Trump just said something very important. (Edit)

They will be considering bailout money based on whether or not companies invested in growth instead of stock buybacks. I'm skeptical, but hearing that makes me feel good.

That said, I believe the bailouts won't matter because I think the dollar is going to collapse under this unprecedented weight... but if that doesn't happen and the ship doesn't sink (fingers crossed) then this will be good.

Chloroquine and not open-ended bailouts may be enough.

Edit: Apparently I may have heard it wrong. See Obed's response below.

dollar tends to strengthen during a global crisis

our currency is always relative to other currencies. People around the globe hoard greenbacks during times of instability, so if anything, there will be a dollar shortage.

Cycle will probably be deflationary for a while, then fed overreaction will lead potentially to inflation.

Dollar does tend to do that... but this might be too much

pressure. People run to the dollar because the US has been able to rig the international system with Swift and OPEC. But Russia, China and all the other "bad guys" want that over with. Russia may have finally found the opportunity to wreck it.

I heard it differently

It wasn't stated as a consideration of whether bailout money is given, but as a consideration as to whether the govt would take an equity stake in said corporation were bailout money provided.

I'm not as bullish on the statement, given that.

Crap. I suck at multi-tasking. I'll listen again.***

Yeah the response was to a question along the lines of

"blah blah blah what do you say to rumors that the govt will take an equity stake in companies that are provided bailout money"

Thanks a lot. I try to be optimistic for like 5 minutes

and now reality sends me back into the bunker.

If I'm being optimistic, I'm hoping that Trump was just

freestyling and thought he was answering it the way you heard it, and not literally the way it was asked.

One is a breath of fresh air, the other is a bit alarming.

Taken collectively, 90% of everything looks disastrous.


Mar 19, 2020, 1:55 PM

I'm way less worried about the virus aspect than the economic collapse aspect.

badge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

agree completely about the worries.***

Way too kind. Don't worry, I'll anger you soon probably.

(I have no specific plans to anger you)

badge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I am fully aware you were joking.


Mar 19, 2020, 3:48 PM

I hope you are fully aware that few people here admit to a mistake, a misread or just come out and say they were wrong and how much I respect those who share that spirit of truth.
