1. Consumers actually ...Here's a crazy theory.<br /><br />1. Consumers actually do want to go on a optimism based spending sprees and they've just been given the green light!<br /><br />2. They sell stocks to raise the cash needed to go on spending sprees. Why not lock in some paper profits and spend some of that real money! Pent-up spending demand! Yay!<br /><br />3. After seeing stocks begin to crash (thanks to their own selling in Step 2), consumers become less optimistic.<br /><br />4. Panic.<br /><br />5. The Fed lowers the Fed Funds Rate all the way to 0% to calm the panic. Just imagine the monetary stimulus that will create! Can't wait to see the reaction in the markets to that unprecedented 0% to 0% interest rate move! It's never even been tried before (except in Japan of course).<br /><br />Hey, I said it was a crazy theory. Couldn't ever happen in real life. As we all know, the business cycle is dead. The Fed has permanently put a stop to recessions.<br /><br />Whew!<br /><br />(Too much sarcasm? I never really know if I'm lathering it on too thick.)Stagflationary Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04568993350246477976noreply@blogger.com
