Liquidity

Liquidity and moral/confidence drive markets. China, Wall Street,  manufacturing down — consumer spending up — what don’t you get about this picture?

Tariffs indirectly but effectively drive liquidity from the supply side to the demand side of the market.   For 25 years or more, the reverse has been true. Our middle class has all but disappeared, much as it did following the Industrial Revolution early 1800s. That lost liquidity made billionaires in Silicon Valley, Wall Street and China., financing Chinas spectacular growth.

Tariffs, while hurting those who profited from the decline of the US economy, have returned a small portion of the American consumers lost wealth.

The ruling class would have you believe that the consumer pays the tariff. Not true, the supply side and indirectly China bear the cost. Alternative purchases result in greater retention of liquidity, which multiplies within our economy.

Inflation

Many retail investors buy individual stocks with growing confidence in a narket that has a long run. Many fail to appreciate the way the market reflects inflation. Company revenue consists of inflated number,s as does cost and profit, thus the market reflects true inflation which must now be near 100%.

Inflation

The Fed containing inflation with intrest rates to the point of unemployment, is like treating pneumonia with blood letting. Try treating inflation by reducing the number of government employees. With weekly layoffs, the Fed could adjust the numbers of layoffs from week to week to achieve what higher interest rates could not. Newly ununemployed would be less willing to pay inflated prices. The Fed could thus achieve an end to inflation, and lower interst rates as well. A lower ratio of government employees versus productive employees in the private sector could be a plus as well.
