I have trying to grasp and understand the M's for a while now ... this is simply put and very well explained ... Thank you very much, your videos are just perfect

[sandysutb]

Wow, you explain complex things in an easy manner. Thank you, much appreciated

[defaultuser]

I think the simpler way to say this would be that banks can create credit up to M times their deposits.

Can you do a video on M3 money supply?

[encodersofia]

3:30 I can't imagine someone borrowing money from one bank to deposit the money in another bank. Sure way to lose money from interest difference

why does this not have 300, 000 views?

What about the 3 dollars that the system creates out of thin air? I assume that it is for making the money circulate more easily, but the question is: What backs up these 3 extra dollars from M2, as the 4 dollars from the central Bank had securities that backed them up?

[SequelFinalNight]

So what your saying in the video is that QE3 promise of $40 billion a month is more like $70 billion when it gets into our economy using M1 money supply. Very interesting... thanks for helping to figure out screwed our dollar has become from the FEDS. God bless America!!!

Informative video, however the initial debt that was printed would’ve required interest, which also would’ve been created out of thin air, thus increasing the existing debt (currency) in circulation.
