(2/8/24) Fair warning, fellas: Valentine's Day is one week away; Lance's annual safety PSA. What do all the numbers and charts really mean about the economy? Financial Obligation Ratio's look great for the upper 10%, but for the rest of the population, they're pretty dire. The markets don't care. Are we over-paying for equities? Market internals are very different from the headline data. The S&P almost hit 5,000, thanks to the EFT draft effect. Will "good" economic data thwart the Fed's rate policy? Bonds feed on inflation and where the market thinks inflation is going to be. Are we looking for a reprisal of 1970's style inflation? (Why now is not then.) Money Supply affects inflation, and inflation begets inflation. The Fed "gets it," but the government does not.
SEG-1: Valentine's PSA; What the Charts & Numbers Really Mean
SEG-2: Will "Good" Economic Data Thwart the Fed?
SEG-3: Bond Strategies During the Inflation Rollercoaster
SEG-4: Will We Have 1970's Inflation All Over Again?
