Re: [TSPStrategy] Anyone buying a today?

What I find most frustrating? The US doesn't have this money 😞 Too much pork in too many bills - no such thing as a clean bill. I know we all work/worked for the Fed...but DC politics suck. Just my 2 cents - I'll get off my soapbox 🙂

I think you mean 4.8% and 9.6%

My numbers are extremely understated just to prove the point that the 3% is inherently way off.  I didn't think this warranted the time for precision, just demonstrating the lowest possible boundary limit is well above the claimed 3% should be good enough to dispute that ridiculous claim.

Anyone believing that 3% number should change the channel more often.  In addition their local Community College may offer a course on Critical Thinking, I would suggest taking it.

Actually the number is closer to 10%.  Not of households receiving stimulus, but of the 1.9 T going out as stimulus payments.

Judd, assuming your "worst case scenario" numbers:

Stimulus                        1,900,000,000,000  (1.9 T written out)
Payments                           92,149,120,000 (65,820,800 households X $1,400)
Percent of the                 0.048%
    Receiving payments

Assuming a "best case scenario" and we double that
                                        0.096%

My .02

BTW, I got my stimulus of $4,200.  Me, my wife and a college-aged grandson.  $1,400 X3.

The numbers are easy folks...$1.9 trillion X 3% divided by $1,400 per person would mean only 40,714,286 people would be getting the $1,400 dollar stimulus check...less than 41 million people.

Google "how many households in us make over 150k" and the first hit is a bar graph from www.statista.com that shows 81.4% of US households make less than $150,000 a year.  But the stimulus cuts-off for individuals making over $75,000 per year.  So lets assume every household is an individual just to worse-case this.  Then the www.statista.com that shows 53.6% of US households make less than $75,000 a year

Google "how many households in us" and you get 122.8 million per the Census Bureau.

53.6% X 122.8 million is 65,820,800 households, almost 66 million households,  And with at least 1 person per households that means easily 60% more people will be getting the stimulus than the 3% cited. 

Curtis, your source is way off.  Could you please cite a source for your claim?

Less than 3% of that 1.9T went to Americans, the rest to random programs. I dont know if that will stimulate the economy much.

What do the Moving Averages and the Oscillators tell you?

 

Things to me look a little "frothy" but $1.9 Trillion is getting injected into the economy

DWCPF is currently a mini-dip, but it is about 10% higher than when we sold S end of Dec2020. I am looking for a dip that will get to over 5% of that point on 31Dec. And I am beginning to accept that we are not going to see that condition. I am appealing to some of the members that watch their charts for thoughts on the possibility of getting a strong pullback in S.
