The Inverted Yield Curve

 
 
Reply Tue 26 Mar, 2019 09:22 am
In case you don't follow financial news, we now have an inverted yield curve. Major players are telling us not to panic, but an inverted yield curve is a strong indicator of a recession since it happens when investors consider short term debt a higher risk than long term debt even with all the uncertainty that long term implies. So is our long economic expansion coming to an end?

@engineer,
I been hearing about this on a few podcasts that I follow. Specifically how an inverted yield curve has 100% of the time been followed by a recession within months or a few short years.

No guarantee that a recession will happen now, but it always has in the past under these conditions.

You need to study some more honest analysts and stop listening to government announcements. The nation has been in a recession since the double top in S&P500 in 2007. The Fed has been printing money like crazy trying to hide it with paper. Prices of many foods have tripled since than. In general, everything you hear in the news is a lie. Remember the "great depression"? They called it a depression because they didn't want to admit it was a "recession". And that is how "depression" entered the language. Since then they have been calling recessions "growth periods" or anything they can think of, as long as they don't have to admit it's a recession.

Go to mises.org and fee.org and study the free materials until you feel like you know a few things that you didn't know before.
