Eye roll You do realize they make money when you read their articles? Look at the data...and no, I can tell it to you but I cannot understand it for you. |
Do you sell insurance or work at a grocery store? |
| Market is beginning to worry me. Not too concerned about YTD but no-end-in-sight worries me. Looking more and more like a perfect storm forming. |
That's how I am feeling as well. |
In other words, you don’t have any data that proves this wrong. And you make money by keeping people in the market. I’m also guessing you’re quite long in stocks and have a lot to lose if the downturn snowballs. By your own reckoning, your biases are much more apparent than the WSJ (which is going to get clicks with good news or bad news) |
+1000 These financial advisors and fund managers know as much about the market as the guy on the street, except they earn their keep by soaking their 'clients' (i.e. sheeple) for huge fees for barely doing better than a 0.01% cost fund. They even barely beat many robo advisors. Keep staying the course, the market always goes up they say.....well duh. It takes 2 seconds to know that by looking at the history of the charts. Did I really need to pay a fund manager for that obvious advice? If a manager was worth their lick of salt, they'd know when clouds are coming and position to prevent massive swings in volatility in their clients' portfolio. Any schmo with Robin hood can buy dips and hold for forever with no trade fees. Big whoop. |
You should be. Looking more and more like a hard landing. And QT hasn't even started yet! |
| i think 2022 is different - think stagflation type different |
What does that mean for the market? Down for a long time? |
I don't know what you mean by that. Every downturn is different in some way. |
|
Well, you know what it means and it’s already happening in France
“Stagflation can be defined as a prolonged period in which an economy experiences persistently high inflation, high unemployment rates, and stagnant aggregate demand. It is a period where central banks experience a situation in which monetary tools meant to control rising inflation lead to higher unemployment and lower economic production.“ Forbes Businesses closing, people losing their jobs etc |
Prediction: QT will end early. Taper tantrum 2.0 |
| If concerned what do you do? reduce exposure? If you did that over last 40 years you would lose out. So is 2022 really different? It might be but it is pretty unlikely. We think we live in special times but we don't. |
Gosh I hope not. |
We don’t have high unemployment though. |
