on money supply declines, it is important to realize that most of the money coming out of savings and money markets is entering the financial sector, NOT THE PRODUCTIVE SECTOR
e.g. stock market

during the distribution phase, the public takes good money sitting on sidelines out of MZM counting, and into stocks to bail out the successful speculators
the sellers might be taking a lot of that money offshore, and out of the MZM counting

we must consider that significant foreign money might be departing our shores, redeemed, and exited
esp since trade friction is really heating up
I dont believe it is coincidental that steel tariff challenges and retaliation occurred at the same time

we can deny the dampening effect of reduced money supply until we see the "whites of the recession's eyes"

I personally believe the recession will show up well before the statistical massage bullshit masks its arrival

REFI's have halted
everyone expected trouble with our economy when that was to happen
now that it is here, we deny those same foretold effects
pure denial

big trouble is coming early next year
the only way to keep the game going now is for the Fed to begin monetizing the bond market, as federal deficits escalate
we might have reached a "tipping point" whereby federal supply requirements have exceeded the market's ability
public money to finance the federal debts might reduce the money supply statistics, eh?
not sure of that one, but worth thinking about

one thing is for sure
the declining money supply is a vexing analytic challenge
