I have discussed this before and more or less agree with Shostak's definition of money. I know you will despise that so I do not want to go into it. It will just annoy both of us.

I seem to recall Russ looking at numbers of coupon passes and concluding that the FED has tightened a lot. Perhaps that is a very good way of looking at it. Notice I said "tightened" as opposed to "tight". I do not recall his exact words.

One could look at M1 I suppose.

M1 has gone nowhere even as credit has exploded.

There was a record debt offering today in the junk bond market.
The whole thing is nuts.
I call it "a crisis of excess liquidity"
Possibly something you would agree with.
A credit implosion is all but guaranteed at some point.
