...pursuant to prior myths (), here's another misunderstanding debunked – most recently by the Fed itself (2021):

"the money multiplier...is anchored in an obsolete explanation of how the Fed operates and influences banks"

...money multiplier obsoletion TLDR:

· (fractional) reserve rates were a thing until GFC 2008, and obsoletion redoubled during COVID 2020 when reserve requirements were suspended/lowered to zero

· since reserves are now abundant, POMOs and SOMAs can't influence FFR anymore

...money multiplier myths (cont'd):

· in the Fed's modern "ample-reserves regime... IORB serves as a reservation rate, and affects market interest rates [via arb]...influences banks' decisionmaking about setting deposit and loan rates...lending and investment"

...that was quick:

"SBF [bailing out crypto rn e.g. Blockfi and Voyager Digital] is basically cosplaying JP Morgan in the Panic of 1907"

@NeelyTamminga @stevehouf 1/5

Both can be true:

🅰️ ending student loan payment moratorium and reversing Biden debt forgiveness are sequentially disruptive (not a shock or crisis)

🅱️ releveraging of deleveraged household balance sheets is not entirely undesirable atm
@NeelyTamminga @stevehouf /2

...short-term effects of student loan forbearance:

🙃 moratorium ending shld b "priced in" but multiple extensions have historically/recently had perverse effects (e.g. SUI 🧵 )

🫣 SCOTUS reversing forgiveness cld b more of a cohort shock (not crisis)
@NeelyTamminga @stevehouf /3

...longer-term effects of student loan forbearance:

😬 def stoked inflation via multiple channels (e.g. consumption/housing/etc) – esp since "most of the [subsequent] increase in debt is driven by mortgage payments" ()

"artists can no longer appear real on their own" – a perverse notion of centralized platforms becoming gatekeepers for identity/authenticity verification...?

eh, the problem was that anyone thought appearance was reality to being with...

...that's the idea behind @benthompson's 'Zero Trust Authenticity vs castle-and-moat' analogies, e.g.:

Just because a song looks and sounds like Drake doesn't mean it came from Drake – its authenticity must (obviously?) still be verified 👇

...but that's not obvious to everyone:

to whatever extent there's a crisis in the authenticity and verification of (mis/dis)information, it's concentrated among non-internet natives – i.e. Millennials/Zoomers aren't the problem 👇

It's worth adding to these $sivb snippets from @matt_levine and @benthompson – particularly Stratechery's "The End of Silicon Valley (Bank)", which was more nuanced than it sounds:

🅰️ I-95 Belt:
One thing that sank Greater Boston's thriving minicomputer/hardware/tech ecosystem was lack of (local) reinvestment – winners cashed-out vs SV VCs/founders continually reinvest time and money #flywheel

🅱️ SVB Bank Run:
VCs ran-the-gamut fm posterboys to paperboys to cheerleaders to D-linemen – that the outsized impact of a few snowballed to the many isn't signal of SV's downfall as much as classic panic

"The historical linkage between corporate tax rates and investment growth is non-existent [almost zero, but the correlation] between [interest] rates and investment actually has the wrong sign [they're positively correlated]"

"when profits are growing, so does investment [which] also shows a stronger connection with growth expectations – when CEOs expect stronger growth they also are planning higher levels of capex growth"

@fed_speak @cullenroche @profplum99 @EconomPic @MstarETFUS @ritholtz @choffstein 0/7

What are the chances that capital markets distortions are not passive's fault, but rather misattributed/coincidental ('correlation not causation')...?

To wit, some hypothetical questions – the devil's advocacy null hypothesis you've asked for...

@fed_speak @cullenroche @profplum99 @EconomPic @MstarETFUS @ritholtz @choffstein /1

Weren't there a lot of reasons for this empirical increase in valuation multiples, e.g.:

• macro (demographics/disinflation/negative real rates)

• technical (TINA/access)

• sector mix-shift (tech)

• ~idiosyncratic ()
@fed_speak @cullenroche @profplum99 @EconomPic @MstarETFUS @ritholtz @choffstein /2.i

Why isn't increasing equity market implied correlation/comovement (and hence kurtosis) more attributable to rising financialization than specific passive/active share – i.e. stock market is increasingly a macro proxy instead of a collection of idiosyncratic stocks...?
