Then maybe we should revisit that 2017 tax bill. |
I'm pretty certain a recession is a high probability, but I'm also certain that most of us will come out on the other side ok...just like all other previous recessions. We've been retired since last year and our portfolios are down about 25% but I'm sure we'll live through this one too. |
Tax revenues are at an all time high. We need to stop spending. https://taxfoundation.org/corporate-tax-revenue-federal-tax-collections/ |
| All of this has been blown WAAAAYYY out of proportion. In the next six to eighteen months, investors will realize this was a great BUYING opportunity. In the next six months, war will end, commodities will flow, COVID will be readily treatable, shutdowns will cease, supply chains will heal, and inflation will consequently decrease. However, by the time all these issues are resolved (or obviously so), the market lows will be long gone. Invest now for years of juicy returns. |
There will be a buying opportunity sometime in the next year or so. I doubt it’s now. I also wouldn’t bet on a return to the Fed juicing the market any time soon. And don’t buy Biden’s “Putin’s price hike” BS (unless you live in Europe). Losing one million barrels a day of refinery capacity (and counting — more is due to be shut down soon) was going to move gas prices higher, war or no (and Europe is still buying fuels from Russia). Even if the war ends, we’ll still be shipping LNG to Europe — they will not go back to being completely dependent on Russia again. |

Yep, still buying all the way down. S&P may drop 40% and I'll still buy. We may enter a recession and I'll still buy....
Over ever single 20 year period in history the stock have gone up. But to the 'sky is falling folks', please sell. It gives me a bigger discount. I'll take the money out in 20 years, when I retire... |
Agreed. Im waiting for another quarter. The dip in earnings need to be here before the stock market tanks. I would say Q4 this year to Q1 next year. Typically economies go into recession 12 months AFTER a rate hike cycle. |
Juicy returns - what are you smoking? The juicy returns took place over the previous 13 years, when the market averaged close to 18% compounded. That is almost double the historical, centuries-long record of 9.5%. Have you ever heard of reversion to the mean? Many serious analysts believe that we are in for a lost decade (or more) for stocks. |
The rouble |
What are you smoking? The NASDAQ is 35% off the highs you mention. And the highs this time around are nowhere like those of 2000. If you take NASDAQ post 2000-02 blowup to today, it’s about a 12% compounded rate of return. Given that stocks return about 10% and NASDAQ is higher vol/beta, 12% doesn’t seem unreasonable. Current prices are not in la-la land. |
DP. P/E does not look bad but that's because while P has come down, the E hasn't been adjusted yet. Consensus estimates still have quite a bit of growth pencilled in for 2023 that isn't going to happen in a recession. So earnings will start to be revised down, probably when the Q2 earnings season starts in July and we will experience further decline then. After that dust has settled should be a buying opportunity. |
This is the current mantra, but big tech after big tech company that has recently reported is saying that demand remains strong. Recent examples include Oracle and Adobe. Adobe slightly revised their forecast downward, but on currency rates (a higher dollar). Same with a recent comment from Microsoft -currency exchange rates. Sure EX rates are something, but that’s different from a fundamental demand change. The point is, things are not on the path to Armageddon. Beware those on the Right that want to bang the drum of a Fed hangover and withdrawal, so we need a massive economic swoon. It’s BS. These are the same people who said the same post GFR. If you followed them then, you missed a massive equity rally. |

Goldman and Morgan Stanley think we haven’t hit bottom (and they’ve called this correctly so far).

His counterpart Michael J. Wilson at Morgan Stanley, one of Wall Street’s most vocal bears and who correctly predicted the latest market selloff, agrees that the S&P 500 needs to drop another 15% to 20% to about 3,000 points for the market to fully reflect the scale of economic contraction. “The bear market will not be over until recession arrives or the risk of one is extinguished,” the Morgan Stanley team said. The calls from Wall Street’s top strategists underline how investor sentiment on risk assets has soured in recent weeks as runaway inflation and a hawkish Federal Reserve raised the specter of a prolonged economic contraction. Wilson said that should a full-blown recession become the market’s base case, the S&P 500 could bottom near to 2,900 index points -- more than 21% below its last close. |
Really? They've called this correctly so far? Because in April, Goldman predicted the market would fall 21% to bottom out at 3600. |
