stock market crash

[jamesbrown]

If nothing happens this summer and life continues as like the year before, I'll be the first to admit I was wrong. But consider this, even if the disease was gone tomorrow and we had full employment, and everyone had ample cash in their pockets - it would take at least a year, minimum, to get the US back to the economic condition it was in a few years ago. And that was before the US started pi$$ing off its largest trading partner, China.

I see your bedtime stories are perfectly aligned, as usual...

Like how you assume the 'current affairs' / the economy are somehow connected to the stock market.

One is about the market popping (black swan) and the other is about the continuous rise of the market supported by central madness, which is nothing to do with the current affairs.

Nice try though.

The market popping is not a black swan event - please go and read what a black swan event is, or preferably read the book, before stating such waffle.

A black swan event is something happening no one saw coming (except for Bill gates).

It is natural then for folks to conclude the sell offs in the stock market are somehow related. Another way to think if it, were the stock market heavily undervalued, taxes / interest rates supper high, and we just came out of a recession a year ago - this black swan would not have made a fart worth of difference - and you know. The banks would then be in a position to lower rate, the government taxes whilst retaining some value in the currency without printing it.

The reason why markets are dangerous is the same reason it was 2 - 3 - 8 - 12 years ago - debt. Debt has been allowed to reach levels normally expected in a time of crisis - but we've never had it better over the last 20 years. Then along comes a crisis - and suddenly it is the reason why the market is in danger of collapsing rather than because it is has been inflated beyond the moon.

I welcome when reason returns to the species I really do.

How can you claim the market crashing is a black swan event then given you keep calling it? FFS, dim is an understatement for you.

Here's a simple definition of a black swan event.

high-profile, hard-to-predict, and rare events that are beyond the realm of normal expectations in history, science, finance, and technology.

Stock markets dropping are high profile, I'll give you that, but clearly not hard to predict as you do so every week! And they are certainly NOT beyond the realms of normal expectations in history.

As I've tried to explain to you before, the stock market dropping is NOT the black swan. The pandemic is NOT the black swan (many scientists have been predicting a pandemic, even a coronavirus, for years). The black swan event is world leaders closing down their economies en-mass, closing borders, in country lockdowns. THIS is the black swan - no one predicted it. It's certainly high profile and is not a normal event.

Come on boy ... please learn something if you're going to quote it

a crash happens when nobody is expecting it.
As long as there are people predicting crash it will not happen

So, when scoots stops predicting a crash, sell sell sell!
