I live in the USA and I am concerned about the future. I created this blog to share my thoughts on the economy and anything else that might catch my attention.
It's all fun and games until someone wants to buy something real.

The M2 velocity of money chart looks very much the same. Down big starting in 2008 and off a cliff in 2020. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M2V
Mr Slippery,Not only does the M2 velocity chart look very much the same, but I think it actually IS the same.I never looked too deeply into how they calculated the velocity (or did and don’t remember), but it makes sense that it would be GDP / M2.So, I charted GDP/M2 - M2 velocity and it was nothing but a negligible amount of noise hovering around zero.Good catch! Very enlightening. :)
