U.S. Money Supply Recently Did Something That Hasn't Occurred Since the Great Depression -- and It May Foreshadow Trouble for Wall Street

Summary

Nutrition label

80% Informative

U.S. money supply recently did something that hasn't happened since 1933 .

It's the first drop-off of at least 2% in M2 money supply from an all-time high, as well as the first year-over-year decline since the Great Depression .

Since 1870 , there have been only five instances of big-time weakness in the US economy.

The biggest peak-to-trough decline in M2 since the Great Depression signals the possibility of consumers having to reduce their discretionary spending.

A U.S. depression would be incredibly unlikely to occur in modern times.

But while history foreshadows trouble for Wall Street in the quarters to come, time continues to be an undeniable ally for investors.
