Don’t have to raid Costco for TP if you already have all your cash on hand.

I have plausible explanation.

A massive amount of people have fled the cities and bought property in the suburbs and rural areas across the country as a result of COVID and the riots and the election. Those people do not appear to have sold their places in the cities because the moves were so quick and around here they still have their out of state car tags.

That means they must have had the money to be able to buy a new property without selling their old property. That money probably came from savings accounts and money market fund accounts which are liquid and moved into accounts that are more liquid like checking accounts to close on these property.

It is not unreasonable to suggest $ 700 Billion was taken out of savings and money market accounts and put into checking accounts and then that money was spent on second homes outside of cities. We know those real estate areas have gone nuts with prices doubling in a year in many places.

That money had to come from someplace. I am willing to be if someone could do the numbers on dollars of real estate transactions it would end up being about a $700 Billion dollar increase.

Am I wrong? AM I missing something?

I think that is happening but I dont think it is that quick of a turn.  I think that is s ok mething we are going to see over the next 2 years.  How much of that is at once will be dependent on several factors.

Thanks,

I can't find the raw numbers, those are seasonally adjusted which may be introducing errors since the numbers for this season are anything but normal

I'm beginning to wonder if the $GME kerfuffle is going to have a ripple effect in the market. Something sure as hell spooked the market yesterday. I'm beginning to wonder if a lot of short sellers (hedge funds and others) are having to liquidate their stawks to cover their losses. If it's a big enough disruption, it will have a cascade effect on the market as a whole with lots of folks getting hit with a margin call and/or the need to sell to cover losses.

That very scenario was discussed in a few of the GME threads.

Yep.  Earl.  And Julie.  All MHI references no matter what they are lead to thoughts of Julie.

Actually planning on doing something very similar. Leave $5k in for paying the bills. Pay down the mortgage by like half. Take the rest out in cash over a couple of days or weeks.

My savings account is in my safe in $100 bills. I have no use for banks other than my direct deposit

In this thread we figure out who doesn't understand fractional reserve banking, inflation, etc.

Keeping those dollars in your safe doesn't save you from what's coming...probably just the opposite.
