Velocity Of Money – Charts Updated Through January 30, 2013


Here are three charts from the St. Louis Fed depicting the velocity of money in terms of the MZM, M1 and M2 money supply measures.

All charts reflect quarterly data through the fourth quarter of 2012, and were last updated as of January 30, 2013.  As one can see, two of the three measures are at all-time lows for the periods measured:

    So where does the phantom debt under the surface of the water and the massive print job underway in everyones dollars to service it get factored into the equation?
    I think what we have is a very difficult problem of massive off the radar debt and not enough printing presses employed to keep up with the debt service required to service something in the neighborhood of 600 trillion in unfunded promisery obligations, are we stuck in a real tight deflationary spot or what?
