Per hoopsrumors:
Both players are on expiring deals, with Bol earning $2.2MM this season and Dozier making $1.9MM. Orlando will acquire both players using trade exceptions, while Boston will create a pair of new trade exceptions equivalent to their salaries.
The Magic have a full 15-man roster, so they’ll have to make at least one more move in order to accommodate the incoming players.
More to come…
... this means that any other trades will be matching contracts with maybe room for $3MM at most above the outgoing contract/s.
Ross gets $12.5MM less the $3MM in room means we are adding $9.5MM in salary either with the TT TPE or with contracts.

You are right, is not driven by who is in office. I think that right now, inflation is driven by how the pandemic was handled. And it seems that in both US and Canada as well as many other places, it was handled very wrong. So the fault still lies on the "leader" that is in charge.. we have two really bad ones on both sides unfortunately. Very very bad ones. |

We have inflation because we printed money. It has to happen unless the economy is expanding rapidly which it's not.
Both presidents were for every spending package. You know who votes against all spending?

umm every point you made is wrong. Educate yourself some then return to the table. And I didnt initiate this discussion, the douchebag billge did. Some stations here(Cal)$6.00 per gal. Biden vows that Russia will face “swift and severe costs” if Russia invades Ukraine, but following through on that threat will require a tough balancing act since sanctions could ripple across the economy. Some top European allies of the U.S. have raised concerns about various options, warning that Russian President Vladimir Putin could retaliate by cutting off oil and gas supplies that are vital to their country. Europe gets as much as 40% of its gas from Russia, and countries like Germany could be left in the cold if Putin decides to end their supplie GOD willing we commit no troops should there be a conflict. But, if we do...... Bank of America is forecasting it will go to $100 a barrel. How can Biden operate an army without oil for all equipment? He cannot get from Russia or Venezuela and he has closed down US oil production. The Middle East being friends with Russia, may look the other way. WHERE WILL HE GET OIL TO OPERATE A WAR MACHINE against Russia??? |

We are way more resilient than you give us credit for...unemployment down, stock market at all time highs, gas adjusted for inflation is not that bad in (in Cali it is due to cleaner gas and a tax on visitors, but why talk realistically)... |

It is expanding as unemployment is the lowest (ever?) in a long while. The problem is too much money chasing too few goods aka supply & demand. The pandemic has created that shortage of goods and bottlenecks have added to the situation. Evidence can be seen in car & house prices being bid up and still finding plenty of buyers.
The bottlenecks will resolve themselves as more & more people go back to work. Generally it takes higher interest rates to slow down demand but we are so awash in money (families have the most in savings ever) that could take some time. If supplies start flowing from foreign or newly built domestic mfg'g ops that could resolve inflation but if too much supply comes on at once that could result in the opposite happening and disinflation as oversupply could result in job layoffs and discounted pricing to work off excess inventory and pay the bills.
It's a tightrope the FRB walks setting rates at the right level to get a soft landing rather than a rug pull. Expect small (1/4-1/2 pt rate increases every b2-3 months as the FRB tries to squeeze out inflation w/o killing the employment rate. If you are sitting on lots of cash one way to prosper from the rate increases would be to lock in CD's for short periods like 3-6 months then roll them over when the rates increase a few months later. Keep flipping into higher rated CD's but keep the length short so you can keep flipping until we reach a peak in rates, then lock up each CD when it expires into a long term CD ... think years (2-5yrs if not longer for retired) to provide 5-8% on your cash deposited monthly into your checking or savings acct unless you don't need the cash flow and want to buy additional CD's as long as rates are still high. The higher rates could spook the market and already has just knowing what's coming. The tech stocks will correct the most as they had the highest PE ratios. Money leaving tech will go into commodity vehicles like metals, infrastructure and equipment companies as well as grains, produce and meats. You can buy the commodities/shippers now and wait for better prices in tech for long term investments with a concentration in SAS (software as a subscription), cloud/5G, quantum computing, space tech and autonomous vehicles.
I'm not advising anyone... just providing food for thought for those confused and trying to devise a plan. War involving Russia & Ukraine is another monkey wrench to be dealt with ... best hedge there is energy & precious metals as defense stocks have been moving early. If Russia is frozen out of Int'l banking and unable to sell their oil, that could bring price down so think alternatives like LNG, NG & even Coal or Nuclear (uranium).

But it hasn't expanded during the period in which we printed the most aka after covid. Has gdp increased from pre-covid levels? Because that would be the measure. Not from the trough of the shutdown. Not unemployment, just gdp is the factor. Anyway the proofs in the pudding. Empirical evidence proves the theory again. Inflation has definitely occurred On Ukraine, seems silly for nato to be calling for war with Russia while building a pipeline to russia that will help finance their army?? |

Most of the printing happened 10 yrs ago after the housing/banking collapse. To avoid depression the printing presses ran non-stop and FRB forced Money Center Banks into taking that cash to see that none of them failed also as the heads couldn't be trusted to know the extent of their exposure to sub-prime mortgages. The bond buying during covid (along w/ Trump tax cuts) pales compared to the great recession. It's somewhat shocking to think that all that liquidity only served to set the financial/stock markets on fire and 10 yrs later we are just starting to see real assets inflate like financial have. I would have thought precious metals would have soared 5 yrs ago but the tardiness to the arrival of this inflation only goes to prove how serious the great recession was. Imagine the length of the depression we'd be in if the FRB had not gone to the extremes they did. So here we are and the financial markets have been the beneficiaries of all that liquidity but the cream poured on top due to the pandemic served to extend those markets but finally real assets are seeing their day due to those bottlenecks and shortages acting as a catalyst to the liquidity shifting out of financial assets and into commodities ... and rightfully so.
The only way to suppress this inflation will be a recession to follow higher interest rates probably some time in 2023. Meanwhile expect inflation to jump from one commodity to the next until a slow down in demand or a black swan event that eliminates excess liquidity occurs. The only sure thing is higher rates and rotation to hard assets where demand remains strong (Biden Infrastructure Bill, etc). If Build Back Better is unpassable the Dems may have to set their sights on major projects to develop a future industry just as the internet did ... save the planet probably too big but new energy sources (clean) or decarbonization, high speed travel and communications, bio-engineering for future pandemics, space defense etc. A new Manhattan Project if you will ...
GDP has not been what it was in the 80s & 90's ... was that all internet related or Persian War related? War solves lots of problems except Federal Debt. Here's some numbers:
The Pandemic is obvious but no figures available since ... I didn't look very hard but I imagine 2021 isn't much better than 2020 and it's not likely that things have picked up in a few months so far in 2022. But, GDP probably makes sense with all the production we have coming from abroad now. Now with our mfg'g base discovering increased costs and bottlenecks abroad inhibiting revenue growth will (and some have already) production shift back to home (govt demand for certain industries relative to the defense of the nation being domestic as well) and that could revitalize GDP in the years to come. We are getting like Japan with an aging population and reduction in the workforce by automation and robotics will solve most of those problems just as autonomous trucking will solve the driver shortage. So we need a new Gov't Investment in the next big thing to stimulate GDP or else we wait for our business leaders to rebuild here. Eisenhower did the Highways, Kennedy did the Moon, Gore did the Internet (LOL) - who/what's next?
Crazier things have happened besides an energy starved Germany beholden to Russia for heat. I mean look, our corporations took their mfg to China in the name of profit margins and turned a communist nation into a capitalist based behemoth run by an authoritarian, socialist government sporting the best GDP the world has ever seen and it lasted for a decade or more now!
At least the Germans have now threatened to end the pipeline ... Biden must have cut a deal to provide them with all the LNG they need from the U.S. (LNG Tankers/Natural Gas E&P) to influence their decision. If oil/gas doesn't flow abroad, Russia is screwed.

I read it all and agree with a lot. I don't agree with the thesis though. Occums razor...the current inflation is from the printing 6 to 18 mo ago, not years ago. That's never been the hypothesized lag until now.
We need to tighten supply now, but also our belts. Pudding time is over.
On the other,
So if Russia holds Germany hostage, we have to give russia the Ukraine right? Or are we going to invade Russia now and sell their gas like Cheney did in Iraq? I think nuclear is the answer for now.
Great point about the double standards. Our governments have sold us out. Republicans and democrats and labor and you name it all over the world.
It will take milton Friedman and Keynes both to get us out of this mess. The great milton keens

you can make statistics say anything you want. The bottom line is this current administration is horrible, the worst in history. From abandoning Americans to be butchered in Afghanistan, millions of illegal and unvaxed immigrants allowed to march across the border, to the economy at home. For the life of me I don't see how any of you can defend Joe and the hoe! You defend him because your feelings were hurt by Trump? Don't forget Trump brought peace to the middle east, illegal entry at the border was way down, and the economy was humming. You don't have to like Trump to agree that America was in much better shape when he was in office.
Does ANYONE IN HERE think Putin would be pulling this Ukraine crap if Trump were still in office?!

You don't have to like Trump to agree that America was in much better shape when he was in office. Does ANYONE IN HERE think Putin would be pulling this Ukraine crap if Trump were still in office?! I agree with you Quag...I’m sure I’ll get scathing remarks making this political post especially since the left doesn’t want to admit to much of the truth in its contents. Actually, If you Democrats are honest & reasonable, there should be no arguments to the truth I posted. Wanna ban me...go ahead. I make my comments expressing to you I am not a Trump lover; however, I am much less a Biden lover!!! Shameful that I read the election was the will of the people and Democracy has prevailed. BS !!! The powerful media, Facebook, Twitter, CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post etc. and the Squad, Pelosi, Schumer, AOC, Bernie etc. have prevailed. Their objective to put in their having done nothing in 47 years of beneficial political notoriety, Joe Biden, has been achieved. We have a President who lied in 1988 and the scandal prevented him from being president and the party has forgiven him & now he feels Hunter didn’t take a dime $.10 in the China deal …actually not a lie, he took Millions and Papa Joe is proud of him. The Bobulinski(Navy Seal)disclosure with emails on an iPad of the Bidens’ financial dealing was surpressed and only presented by Fox News. The left don’t care Biden is a Liar….they wanted from this Socialist Government special favors to be repaid & I believe Trump would not have been involved in their payola. Biden a liar…a leopard does not change his stripes. OH Yup, Democrats say Trump lies too and that justifies accepting Biden I guess. Whatever nefarious business deals Trump has done, were done not while in Political office as had done Biden and the Clintons. It will be realized some day all the positive things Trump did for America and the people whether he was liked or not. I can understand people not liking Trump’s personality but tough to criticize his accomplishments i.e. prior to the virus highest stock market, lowest unemployment for Blacks, Latins and Women, rid of ISIS, North Korea acting relatively peacefully, some peace deals in the Mid East etc., building a wall to prevent entry not only of illegal Latins but some Muslim terrorists too, revamped trade deal with Mexico & Canada, renegotiating a trade deal with China more to our favor, cutting off flights from China within 9 days of realizing the danger of the virus, getting an unheard of Vaccine within a year etc. |
