WHY TRUMP MUST WIN.

[garyreins]

If you want to make $ as a REIT guy, he will do it.  He gets whats GOOD FOR BUSINESS AND AMERICA.   He will unleash american energy, crude and gas will come down, the fed will be fired asap or pressured to lower rates.  5.5% rates is insane, should be 4% now, a bit restrictive.   

Ok maybe he wont accomplish lowering inflation

But at least we know JOE B had 3+ years already and couldnt deliver. With no victory lap on inflation and easing soon you can chalk it up to his long list of failures! THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE NOT HAPPY!

Agree 100%  Canada with another year or heaven forbid one more term with Trudeau will be RUINED!

Do you ever stop to think about what you post, because if you do, and it still makes sense in your world, then it just might be too late for you, like curtains! If you're a "reit guy" he will do it...........alrighty then. He will "unleash" American energy.............did it ever dawn on you that the U.S. is currently pumping max already right now?! last I looked that was

Snake, if you're a "reit guy" you own levered entities that own hard assets. The only thing core to my long term thesis is money printing. Dosnt matter who gets elected. They will print. The unit the debt is denominated in will debase. And the equity value will balloon in nominal terms as the the hard assets maintain their value in real terms (since you can't print a building for

Priceless..!!

  absolute wingnut - complains about inflation but expecting a 25% drop in interest rates and a collapse in gas pricing..... Economic genius!   Get the popcorn!  I vote Gary for treasury secretary.....

[babybunny]

Frankie, this used to be my thesis too. The big surprise has been the devilish determination of the central banks to sort of redeem themselves by reaching the arbitrary 2% inflation target that the bank of New Zealand pulled out of a hat just a few decades ago.  This is a double whammy for levered real estate investors:  not only do we not get significant inflation, but interest rates

  To be technical, the Federal Reserve does not print money. QE is not money printing and it's not directly responsible for creating inflation.  That's why when the Fed did QE in 2008 that it did not create inflation as the pandemic did.       

[garyreins]

"not directly responsible for creating inflation. " arent you the person who is  looking at excess money supply and saying thats why inflation will still remain high.  "not directly" but one catalyst

[Torontojay]

  QE does not create inflation.  Again, I will reference 2008 as a classic example.   

[Frankie10]

I most respectfully disagree - I believe 'inflation' is the expansion of the money supply. There is no price inflation without monetary inflation. Under a hard money standard, i.e. gold, there would be price deflation with modest monetary inflation due to technological advancement. Highly recommend Jeff Booth's book Price of Tomorrow.

[Torontojay]

An increase in the money supply does not necessarily increase inflation. If you expand the money supply by x% and you increase the volume of goods by x% with an unchanged velocity rate then inflation is 0%.  M = money supply  V = velocity of money  P = price level  Y = real gdp  Δ M + Δ V = Δ P + Δ Y  x% + 0% = Δ P + x%  solving for p,  x

1 agree with you, Frankie, as does Milton Friedman.

[Torontojay]

 I agree with Milton Friedman too. 

[Frankie10]

Yes bro. I could never say it is plainly and eloquently as he does here: https://youtu.be/F94jGTWNWsA?si=IYwnKhkbwDLN1248

[Torontojay]

  Frankie, I'm a monetarist in case you haven't figured out. That means that inflation is caused by too much money chasing few goods. If you can control the amount of money in circulation then you can control the price level independent of interest rates. This is the basic explanation but it is more complicated than that.    https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com

Hey TJ, I appreciate the difference in opinion regarding inflation. I try my best to keep up with what you say, but truthfully, some of it is over my head. I'm not as educated on economics as you are. One of my favorite economists is Saifedean - an Australian economist. His book Fiat Standard was a very interesting read. Certainly worth the time given your passion and interest for the topic

[Torontojay]

Hi Frankie, sorry I can't answer your question.   

[borne2run]

<<  Does it really matter who's in the captains chair whilst the ship is sinking?  >> Yes, the radical Biden administration attempts to reduce and eliminate constititionally protected rights and freedoms.  It is also pro-war, the more, the merrier. And allowing thousands of terrorists to stream across the border will only result in disastrous consequences. Empires

  lol - jobs jobs jobs..... bidenomics = 38 consecutive months of growth (FACT) 275k jobs in February 3rd straight months of gains over 200k. 3/4 million new jobs in the last quarter (FACT) Trump did what exactly? Facts matter - and histrionics over the southern border, along with private personal issues like abortion - are just silly distractions from Fox News. A country

[Torontojay]

Rad, are you joking me?  All the job growth is part time employment with 10 out of the last 12 months of revisions downward. 

[rad10]

Canada or US? Facts matter.

I'll set the record straight on what's going on.  Full time employment seasonally adjusted is 132.946 million in Feb 2024 compared to 133.23m in Feb 2023. There are 284k less full time workers compared to one year ago. Have you heard anyone talk about this? No, because they're lying to you and don't want you to know. Wait a second it gets much better. Full time employment
