Markets may soar from here.... perhaps even to Dow 50,000! Why? 1. Corp. tax cuts will be a big boost to earnings. 2. If the companies use the majority/all of the tax savings for stock buy-backs (as is likely because corp insiders would get the biggest benefit), that could light a fire under the market. Not pounding the table, "I think that is going to happen", but open to the notion. FWIW...
It's like baseball, or all sports, these market historians and statisticians have something new and unique to share everyday. (But still can't trade a profit for the life of them.) ,
Keep smiling Haaaa....right....they will pull anything from history to show you this bull market will keep running forever and ever and ever....but we alllll know bull markets all end ....this one will end sooner than later, almost a decade old....time is against this bull!
Ahhhh. That chart works real well when you can kick out the under-performers like Kodak and add the likes of Apple at a whim. Just sayin'....
It's called a benchmark Vanzandt... Also, that's why index investing kinda works well... it automatically kicks out the bad underperformers... it does what any investor should do. Sell the losers and keep the winners. But, we all know that discretionary traders, like most investors are, will tend to hang on to the losers and sell the winners. The "bird in the hand" together with "loss aversion" thinking.
You are wise in your vision for the US Equities: this has a name: Greed. The money will not be invested into search & development or for rising people skills or in hiring new people. Besides, the huge amount of the US debt will increase even more. The Fed cannot rise the interest rate because all this Ponzy Scheme will crash.
