US stocks?

i mean just think about it, nothing structurally changed about the US economy yet were hitting record stock closings for the sp500, nasdaq, dow. waht do you think is happening?

unemployment rate is dropping, but if you go google how it's calculated maybe you can see the problem and manipulation in that number. maybe check out some other metrics hint: labor participation rate.

anyway spoiler alert, u got 2 more years to gambol before the US stock exchange takes any real hit. or unless something REALLLY weird happens with oil, and russia, and iran over the next few months

unemployment calculations are very lol worthy indeed.

Anyways, looks like Obamas exit will be quite spectacular lol

Panama canal expansion + keystone XL + lift on export ban of oil/gas + oil/fracking boom + other global things = great economy at least for Texas. Just that alone can guide you to a lot of market ideas.

u should read bill gross's quarterly reports or investor outlooks "Never have investors stooped so low for so little gains"

and if you want to have a real conversation about this kinda stuff, i recommend paul krugman's book "end this recession now". Everything the government does is so scattered. We're printing 90billion a month, but none of that actually enters the market. none of that actually extend any credit. like the government is choosing the worst time to implement so many changes that contract the economy. volcker act, frank-dodd, anything timothy geitner has requested.

the truth of the matter is if we're serious about getting out of this recession, higher taxes and more public (but efficient and focused) spending is what we need to swallow. a hands off austrian approach could lead us to japan where they are now officially crossing into lost decadessssss territory.

go google the the book maybe get the pdf and read it on your way to school or something if you happen to use public transit. anyways i also have an econ background but ended up doing more finance oriented stuff. my dream job though would prob be something more research based in healthcare. like fixing the fucking system lol. that's the thing about economists. they know there's a trade off. its either these top 3% or these 40% of people are going to benefit. that's the trade off. but we don't really like to say one's more important than the other. we don't really have the audacity to asssume absolute moral dictatorship and call one's needs superior to the others. but i guess lawyers and congressman seem to do that job just fineeeee

nowhere near the top. imo. even tho i think the whole thing is a house of cards.

they are printing like 80 billion dollars a month to sustain the bubble. its gonna collapse, but the guess is when?

where did you get this from? & lol @ your thinking

Anyone know what Draper bought those 30,000 bitcoins for at auction? I assume under the retail of 18 million

>us stock market thread
>talks about bitcoins

US is preparing for a transition into a more standard electrical means of transport; the next 5-6 years will be a good time to invest in a electric car. proceeding with a recession where petroleum is going to significantly up in price which will leverage North America to gain a massive lead against the developing world, mainly China. With that said a higher petroleum dollar will impact everyone, mainly food prices which will be stagnantly high due to rising transportation costs.

I would not invest in sp500, I think its clearly over-priced, and while the margins have room for growth the risk is too high to manage. I would steer away from most financials for the same reason.

I like basic commodities, companies like Tesla, SCTY, BMW, I like a hedge with gold, and in general would recommend to try to a live a more self-sustainable way of life.

nah, TSLA is bubbling right now, maybe even have popped already. Electric won't be able to compete with fuel cells, which we get from natural gas, which is what I was kinda referring to in my first post in this thread.

>hedging with gold

It MAY go up to 1500-1600 again, but that's it. After that, it's going back down to pre-bloated levels. (aka: <400)

My portfolio is long gamma

gamma = "a general change in the price level of the given market."

Right now I believe the market to be crazy overpriced. Therefore I expect the general price level to go down, very very down... at some point in the future. My action is to purchase far out of the money put options. I am long gamma.

I have some money in equities because it sucks to miss the up.....

big lol at knowing what markets are going to do and when.. why are u not a billionaire yet?

with sharp techniques nobody else on earth is doing like "reading a newspaper" its only a matter of time surely

i mean the feds basically said tehy are looking to keep interest low for the next 2 years...not like the new record lvl sp500/DJIA represent any real growth? i'm not sure if i'm getting reverse trolled or not

what makes you so sure that reasonable future riskfree interest rate expectations aren't already priced into current equities levels? Do you think you're the only person who figured out higher risk free rate should push down equity valuation multiples ceteris paribus? surely there must be other people who are aware of this.

as it turns out, equities are instantly making broad moves every time yellen or draghi so much as sneeze in a funny way. if you think you have an edge on the smart money then best of luck to you and i expect you to put your money where your mouth is shortly

sup sup (Gobal) QE, whats good
