Interesting thread:
https://twitter.com/annaeconomist/status/1527300319302262791?s=21&t=Jw4rThvoRSSzAufP8CFhbw This chart is quite sobering: https://twitter.com/AnnaEconomist/status/1527301740189560833?s=20&t=7HGBl_4ron9i-9eSKfmDtA |
I can’t get the charts to post, but Here’s the text: Anna Wong @AnnaEconomist Why chances are small for a Fed soft landing, and markets are still underpriced in hikes, in charts: 1.) All but five of the 15 tightening cycles we identified since the 1950s ended in recession. (1/4) Read more: https://blinks.bloomberg.com/news/stories/RC3JLJT1UM0W… @economics Market expects (pink dotted line in chart) is shallower rate hike cycle than historical experience. The median tightening over the past 70 years is close to 400 basis points. (2/4) The starting unemployment rate (3.8%) for the current cycle is the lowest in all 16 historical cycles. The larger the initial deviation of inflation and unemployment from target, the lower the chances for a soft landing, and the more the Fed will have to do to cool the economy. The Fed began the current tightening cycle with the highest inflation rate save for two episodes: 1974 and 1980-81 (not reassuring). The inflation contrast is even sharper when compared with soft landing episodes. (4/4) |
| I think we have a ways to go on stock market repricing. Not a big deal and business as usual. I really now do not think a recession is close. This is not how a recession happens with everyone saying that it will. When everyone says it will it does not happen. Really 2024 is the time for the recession |
Remember Tom Cruise jumping up and down on Oprah’s couch and calling Matt Lauer glib? That’s how crazy you sound. |

Sure. It’s just the crazy people.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/us-may-be-barreling-toward-recession-in-next-year-more-experts-say/ar-AAXsJrH This week alone, former Goldman Sachs chief executive Lloyd Blankfein warned of a “very, very high risk” of recession; Wells Fargo CEO Charlie Scharf said there was “no question” that the U.S. economy is heading toward a downturn; and former Fed chair Ben Bernanke cautioned that the country could be poised for “stagflation” — a slowing economy combined with high inflation. [And even Yellen, trying to sound positive, says:] “I think it’s conceivable there could be a soft landing. It requires both skill and luck … I hope that’s the case, but this is a very difficult economic situation,” Yellen told reporters in Germany, citing economic shocks from the war and sanctions on Russia. “There’s a lot going on. … It’s not a straightforward matter.” |
Too bad voters can’t be mderstand the holders and blame dams entirely for the current economy. |

If BBB had passed, just imagine how perfect things would be!

What makes you think I haven't already? I'm half cash, sold 10-20% ago and waiting for a big capitulation event to get back in. You sound very bitter, I'm sorry you didn't have the same foresight. |
+1. And us doom and gloomers don’t really think this is the bottom. I’m sitting on a pile of cash waiting for the shit to actually hit the fan. Right now there are too many overly invested people delusional about the market’s prospects. Give it till October and you’ll all have to be cashing out to fund your boomer retirement once you work through whatever reserves you kept on hand. That’s when the crash is really coming. And I can’t wait. People live way beyond their means in this country. |
This doesn’t make sense. The doom and gloomers are talking about a down market for a very, very long time so what does it matter if you magically find and invest in the bottom? |
PP here. TBH, I think the real recession will be 2024. But honestly, as a millennial who graduated in 2008, we'll get through it. Right now boomers and Trump supporters are sitting on a crap ton of property, living beyond their means due to their belief that the gains of the last few year's stock markets were realized, etc. It may be schaudenfreude but I just want to watch them suffer consequences for once. |

I am no expert but I found this useful:
https://www.investopedia.com/insights/recession-what-does-it-mean-investors/ Seems like we are at stage 2. I guess we are looking for the bottom and then some stability (stage 3). Usually we don’t know if we had a recession until after it happened (2 quarters of negative, as determined by the fed once they have all the data in). |
| Apple and Tesla still need to fall a ton. There is still too much talk of bottoming out and people trying to buy the dip. It's only when the vast majority of people have had their hopes and dreams pulverized into bone dust do we bottom out. We aren't even at precovid levels yet, so all of the froth still hadn't been removed. Then we still gotta price in a recession. Long, long way to go down. I still see dumb tickers like $SNOW, TSLA, etc. trading for 100+ estimated P/Es. ARKK still exists and hasn't had to liquidate. Looooong way to drop still. |
| I wonder if a DMV rental property will be a better investment than a market index fund over this decade. |
It is ridiculous Apple Tesla, Apple has such high profits that it’s P/E ratio is in the 20s, lol Tesla is it like 90 |
