Foolproof recession indicator is glowing red

Recession indicator with perfect track record flashing red

What will be the fix this time?
Bush/Obama admin spent over a $trillion bailing out the central banks, investment groups and $billionaires that resulted in the widest earnings gap in American history and rocketed stock prices beyond absurd.

That was never going to fix the problem of an entire economic industry dependent on ever rising stock values despite reality.

Will the FEDS and Trump do the same as Obama/Bush bail out the super corporations/investment banks to maintain the gross over valuation?

Might as well he's already bailing the farmer's out.

Buy Gold!!!

If the shit ever does the fan, my little round-nosed 170-grain pieces of cast lead/tin will be worth more than all the gold in the world.

The Amish will trade me many chickens, goats, and wives for them.

We obviously have problems in our economy.
Trump has done nothing.
Obama did nothing.
Bush did nothing.

How can we expect anything to get better?

What are you talking about?
If you meant the bank portion of TARP, the banks paid that back at a huge profit to the Treasury.

Only partially correct. By 2014, the US Treasury recovered funds totaling $441.7 billion from $426.4 billion that was invested, earning a measly $15.3 billion profit or an annualized rate of return of 0.6%. When you adjust that for inflation, what you have in effect, is a loss.

Then there was the fraud. Some financial institutes were accused of not using the loaned dollars for its intended reason. Others further abused investors after the TARP legislation was passed by telling investors their money was invested in the federal TARP financial bailout program and other securities that did not exist.

In a 2011 quarterly report to Congress, it was reported that there were more than 150 ongoing criminal and civil investigations. There had already been the criminal convictions of 28 defendants (19 had already been sentenced to prison), and civil cases naming 37 individuals and 18 corporate/legal entities as defendants. It had recovered $151 million, and prevented $553 million going to Colonial Bank, which failed.

Are you counting in the $426.4 billion the mortgage handouts?
Or the auto bailout?

Capital. TARP was to rebuild the capital of the banks. Fraud? That's funny!!!

Never heard that. Got a link?

TARP. The mortgage bailout was HARP, and the GM bailout was a different program.

Yes, the bank portion of TARP was hugely profitable.

The problem was, it was hugely profitable for those who were politically-connected to Obama and the Democrat Party. There was significant trading among the "connected", thirty days in advance of the announcement the TARP bailout. Stanford University did an entire study on it...

That just means there will be a recession in 18 months if the Fed does not act, but it already has acted. Also the recession should not be as bad as the last disaster, because there is no sub-prime housing bubble. However Gold will continue to rise due to this & exploding deficit. Gold will make a new high!

I'm talking about bank TARP, not the "stimulus".

There was significant trading among the "connected", thirty days in advance of the announcement the TARP bailout.

Insiders were buying while the market was tanking? And that's only possible with inside information?

 

[Shrimpbox]

The problem with the recession indicator is that, as Glenn Beck pointed out, is that the same inversion has also happened before where no recession followed it. They don’t tell you that.

 

[Mac1958]

Ah, Fox Business. That would explain the irresponsible hyperbole.

No, an inverted Yield Curve is not a "foolproof recession indicator".

The curve has indeed inverted before each of the last seven recessions, but it has also inverted without a recession following.

It's an interesting and useful data point, that's it. There are many.

[Pavel Svinchnik]

Here's an interesting take on the yield curve inversion:

The Perversion Of The Yield Curve Inversion

The point it makes is that the portion of U.S. bonds owned by central banks has grown to about 48%, so it is no longer a true indicator of market sentiment but is distorted by political needs of the central banks.

I don't agree with their math.
Foreign banks (officially) hold $4.1 trillion.
The Fed holds about $2.1 trillion.
Debt held by the public is about $16.5 trillion.

Less than 38% owned by central banks.

AHAHAHAH!!!

You dumb disgrace.

TARP was signed by Bush you retard. You are an embarrassment. You blame Obama for Bush's problems. You are fake news and everything you say is suspect. What a joke. Ty[ical idiot Trumper, you make up fake news and try to blame Obama for things Bush did...

Explain to us how people "connected to Obama" gained from Bush's TARP bill that was enacted before Obama was even elected!!!! AHAHAHAAH!!!

Just another example of somebody too stupid to know what is going on on the world.
