Quote HistoryQuoted: Aaah, OK. My bad. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: I had a review with my wealth manager yeserday. We laughed about how the market was "tanking". I told her I wasn't worried until she called me in a panic. She showed me a couple of articles from smart people she follows that expect the Dow to be 40k+ by year's end. I thought it was supposed to work the opposite way. I thought the client called the wealth manager in a panic, and the wealth manager applied some "behavioral coaching" to talk him down. He's saying he wouldn't worry UNTIL she called him in a panic Not that she did. Wouldn't implies future tense. No, I read it the same way, everything is past tense so it sounds like it happened The grammatically correct sentence should be: I told her I wouldn't worry unless she calls me in a panic. |

I'll miss out on any potential gains, but my principal is safe(r) Been buying gold and silver also. They are always the last to move, so they are on sale right now. So you are retired already or have another 30 years of working? Probably going to work for the rest of my life. Its simply getting off the tracks when i see a train coming. Age doesnt matter. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: what if I told you, giant caps receive a large portions of profits from outside the us? What if I told you, I saw your reply coming before you even typed it. Some people assume that this increase in market capitalization to GDP is just because companies are selling more products like iPhones abroad. However, the opposite is true; US companies have a slightly lower percentage of their revenue coming from outside the US today when the market capitalization is 200% of GDP, than they did ten years ago when the market capitalization was 90% of GDP. So, it’s not as though the US market simply became more global during that time. Instead, the increase in stock prices are primarily due to higher domestic corporate earnings and especially from higher valuations on those earnings, rather than international expansion. --Lyn Alden She's the smartest person in the room. Case for US stock reversal: 1) US has low interest rates. They can't get any lower. They can go a lot higher. 2) US has had extremely low corporate tax rates. More likely to go up than down. 3) US households now have record high allocations to equities. 4) Literally everyone and their sister is investing their money in VTI/S&P500 fund. It's become a large cap momentum strategy. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Its an election year. It will go UUUUPPPP to make the voters happy...even if they have to dump money blindly into the economy. There will be stimulus and both parties will try to out do one another on vote buying. This would be a good time to open a store selling TVs, Rims, and fake handbags. I disagree. The party out of power (in this case the GOP) has a vested interest in some market pain. It will make them look better going into the midterms, and 2024. The Ds tried to keep the stimulus soup bubbling, but Manchin put the crimp on that. This is not a prediction of where the market will go this year, it's just a disagreement about your premise. The market has been on a tear for years. "Trees don't grow to the sky." There is no question the market will correct and return to the mean. Anybody tells you they know for sure when that will happen, you better run away. This is one of those cases when diversity truly is your friend. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Your wealth manager called you in a panic after looking at some articles? I thought it was supposed to work the opposite way. I thought the client called the wealth manager in a panic, and the wealth manager applied some "behavioral coaching" to talk him down. No, we were just doing a review of last year and planning for this year. She mentioned the market being down again and I confessed that I never look b/c I'm a long term guy. I wouldn't of a true crash unless she called telling me had to *insert some grand plan to limit the damage*. Coincidentally she showed me a chart that I found interesting...in 16 of the past 30 years, the Dow was down 10%+ at some point during that year. The other years it was down at least 5% at some point. People losing their minds over 2% (especially when the current volitility means it will likely be back up that much tomorrow) is funny to me. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm not lying when I say I'm in only 2 index funds, therefore I don't have to lie about my returns. I'm fixing to make it a single fund as the total international market index I have some in weighs down that one account a bit. FSKAX is where most my money is. I did just open a taxable brokerage account which will be in ITOT so I'll still have only two when I dump the one. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: What I find hilarious is over the years here, I have noticed some trends that contradict each other. "Just invest in index funds, you cannot outperform the market", followed by pages of people backing this up. "Look at my returns, which are better than the market", followed by pages of people posting the same. Wait a minute, I thought everyone was tracking the indexes. "A downturn is right around the corner, I just pulled my money out of the market" or "her the market is down 10% in a week, thank goodness I pulled out two weeks ago", wait a minute I thought you couldn't outperform the market. Just realize people will either lie or give inaccurate data that shouldn't be taken as gospel. On rarer occasion someone got lucky and that shouldn't be taken as gospel either. Right now there is less chatter because there is more pain, but pay attention to investment threads and you will see some of what I mention.

Quote HistoryQuoted: @JustinHEMI04 I retire in 15 years and have my money in FXAIX. I figure if it doesn't do well in the long run, nothing else will anyway. I'm also not good at guessing which stocks will do well. Yep, I'm all about minimizing expenses and taxes. Might as well own the entire market since I can't beat it. |

We have 7% inflation and interest rates are still near 0%.
Interest rates need to rise to kill the inflation. In 2018, 3% on the 10 year was enough to nearly send us into another financial crisis. The only reprieve being the Fed cutting rates and the massive QE that followed Covid. Given the additional debt that is now in the system, I think an even lower rate will be enough to break this speculative orgy based economy. Rates popping to pre corona levels 1.8% on the 10yr have markets already freaking the fuck out. If the market tanks, can the Fed cut rates and restart QE during a period where inflation is still ripping? It is looking like the end of the line of 40 years of reckless, disgusting, horrific monetary policy and the chickens are finally coming home to roost. This is what running out of road to kick the can looks like. The stock market is currently based on rates steadily declining for perpetuity and the Fed jumping in to ease whenever there's a hiccup.

Not sure how many people were investing back during the dot com bust. Or the 08 crash.
I don’t know what’s going to happen, no one does. Personally I sold 50% of my stocks back in December, but it’s my guess. If the market falls 50%, don’t sell then. If it falls 50%, invest and ride it out. Best bet for most people is the Vanguard S&P 500 index fund. Increase your savings rate and don’t look at it for the next 5 years. If you’re 2-3 years from retirement, I would go talk to a pro asap. IMO, I would sell out. Also it’s a good time to make sure you have 6 months of living expenses saved up. If we hit a recession with FJB in office, you’ll want that. |
