How should the government treat uninsured depositors after a bank run?
It's a question Jay Powell faced as an assistant Treasury secretary in January 1991, and it's recounted in my book (which is worth reading if you're interested in how Powell operates) https://t.co/zYOlqHwoSK
Soft vs hard landing:
What if the plane starts reaccelerating before it touches the airstrip? Does better global growth and a tight US labor market put a "no landing" in play?
“In our view, ‘no landing’ is just a soft or hard landing waiting to happen.” https://t.co/gutOWVJlLc
I fleshed out my thoughts on housing and the business cycle in Barron's
As I've been writing here less formally, the Fed pivot was ill-conceived in tolerating FCI loosening
Lack of layoffs in construction + some real reacceleration = more NGDP growth

As Yogi said, it's tough to make predictions, especially about the future.
These are the FOMC calls that some of the most careful Fed watchers had 12 months ago.
The Fed raised rates at seven meetings last year. One increase was 25 bps, two were 50 bps, and four were 75 bps.
Some notes on the missing recession 🧵
I, like others, expected a recession for most of 2022, to occur around the turn of the year. I was pretty consistent with this call, having first made it in March/April
Hasn't happened yet, at least in the data currently available. Why?
Don't worry about underfunded retirement funds - Gov will bail them out. Btw a lot has been promised and a lot will be printed.

Billionaire investor Ray Dalio says the perception that China and the US are “dangerously close to a military war” is having detrimental effects on the world and paralyzing activity https://t.co/Jo4eAWTBF3
Regulators are looking to broaden trading in the immense $24 trillion market for U.S. Treasury securities, a potential power shift away from the small club of big banks that have dominated the market for decades, according to a forthcoming federal report. https://t.co/lcvub0HXpw
