"Fed going to buy ETFs?"
That's a possible "tweak". 3254

Velocity of money needs to be over 1.65 and climbing before we actually, within the pale of reality, have a real "economy" back under the current system.

That number actually gets marginally lower every quarter.

It would be nice if I could have a chart for it going back to 1950 though.
Suspicions about activity from Q1 '72 to Q1 '77 would be confirmed or not if I did.

I might get curious enough to research the financial engineering going on during those years in the 70s.
That run up to 2.2...it didn't come out of "nowhere". '72 - '77 would be part b of where it came from.
1/2 of part a is there...
If it wasn't the "tech bubble"...it woulda been something else equally market effective. Like an economy built around everything it would take to effectively mine the Moon...since we were just about in that position at the time.
Part a is back before the 60's. Not shown in the data presented.
The 50's was a time of serious post WWII long-term future planning.....while we were entertained with Milton Berle and Lucille Ball...Jackie Gleason etc., in our living rooms.
Isn't it very shortly after '77 when the Club of Rome and friends began to roll out AGW and population reduction plans?

Could be confirmation of the gsm/pole shift brought the "tech bubble" to replace the "Moon bubble" at that point.

Along the lines of a future Moon economy being planned to kick in through the 90's, I have to add to that last post, today we have a myriad of private space rocketry companies as a result of the tech developed toward Moon exploration/exploitation. It would have been perfect timing had we started work ON the Moon as was most likely by the end of the 90's had we persisted beyond Apollo. The last guy on the Moon was the only PhD geologist to go there. Kinda like, "case closed".
We scotched the Moon but the tech remained as all that was left of the original financial planning...going off gold and the like...paving the road for the boom.
But the internet bubble wasn't enough to carry the load that was created. More material benefit was planned for and that didn't materialize so the debt loads became destructive instead of constructive. All those dead tech companies that lost everything, housing bubbles here and there. Everything got misallocated.

It's things like constructive debt and efficiency gains that allows for very gradually lower money velocity to maintain steady state via organic growth. So...we got craters, AGW and no Moon out of it. Craters tend to grow.
