Darin Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Interesting... I recall someone arguing that they have been seeing the M2 figures rise each month. I never looked into the value of the M2, but I just made the assumption M1 was around 27B and M2 was pushing 23B (give or take a few mill) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markinsa Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Sorry, don't quite understand. READ THIS THREAD: http://dinarvets.com.../60576-cbi-gdp/ Economists use M2 when looking to quantify the amount of money in circulation and trying to explain different economic monetary conditions. M2 is a key economic indicator used to forecast inflation.[14] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim1cor13 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Sorry, don't quite understand. Hi LEX Here is some money supply info.: Definition: M1 is a measure of total money supply. The M1 money supply includes only checkable demand deposits. Definition: M2 is a measure of total money supply. M2 includes everything in M1 and also savings and other time deposits. I hope that helps All my best! Jim --- 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaborniake Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 I hate to say this, but Frank mentioned the M2 supply in his last CC. It would seem it's dropping month to month which would make it seem as if the money supply is drying up. I'm no economist, but wouldn't the M2 drop if they were removing the physical currency from circulation? Like the 25k notes for example? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darin Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Thanks peeps! Great news no? Great if they are able to reduce total money supply without greatly affecting their foreign cash reserves. It's still good even if their foreign cash reserves is equally affected by what is drawn in. Why? Lets out in circuatlion means less of a liability.

It's still good even if their foreign cash reserves is equally affected by what is drawn in. Why? Lets out in circuatlion means less of a liability. I'm almost certain that I've seen several articles where Saleh has been speaking about the CBI being able to increase their reserves to around $50B. A quick check on the CBI website shows $50B. So, it looks like they are building their foreign reserves, while decreasing the M2. Let's recap: M2 decreasing Inflation increasing DFI expiring June 30th Iraq on the hook for hundreds of billions O extends EO and tells the House and Senate maybe terminated in line with DFI GOI in session and not on vacation; seem to be making progress What else? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speculatorsRIDE Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Where are we on Ch7? They need that done to monetize non-liquid assets. Then there M2 will be thru the roof. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjmunson Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Folks...I hate like heck to be the spoiler but these are year over year percentages of growth. What that chart is telling me is that the M2 for March of 2011 was 18.7% higher than what it was in March 2010. Peace 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
