The bear case for stocks is ‘so obvious, it can’t be right’

  1. You’ve been saying the same exact thing for 9 years.
    Just replace “decade” with “3,4,5,6,7 years” and you can find dozens of almost identical posts from you since 2010.

    Eventually you will be right.
    But by then everyone else will have gotten richer while you screamed the sky is falling for a decade long raging bull market.

    hahaha good job.

    only the shallowest minds look at 3,4,5,6,7.. lol, they are too lazy or too blind to look at what is truly driving the market.

    this view is very popular though... that is why retail is still not participating in the bull run, and is still hoarding cash/gold/bitcoin.... great news for the longs! because eventually these people are the fuel to push the market even higher.

    The Nasdaq has only just recently surpassed it's 2000 peak adjusted for inflation. I can't predict the market (neither can the permabears), but we could just be getting out of the 2nd inning for this bull market.

    Time will tell, but we've basically been range bound since 2000. It took until 2017 for the Dow and 2018 for the Nasdaq to just start breaking to new real highs.

    Part of the reason for these recurring stories about crashes and collapses of bull markets is its what we collectively "need" to read about. Media stories in which everyone agrees about something are dull, they tend to not even get published. But if the writer finds just one person who has a contrary viewpoint, the story is a success - even if the guy is a loon - no basis in factual evidence is required. In fact, the more loonie the opinion the better........

    Well its true the bear market has to come, and that its been bullish a long time. Id still not buy into it flipping until at least something signals the turn concretely.

    Bloomberg is a better format... just report the damn news, and if some big shot makes a market comment, it's cool to report it also...

    but these MW people who have zero clue how the market works, try to sound like they know something, that's how you get retarded articles on the front page everyday.

    I'll ride an inflated market as others hesitate. I'll just remain vigilant for the eventual crash.

    Vigilance won't help. Stop orders will protect you.
