Pete (1) Haven't the recent occurrences of an "inverted yield curve" predicted at least 7 of the last 3 recessions ? Prolonged inverted yield curves are ignored at one's own risk. It is one of many indicators to examine albeit a more important one. (2) Are you suspecting (as I am) that some of the money the Treasury pays out to buy back the national debt will find its way into the equities markets to support high p/e ratios/ No. I suspect there won't be a significant buyback. I suspect any tax cut passed, if any, will be meaningless in an $8 trillion economy. Further, the Federal Reserve can take counteractions to offset any aforementioned action. These are purely academic discussions.
