I recall back in the 70 approx. when the market was booming the FED raised rates to keep things from overheating. Now the prospect of raising rates will kill the markets. Plus that yield curve inversion thingy where rates favor short term and discourage long term is a big RED FLAG!
Keeping all investors in check before they pull the rug out from under you.
Markets will crash when we go to war. There is no doubt that we will, it had been planned a long time ago!
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77695402 This time the economy is going to crash up, aka HyperInflation!!! Its only a matter of time, I wouldn't be surprised if we see the Dow hit 30k by years end. There are no signs of Hyperinflation in the market. Inflation rates are hovering around 2%. Even when the rates hit 16%+, during the Jimmy Carter years, was not considered Hyperinflation... There is no reason to think that an economy growing at 2%-3% can not grow 5%-6%. This will not cause Hyperinflation. The USA saw 5%+ growth during the Reagan Presidency. That was not Hyperinflation. Look at China, they were growing over 6% for years and they were not in Hyperinflation... The EU and other Countries are lowering their Fund Rates in order to compete with the USA. This is stimulating their markets and not causing hyperinflation... Lowering the USA's Fed Fund Rate 0.25% will not cause Hyperinflation... Your inflation is 9.5% by your 1980 metrics and 5.5% by your 1990 metrics.  Did you know that the CPI has been adjusted twice since the 1980's? Why this is important is that they have fundamentally changed how they measure inflation officially in order to better disguise it. The main point is that 80% of what is measured by the CPI is considered to be inelastic, this is a big problem since inelastic demand is never a good measurement of how prices fluctuate. So how can the average person discover true inflation?? Look at how Real Estate has skyrocketed despite the fact that the overall condition of the housing has either stagnated or degraded. Inflation can also be found in the Higher Education ponzi scheme. Compare the rapid rises in these industries with the relatively modest wage growth (which is also screwed by the fact that the top earners continue to earn more). It's time for you to wake up, or not. The choice has always been yours to make. Oh and if you don't believe me, I honestly don't care. Anybody who can critically think can research all of this for themselves and they should. The only way to defeat ignorance is to acquire and apply knowledge.
