It's not just you sitting on the sidelines with part of your money. Aggregate money supply (M2 and M3) are growing at well above inflation--something like 8-10% p.a. Hmm. Can you explain what causes this, and what this means in practice? It seems like a bullish indicator, as cash would be available to purchase things like stocks. On the other hand, I'm a little unclear on the whole concept: I don't understand how the money supply can change, unless the government prints more. After all, if I buy a fancy car or a bunch of stock, my money supply changes, but the cash hasn't disappeared -- the person who sold me the asset now has it. What am I missing?
