These V bottoms are just the result of unemotional math (so
yeah, AI would fit the bill). We have been and will be in a
recession with Gov spending backed out - it would be severe at this
point, but Gov spending is not backed out and won't be backed out
so we do not enter a recession on paper. Asset prices go up
broadly because of currency debasement - that's just what asset
prices do (almost all go up during debasement, not just the ones
accruing value, which is a short list). There are many
academic papers that discuss when you enter the diminishing return
phases of debt fueled stimulus and we're WELL PAST the line (I
think around 70% of debt to GDP) where countries get a better than
1:1 return on debt. We're now quite negative return on
stimulus and accelerating.
Simple way to look at it: if the Gov is injecting 6% of GDP per
year and the Atlanta Fed is projecting 2.5% total GDP this year,
is the non Gov economy in a recession or not?
