lol if these writers were good at markets they wouldn't waste time writing about them. Anyway we shall see. Stocks go up and down. Maybe it will follow a slow growth pattern or maybe... dooooooom!!!!!
I am sure the govt could use it more efficiently... like on proxxy wars and paying for non citizen benefits.... maybe they can use it on a spy program that outfits our toilets with cameras so they can see what we ate too.
Wow you've really opened my eyes. I never knew there were TWO WHOLE POSSIBILITIES!! You're definitely right. Businesses and private entities would never form private armies to lease out to the incompetent government in exchange for money. They'd never want cheap labor to come flooding through the border. They don't spy on anyone. They don't put cameras everywhere. They're just so awesome. Parking that money abroad is definitely the way to go. Governments and people are so stupid, they would piss away like a lot of that money. Not rich people though. They keep most of it safe, sound and hidden somewhere else. Far away from that inefficient government and ignorant people. It's too bad there are only two possibilities. HEY I just though of something. There are as many possibilities as parties. What a coincidence!! Anyways, thanks for the incredible insight. My life is changed. I shouldn't have money ever.
Oh good, another chance for me to move some money into the markets. Disconnect between sentiment and fundamentals is huuuuuuge.
It is a good time to put some money in. Generally anytime when the volatility index is high then it is a good time to buy. When it’s over 25 it’s good to buy but over 30 provides very high long term returns. That said it is difficult because it is usually during times of stress so prices fluctuate. I think 2019 will provide some good buying opportunities. We are effectively in a bear market so if you are in for the long term look to buy into the panic when it pops up in 2019. Just be ready for prices to go lower which I’m thinking they will. The economic fundamentals aren’t as strong as you might think but we aren’t heading for a major recession either. I saw the chances of a rate hike in 2019 have plummeted down to 30%.
It's with how the market has moved and other national and global economic indicators. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...ry-gauge-falls-by-record-misses-all-forecasts Richmond Fed Factory Gauge Falls Most Ever as Shipments Drop The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond’s manufacturing gauge fell by a record as shipments and new orders weakened, the fourth district bank factory index to drop this month and the latest evidence that President Donald Trump’s trade war is becoming a greater headwind for U.S. producers. The Richmond Fed said Wednesday that its measure of factory activity across a swath of the eastern U.S. fell to minus 8, missing all economist estimates in a Bloomberg survey projecting an increase to 15. Levels greater than zero signal growth. The 22-point drop from the prior month was the most in data going back a quarter century. Other recent data showed the Kansas City Fed’s index of manufacturing in the district fell to a two-year low in December. The New York Fed’s Empire State survey and Philadelphia’s report are the lowest in more than 18 months. The survey, which covers the District of Columbia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and most of West Virginia, comes amid rising concern about tariffs from companies. FedEx Corp. plunged the most in a decade last week as a dimmer view of shipping services demand outside the U.S. prompted it to slash its profit forecast and pare international air-freight capacity. Caterpillar Inc. and 3M Co. have also warned about higher materials prices. While Richmond’s main gauge can be volatile from month to month, the component tracking shipments tumbled to its lowest in almost a decade. The measure of new-order volumes slipped to a two-year low, while inventory levels of finished goods and raw goods both rose. In the Fed’s most recent Beige Book compilation of anecdotal accounts from district banks, published Dec. 5, Richmond highlighted that “tariffs were a significant concern noted by manufacturers, as they were believed to raise costs of raw materials, thereby raising prices and lowering demand.” Economists also are projecting a fifth Fed manufacturing index to retreat this month. The Dallas reserve bank’s Texas Manufacturing Outlook Survey, due for release on Dec. 31, will decline to an 18-month low of 17, according to Bloomberg’s survey, from 17.6 in November. The factory data follow another weaker reading Wednesday on the world’s largest economy. S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller data showed housing prices in 20 U.S. cities slowed in October for a seventh consecutive month, extending the longest streak since 2014, a sign of waning demand amid higher mortgage rates and elevated property values.
Perhaps I should give all my sarcasm to people with excess sarcasm so they can distribute it socialism style among us? The only other alternative in the universe is I give it to a government and we both know they'll just distribute it socialism style among us. Too many options for simple minded folks like us. Wish they would just take it without asking.
Yea, I’m thinking of putting money in the market next month instead of what I normally put into savings.
