“You know how you say that the economy is locked up in fiefdoms, and they’re picking winners and losers, as part of colluding the prices? Well this adjustment of prices locks out certain people, like say, the young from housing. So houses don’t sell, they stagnate.
But what are we really looking at? Velocity.
Velocity is an indicator that buyers and sellers agree on a price, that the price is “right” and not an outlier. That’s why you see a stock move on high volume “confirming” the move, because it means the prices wasn’t “right” at the previous level, while more people agree the new price is fair.
If prices are allowed to go where they need to without pressure and manipulation, you will always have velocity, as the most buyers and sellers will always agree at some price. Because this is true, low velocity cannot happen in a free market. Which means the only reason for low velocity (in this or the previous Depressions) is that someone has somehow managed to get an edge that prevents them from selling, from liquidating, at the true price, i.e. the one the buyers will agree to.
This has another corollary, that the measure of velocity on the Fed’s own chart is the measure of the level of unnatural price manipulation on the market. We can watch this aggregate indicator of their failure in real time, by the Fed’s own hand, and we can know the manipulation is ending when it rises.
So yes, the Fed, the governments, the insiders can manipulate to their heart’s content, as they’ve been doing, but that unnatural pressure goes somewhere. And the pressure diverts into velocity. As we saw in the Great Depression, or the Roman Empire, velocity can stagnate for 10, 20, or 1,000 years until the manipulation ends, property rights are restored, and we have a free market.
History has shown that may be a bargain they’re willing to make, but it won’t do the rest of us a lot of good.”

TRUMP FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES
TRUMP FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES
A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE AS A RESULT OF HIS CANDIDACY
DISCLAIMER: Trump’s financial disclosures didn’t make clear what the reporting periods were. FY2015 may include a longer reporting period than FY2016. It is unclear what the beginning and end dates of these reporting periods are. However a longer FY2015 reporting period would produce more, not less, revenue for Trump.
Excluding Doral and Mar-A-Lago, which were regularly used during his campaign by the press, his staff, etc., and would have produced inflated revenue as a result, Trump had a 21.31% year over year increase in revenue from 2015 to 2016. Including Doral and Mar-A-Lago, Trump had a 60.13% YOY increase in revenue.
Trump has a clear unfair competitive advantage when compared to financial statements of his public competitors (hotels and resorts). Marriott was the only one that came close with a 17.85% increase in YOY revenue. For obvious reasons i can’t do a comparison to private competitors which may have performed better.
Whether it was his intent to use the presidential campaign to acquire for himself an unfair competitive advantage is unclear since it presumes that Trump knew, or at the very least “believed”, that his campaign run would produce an increase in revenue when it might as easily have backfired.
It is a common misconception that all publicity is good publicity, however it is, for example, highly unlikely that Trump “intended” to be forced into selling the Miss Universe pageant. To give another example, Bill O’Reilly lost his job recently due to negative publicity.
Nevertheless, this unfair competitive advantage obviously must be resolved. However i have no solution as to how to achieve that because he is the president, and his name is Trump. You can not legislate a wedge between him and his name. Therefore his free state sponsored publicity will continue as long as he remains the president.
Of course it is important to point out that this was all public knowledge during the election and voters elected him despite these disclosures being publicly available.
The fact that there exists a government in the first place that can be exploited by nominees and politicians to acquire for themselves unfair advantages that free market participants don’t have is itself the problem.
Thanks, W.
