During Clinton’s time the computer, Internet, software and Cell phone markets were being established. We will never see anything like that again.
It was tech, not a POTUS.
I’m not going to hold my breath.
BOTH residential and commercial real estate ARE CRASHING RIGHT NOW
LOL!! You mean that middle-class tax cut that Clinton promised while campaigning, but reneged on once he was elected?
Bill Clinton didn't create a boom. Bill Clinton selfishly starting printing money to fund his pet projects and destroyed the value of the dollar and our economic superpower status.
Don't believe me? Research Mexican Peso Crisis, quantitative easing, and correspond that to a chart of the S&P. If you print money the market artificially inflates.
Bill Clinton (and each president after him) destroyed America economically by keeping the practice going. Bill Clinton was the moment the adults no longer ran America.
Uh, we don’t make anything anymore. Unless we start up again, nothing will change.
Can’t make Hillary President without rehabilitating Bent Bill’s dirty dingus!
Don’t rule out a Bill Clinton-style 1990s BUST........................
Clinton’s boom was due largely to the internet being made public... certainly wasn’t any of his economic policies.
I did find it odd that EXXON is going in on lithium batteries. Apparently they believe this lithium find in Arkansas will give them an advantage, and that there will be a market for EV’s.
There will be, but small in the end. Evidenced by auto manufacturers scaling down EV resources.
It’s worth a small investment,imho, but I wouldn’t put big bucks behind it.
Don’t rule out. Could be. Might happen.
Economists are like climate change scientists. They make worthless predictions, and get paid big bucks for doing so.
I just got my Magic 8-Ball back from the cleaners. I can’t decide if I’m going to be an economist or a climate change scientist. Maybe I’ll do both.
We had better demographics back then. The Baby Boomers were in their prime during the ‘90s.
Funny how they start predicting this right before an election.
There is no perfect market, it does what it does, it goes up and down. Anyone who predicts is only right when they play and get lucky.
We do know when rates go up the market goes down and vice versa. We know the economy ebbs and flows in a cycle. When consumers get full they stop consuming for a bit. On it goes.
Clintoon had nothing to do with that boom. Reagan set it up for him, the bust of high inflation was beat and the economy had to recover. A recovery is not a boom, just a recovery. Obama never even had that.
Old money doesn't make money in a recovery, just the new money put in at the right time and waiting on growth. People that crow about growth in a recovery give me a royal pain in the ass. Until the markets get back to their previous peak there is no growth in the market. Saying anything else is either stupid or dishonest.
MarketWatch, like Business Insider, is a nothing but a mouthpiece for globalist liberals.
Often I find their articles to be false flags to be taken as contrarian signals.
Here, they are likely trying to suck in the last few buyers at a market top who will be left holding the bag when a market downdraft hits.
In the 1990s, the baby boomers were in their prime working years, age 35 to 55.
During the 2020s, the millennials will be in the same age bracket. This generation is even larger than the baby boomers.
So, yes, the demographic foundations are there for a boom. Public policy could either encourage a boom, or stifle it. If the millennials join with the boomers to elect a decent government, we might have something.
“The era of Big Government is over!” Bill Clinton, State of Union speech, 1995.
The elites want to lure the sheeple deep into the stock market—and then enjoy watching them go broke when it crashes.
The budget was never balanced under Bill Clinton. There were several factors which made it appear so. Mostly accounting gimmicks
Making some expenditures off budget. So you still had to pay for them but they weren’t listed in the budget as an expenditure
Counting Social Security taxes as part of the general funds intake
And probably the biggest thing was the treasury borrowing much more of its money on short-term t-bills because they offered a lower interest rate, the drawback being that there was the possibility that they would have to be renewed at a higher rate. So the balance budget was more a temporary lowering of the cost of financing the deficit and the debt.
