Word of the Day: M2

M2 includes a broader set of financial assets held principally by households. M2 consists of M1 plus: (1) savings deposits (which include money market deposit accounts, or MMDAs); (2) small-denomination time deposits (time deposits in amounts of less than $100,000); and (3) balances in retail money market mutual funds (MMMFs). Seasonally adjusted M2 is computed by summing savings deposits, small-denomination time deposits, and retail MMMFs, each seasonally adjusted separately, and adding this result to seasonally adjusted M1.

@RTProducer Well first of all thank you for your segment on this - it was as interesting and well presented as always.

Yes I would concede on M2. to a point. For money supply alone M1/M0 might be more appropriate, but neverthless, M2 is the the main indicator of broad monetary inflation which is one driver of Gold price. I have researched every aspect of Gold for 35 years.

The ongoing global financial contagion will result in much more money printing with Gold price responding accordingly.

@ultreality it's not the same thing as devaluing the dollar or printing money. The reason that we did this segment is to show to our audience that there are various ways of measuring or defining money. That's why we have various monetary aggregates like m1, m2, m3, etc. We also have "base money" which is a much more accurate way of measuring what the federal reserve is doing to to affect the value of the dollar. m2 is affected much more by bank lending and activity

@troglodyte3344 how would you like it changed? We do viewer feedback on the show as often as possible.

w/o the stilts, massive paint & padded bra, she'd be the little lying boy that he is.

Hope he gets fucked up the ass good by his Kremlin masters

The little whore adds almost a foot to her stocky frame wearing stilts.

It's fitting for an RT/kremlin propaganda whore called Lyingster
