Cash Is King: Printing of $100 Bills Soars | |
| TechRaider (OP) User ID: 8668963 12/21/2012 11:25 AM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A good detective always looks for a motive when beginning an investigation. And so, when Nick Colas discovered that the number of $100 bills printed last year suddenly spiked, the chief market strategist at ConvergEx Group decided to figure out what was going on. The first thing he discovered, as we discuss in the attached video, is that "$100 bills are still wildly popular and growing in popularity." On the other hand, the use of smaller denomination bills ($1, $5, $10 and $20) has been declining for over a decade, as the number of cashless transactions has steadily gone up. In fact, in the fiscal year that just ended in October, Colas writes in a recent note to clients, the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing cranked out 3 billion, $100 notes. video link: [link to finance.yahoo.com] Texas has yet to learn submission to any oppression, come from what source it may.

Maybe the new bill are used primarily for settling cartel and terrorist transactions or green energy scams, ha. Texas has yet to learn submission to any oppression, come from what source it may.

People don't want to have to keep going to the ATM to get hit up with charges. $100 doesn't buy a whole lot these days. And...lots of people probably just hoarding some cash. And...the normal stuff. Just thinking out loud. |
