I saw something recently that all new net purchases of stock are corporations using super cheap interest rates to buy back stock, which with lower equity, gooses their per-share earnings.

Another distortion caused by the Federal Reserve.

Cruz has no credentials to predict the market. Just copying Trump again.

As a career politician he certainly has no real world business experience.

I’m sick and tired of career politicians. I see what they have wrought.

Close... Cruz usually lets Trump take heat for at least a week for what he says, THEN Cruz starts saying it, after the media has finished crucifying Trump for saying it.

And, there will be an article posted by 1st shift, 2nd shift or 3rd shift declaring how brilliant it was and how it’s leading the way.

Just watch.

Most retirement accounts are tied to the Stock Market. This will not end well.

Yes, I heard Trump say this at least a week or so ago.

Yup, the old joke just becomes more and more relevant.

"How do you say Deutschbank in English?

Lehman Brothers.

I sure hope we don’t have another round of mortgage failures.

It seems to me to be a surety in that many of the failures, were refied to the same folks who couldn’t pay in the first place.

That is of course if I understand correctly.

You are correct in that the PE is not anywhere near 2008 levels, but FED is keeping interest rates much lower than in 2008.

There is simply no place to keep your money, because
there is no yield anywhere with safety of principle.

Although, if recession indeed comes back strong, PE’s will
quickly rocket up.

You are right that we are headed for the cliff at 100 mph.

However only ONE candidate has the parachute, Trump,
in the form of changing the horribly stupid foreign trade deficits with China, Japan, Mexico and others.

No country can survive $TRILLION trade deficits EVERY YEAR very long. Only Trump has actual experience in doing foreign trade deals. All others are clueless.

It will take 2 to 3 years for Trump to turn the ship around.

This ship ain’t turning around before it crashes and burns.

It can crash, but only Trump has the fire-hose to keep it from burning into ashes.

No, you are 100% correct, unfortunately.

I am probably lot richer than you. Because like Trump says, I aim very high, always.

From my vantage point, people are AGAIN borrowing from lenders since house values are rocketing up in many cities. “I want everything now!” mentality is pervasive. When given the chance, some people will take it. If they can not keep up with the higher mortgage payments (due to additional borrowing) most simply walk away from the house. There are literally millions of FORECLOSED properties everywhere I look.

I was looking for a condo in Florida, and found thousands of foreclosed properties all over Florida. Most are in bad shape because owners knew they were being kicked out, so they did not care.
