their money. Sovereign nations don’t need to hoard gold, they can print money at will.
