On Wednesday, the Dow crossed the 20, mark for the first time ever, and this comes at a time when the U. Is this just a coincidence? As you will see, there has been a very close correlation between the national debt and the Dow Jones Industrial Average for a very long time. For example, when Ronald Reagan took office inthe U. And as you can see from this chart by Matterhorn. The cold hard truth is that we have been living way above our means for decades.

We would never have gotten to 20, on the Dow if Barack Obama and Congress had not gotten us into an extra 9. The blue chip reading finally cracked the 20, benchmark for the first time early Wednesday. During the current bull market, the second longest in history, the Dow has more than tripled since March And it took just 64 calendar days for the Dow to go from 19, to 20, That is an astounding pace, and financial markets around the rest of the planet are doing very well right now too.

In fact, global stocks rose to a 19 month high on Wednesday. Well, if Donald Trump wants to see Dow 30, during his presidency, then history tells us that he needs to take us to 30 trillion dollars in debt. Of course that would be absolute insanity even if it was somehow possible. Each additional dollar of debt destroys the future of our country just a little bit more, and at some point this colossal bubble is going to burst. We expect the market to see Dow 30, in my lifetime, and for my grandchildren to see Dow 50, in their lifetime.

My hope is that the market will continue to go up. But nobody can deny that valuations are already at absurdly high levels, and the only way that this party can keep going is to continue to fuel it with more and more debt.

But for the moment, there is a tremendous amount of optimism out thereand most experts expect the Dow to continue to set new highs. In fact, CNBC says that whenever the Dow crosses a new threshold like this it usually means good things for investors….

CNBC looked at market data from the past 30 years and zeroed in on the times when the Dow has crossed levels like 2, 3, 4, … all the way up to the 19, level it hit in November. At those times, investors can typically expect traders to push it up even higher, according to data from Kensho. But as USA Today has explained, not all Americans are benefiting from this stock market rally…. For decades, our debt has been growing much faster than our GDP has. By definition, this is an unsustainable situation.

At some point we will have accumulated so much debt that our financial system will no longer be able to hold up under the strain. Many were convinced that we would reach that point before the U. Either he can keep the debt party going for as long as possible, or he can try to get us to take some tough financial medicine right now.

If an attempt is made to deal with our debt problems now, we will experience severe economic pain almost immediately.

But if the can keeps being kicked down the road, our long-term prognosis is just going to keep getting worse and worse. And if we try to delay the inevitable indefinitely, at some point the laws of economics are going to make our hard choices for us.

We can continue to live way above our means as long as the world wants to finance it for us… Nothing more, nothing less. The moment they no longer want to, is the moment that bubble bursts, and unfortunately a lot of Americans actually do lose their livelihoods, and lives. Nothing more, nothing less. You are a woman of faith. We need to pray. Regardless of who holds the title of President. Obama did exactly what he said he was going to do. And now so far Trump has done what he said he was going to do.

The American people are the ones being torn up. Sorry for the rant, and thank you for being deep! I would consider a belief in one type of paper to hold any value beyond another is a type of religion. What do other governments gain by holding our debt? Do they think they will ever be repaid? Now is that faith or stupidity. It is possible, and God is still on the Throne.

Also, look at which Nations hold the majority of our debt. I say we fake it till we make it…ok the Obama recovery was fake we know this. But we have a real business minded man running our country now. He is doing amazing things in his first week I never would have dreamed possible!! He is a man of his word and I truly believe that we can be prosperous again.

He is not stupid. He knows the Fed is the enemy and we can restructure this debt somehow. I say we just default and not pay back the federal reserve!!! How come nobody has ever thought of this?? They print our money and then loan it back to the government charging interest. This is a racket.

I understand we owe other countries so we either pay them back or go to war. And if the national debt is such a big deal then how come no president has ever proposed paying it back? False hope… not Trump, not even god can save America and the world from the coming economic crisis. Why no one wants to pay back? Because the messenger who brings bad news will be shot.

God desires to save America but the problem is two fold. America does not want God in their business and they refuse to repent for it. Speak for yourself, little miss debbie downer. Many of us have hope that there are more people realizing that their only hope for becoming prosperous, is through Christian principles.

We are looking up, and hoping to bring many, many more with us; and that little sister is a positive thing. Those who know their Bible and how the story ends — knows better. You should really stop venting your personal frustrations for all to see.

It seems as if you have a personal problem and of course a spiritual one as well. So miss taken little sister soldier, you started this back and forth, of which I am obliged to come back at you, bearing the ropes of truth from the Lord. What you do with those ropes is your own doing or undoing. So, with that in mind here is your post that got the ole rope bearer wheels a turning. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night.

It is evident for everyone to see by what you have said to me over the past few days. You voted for Trump, and then continually bash him. How sacrilegious is that? Just saying, we can all see the ramblings of a double minded person at work, and someone that never takes responsibility for their actions and words. Take the ropes of truth, and use them to pull yourself out of the pit, and stop casting stones at others, just to make yourself feel superior, in some childish way.

Ah, we see you have resorted to condemnation, via the scriptures. So the words of truth, on the ropes of conviction, have you making more accusations. We that have eyes to see, know where your mind is centered. I based my answer in the only Word that testifies of itself. Up to seven times?

The only crookedness here, is in your double minded, forked tongue, vitriol against me, in the first attack comment from two days ago, that i copied and posted above…for all to see. You did it out of self-promotion on this site. You, like gsob, and a few others, take offense to my postings here, that overshadow your own self-pontificating agenda. That, dear sister, is what trumps truth, in your ministry. All that matters, is that you are always right and have the last word. I know, because I have seen it at work in your postings over the past year.

Any tiny bit of disagreement from another poster, and you are all over them like stink on schmidt. It is in the archives. I am going to take the high road and leave you to your folly rather than partake in evil with you as you lay sin to sin. Moochele sister soldier left wing nut! I got right down in the muck with ya for a few seconds, but have moved on to my next piece of work.

Little Children Love One Another As The Father Loves Us Let Us Love Our Sister God is Love and Love is Of God And everyone that loves is born of God, Let us love one another. God is love and love is of God And everyone that loves is born of God Beloved, let us love one another.

We admonish others when they go astray, just like s. Well, hopefully you will use the ropes of truth to free yourself, instead of becoming entangled in them as bondage. You were the first accuser. There could be hope for you if he like Hot Cocoa though:: Truth be told I know Our countries time to repent as a whole has passed. The hope we believe we are seeing build is actually a delusion.

The powers that be have their plan. The real battle field is in the hearts and minds of people. It is very sad to see but if you read 2 Timothy chapter 3 it is a mirror image of the World as a whole. Thankfully God has his plan to! Donald Trump has put America on the straight and narrow path toward economic success.

No more silly environmental regulations. He will also keep other countries in line through military strength. Obviously the writer does not know that the Dow Jones industrial average changes several component companies and modifies the divisor methodology each January. It will take that long to reduce it. Trump is already starting to reduce the spending. It will take a lot more cuts.

I think the collapse will come sooner though. The next round of liberals that take control of the establishment led administrations, will see to that, so they can bring about the shadow gov. By the grace of God, and prayers of Christians in America, we may become free of the initial bondage of such a calamity…but it will eventually come upon the whole world, as Antichrist comes into power over the beast system that is set up, for him.

Certain things the average Joe and Jane must turn to in loans to carry on with their lives. We must do these things in moderation of course. Then, there are those that take out loans to finance extravagances upon extravagances. They live well above their means for the sake of their pleasurable whims.

Therein lies the problem. Private and public sector included. More homespun guesswork from an uneducated and inexperienced blogger unfamiliar with debt ratios, current account ratios nor banking and finance whatsoever. One would think after being so ludicrously incorrect for such a protracted period one would attempt to educate themselves and the readers rather than continued doubling down on hyperbole and homespun guesswork.

What an outrageous disservice to any that have blindly followed while so many have prospered from the incredibly brilliant work of Central bankers over recent times. Deny it if you must; however those facts are evident daily when his readers financial statements are viewed juxtaposed to capital markets and financial assets.

Now he scrambles to place blame- the former adminstration, the current admin. The author is quite educated. He has an undergraduate degree in business. He also has a Juris Doctor, and I believe a Master of Laws degree. Furthermore, he has written well over a thousand articles since he started blogging in or so. And he has many other sites besides this one. The author has also written about that. Thank you again for describing YOURSELF so very perfectly along with your utter lack of comprehension as to market matters.

Why not make a promise to yourself, your viewers and any that may rely on your financial and business acumen, etc. Finance and economics cluelessness have been proven beyond any reasonable doubt whatsoever. Clinical denial and more recent gender oriented issues appear clearly evident. Real men address deficiency motivations in earnest- will DJIA 30, mark such self actualization???

I was just reading about the South Sea Bubble in Shares were widely held across the British Empire. The King was a Director of the company himself. Shares had gone up 8X in very short order!! The sky was the limit!! The British Empire was staggered.

Remember the Dot Coms? Remember the Mortgage Bust? Those 3 calamities in just my lifetime tell me it can happen again and it probably will. I agree with Spatial Memory below that we will see Dow 10K before we see Dow 30K.

If we do… A 30 Trillion Dollar Debt? You gotta be kidding me…. I would be happier if I saw some significant debt reduction. If not, it is time to head for the hills. As I commented on a previous article, the only way Trump can put this nation back onto a sustainable fiscal path is to reform the social insurance programs. Those programs are going to bankrupt this nation. I recall Greenspan saying that when Markets get out of whack, they tend to adjust … violently.

Because I realize that I could have gotten quite wealthy if I had bought stocks in and held them until now. Instead, I put most of my money into precious metals. Will that eventually prove to be a wise decision?

It seems that nothing matters. The Dow Jones may very well continue going higher. And our mountain debt may very well just keep getting larger. It seems there are no consequences to bad decisions anymore, except when we the underlings make bad decisions.

Then there are consequences. Asset allocation and diversification seems prudent with unprecedented CB intervention and related financial engineering. A disconnect means a zero correlation, which is only of use when mitigating risks in a portfolio of investments.

If your PM positions are physical holdings you can actually use them to back some profitable PM derivative trades, especially shorting mini futures and some unique Swiss contracts. I was also head of financial risk at a global life and pensions firm. Well you know what they say about a Fool and his money. A Rude Fool at that. Your day is coming. There is over religions, the chances that your god is the correct god is mathimatically improbable.

Now which one to choose? Humanity is so cruel to itself. I have said this often. What will you do with that dead Jew who got up and walked out of that Tomb? Zechariah was written approximately years before Jesus was born.

Chapters of Zechariah makes it clear that in the last days the world will become intoxicated over getting Jerusalem away from the Jewish people. It states that it will become a Burdensome Stone to the whole world, a Cup of Trembling, and the Lord will grind to pieces everyone that comes against Her.

Your Only Hope 1st Corinthians Well, two things come to mind. The Lord created Math, and you will have an eternity to realize you were told the truth, and the Truth is a Person. Nope man created math, just like man created religion, and just like man wrote your fairytail book. You have been told. Ignorance is not bliss!!!! Atheists and agnostics, by definition, focus looks to human agency and science for knowledge, not religion.

Christianity is not a religion, it is a way of life and a very big reality. Judaism, Catholicism, Islam, Mormonism, etc. Christianity is the only way to Heaven, and it is the only way to have freewill as granted by our Creator. Messianic Judaism is the next closest thing to Christianity, and we let God be Judge how that works out for each individual. Dec 23, literally all nations UN voted to part the Land of Israel, and remove Jerusalem from a regathered people.

You are right about money. I was going to reply to your other comment to me, but I will end this now, by saying…gsob, I give credit where credit is due. You do not know how to rightly divide the Word of God!!!!

I am seeking the truth. You have not revealed any to me, but have showed malice, and I have provided answers to sufficiently address your prophetic error and correct your misunderstanding. If you go away with doubt after your rounds with me, then the Lord I pray, will teach you the truth as He has taught me concerning this particular portion of Scripture. And that conclusion is based on your understanding, I hope you would agree.

I wonder which is worse, saying God Bless You after someone sneezes or when someone purports error as truth. The Spirit of God witnesses with my spirit that I am a child of God. Which goes to show that Christians are in a process called sanctification. You are supporting error as a Christian. That is possible you know. And if you purport error and praise up men who do so, you are still carnal and cause strife, willingly.

That is so pathetic. I am defending the truth. You however, in this day and instance, are not. I have said to the one you applauded, that his interpretation is in error. You are NOT defending the truth. To do so, indicates that seductive, self centered, smooth speaking of false prophets continues to infiltrate the simple minded sheep, whom are being tossed to and fro relentlessly by their false doctrine. The early church had two great enemies: The message of Revelation was that these two persecutors, inspired by Satan, would soon be judged and destroyed.

If you must slander someone, please keep it directed towards me and not my brothers or sisters. Once you understand this scripture, 1 Corinthians In other words, this happened when the Roman armies, made up of soldiers from the nations it conquered, went to war against Jerusalem and destroyed her in 70 A.

Have you finished studying Matthew chapter 24 yet? Your interpretation that the fulfillment of Zech. Mine is that it has been fulfilled. We both can not be correct. I learned that I was wrong and that those who taught it were also in error.

If you want to be evasive and defensive, nit picky and coy, if that brings you joy, please move on to someone else for your short lessons. One question at a time please and provide specific verses s.

I see you are grasping tenaciously to what you believe to be true. If you need to vent, I understand that to. If the literal approach is taken, one is left with the uncomfortable conclusion that the events in Revelation were fulfilled soon after they were written — between A.

One question at a time. After using Rome as His rod to smite Jerusalem, God turns on Rome in judgment. If Milton Terry had only lived long enough to see Israel regathering in the Land? I have no desire to see a great tribulation or a temple rebuilt, or to contribute to the demise of any people.

Christ is Himself is the good land. Christ in you, the hope of glory — is the highest peak of the Divine revelation, not apostate national Israel. Do not remain deceived. Everything and anything any sinner can possible need or want is in Christ alone. He is the fulfillment of all the Scriptures. There is no going back, unless you are blinded. It has been fulfilled by Christ Himself, the sovereign One, in the 1st century. You took this directly from the comment section of a previous article.

What do you have that you did not receive? Why do you act as having not received then? The bottom line is truth…… and in this case, regarding if Zech. Those who teach differently are distracted away from the truth and diminish the glory of the new covenant established in the blood of Christ the Lord. Most of the book of Revelation has NOT been fulfilled.

And that in no way diminishes the glory of the New Covenant. God protects those of His weak children that are unable to muster up enough faith…the size of a mustered seed. Remember several months ago when he spiritualized all of Matthew 24, and I believe you got involved? I honestly thought he and I would go our separate ways? I said earlier, and I will say again, be it Believer or Unbeliever.

I thought something was off with his theology. There is a name for those who adhere to the doctrine that revelation has been fulfilled…. Let me help you not to improperly describe me, I am a Saint in Christ Jesus and its not about me. A Partial Preterist and Postmillinialist, neither of which is close to the superiority of the theology you have…. I have told him for the last year or two that he is an Equal Opportunity Basher. Be it Believer or Unbeliever.

John was a Jew. The other minor summation, that you follow, was that it was written because of the ignorance of the daythat Nero was the Antichrist, and all was written and fulfilled around the dates of 69 AD, under Vespasian. Nero killed many Christians by their flesh, but Odrama may have killed just as many by following him, as deaths of their souls.

How many millions of Bible toting Christians, praised him, especially blacksand still do until this day. A vote for a liberal, especially the evil ones like billery and Odrama, is a vote against God. It has put many a soul in jeopardy. Looks like I am going to have to block you again. From a historical perspective he almost reminds me of Martin Luthor King, Jr. Now, now, please behave yourself and watch your demeanor and conduct, yes…. I am a fool for Christ. Isreal has been violating International law and since it is part of the UN, must abide to UN law.

First Deed of Land ever issued is in Scripture, and that has been around a whole lot longer than the UN. Ah, but the very fact there is so many reveals an underlying truth,…. Some folks choose to not recognize that profound and fundamentally basic truth and categorically dismiss religion altogether.

Is there a god? The very fact that you are alive proves that God exists. Do you agree with that? If not, tell me, why are you here? To say there is no God, one must be an idiot. Walk out and look up, the Heavens declare His Glory. Saying there is not a Creator God is stock options trading strategies india a silly comparison of taking all the pieces of a Swiss watch and placing them in a shoe-box and shaking the box, then opening the box, and the watch is together and running!!!

As the Bible states only a Fool says there is no God. The Lord Jesus put on a tent of human flesh and became one of us. He is invisible so, He left us His Word and He has poured out His Spirit. The gospel message continues to be proclaimed. What more can we provide you? Do you see the Christian voter block as having been for the Iraq war?

Or maybe against the Iraq war, but it was less important than other voting priorities? Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. PMs are more meant as a means to retain the value of your money; which historically it does.

And yes, stocks are based upon fiat currency overvaluing them and will lead to an eventual devaluation. Get ready for the dollar to go perhaps as high as on the DXY from its present level of around Oil can be and is purchased by countries in currencies other than US dollars and the most common currency other than the US dollar that oil is traded in is the EuroZone Euro. Any thoughts on why the dollar has been so strong it has been able to drive a large trade deficit the last few decades?

My main ideas are:. Never go with 2 in an investment class. This creates a chain reaction drawing in foreign-sourced dollars as well. Why would the dollar collapse that far instead of just the economy collapsing the way it did from ? There is no asset class that remains as the ideal investment all the time.

We should shift between asset classes based on the cycles they are in. Most of the time the length of cycles is around 7 or 8 how much money does a nfl trainer make Top to top or Bottom to Bottom or between 3 to 4 years Top to Bottom.

If you say that, you lost a lot of money in PM, I believe that most of your PM is not bought in but when PM topped in or in the 4 years to when PM was how much does a master electrician make in texas the bearish or down part of its cycle.

The stocks cycle is negatively correlated to PM and so was in the bullish or up part of its cycle. If you had bought your PM in and held till now you will have more than tripled your investment. Check the Gold to Dow Ratio. If you bought PM inyour PM calculate daily pivots forex have outperformed the Dow. Based on cycles,the years from to is the wrong time to buy PM.

I believe that you bought a fair amount of silver and that made your loss more severe. Silver is gold on steriods. We are now in the bullish part of the cycle and based on typical cycle length, should peak in The peak in should be higher than the peaks in Point 2 The Dow may not go down to 10, but go up to 30, even though cycles tell us that now is not the time for stocks.

By printing huge amounts of money and pumping it into the system, both debts and stock prices can be pushed higher like mentioned in the above article. How much did the Dow gain from till now? If the government continue to step up the printing of money and increasing the national debt to allow the Dow to reach 30, PM will be may times higher than the present prices.

You had made money if you bought in the right stocks and if you had a heart to get rid of them timely. Most people achieve neither of the two. If in July had you invested that money in bitcoin when one bitcoin cost 8 cents you would now have 10, times more money.

The anti-intellectual plebeian needs to retake economics He is simply unable to comprehend the glory and supreme, pulchritudinous nature of science and its connection to capitalism—the very fuel of innovation.

This individual must be that throbbing, festering blister that bogs down productivity. I heard somewhere that you were an attorney.

They possess a stellar banking system, but their educational institutions is lackluster compared to others. Yes, the what is the highest the dow has ever reached goes up—its regurgitated truth from the dismal science that everyone, from the chief executive to his janitor, are well aware.

No, I did not forget about gold, as I have several kilograms of it. I am most fond of gold, as it is very useful in electronics, and Rolex manufacturing. I must offer my conjecture. I revoke my previous statement. You are likely not a withering philistine, nor are you severely uneducated. You simply deceive the ignorant masses, so you are by definition a charlatan. Now, what did God say about lying in this articleand utilizing deception for personal gain advertisement revenue on this website?

How is Federal Reserve detrimental? I am not all that fond, but such sentiment is personal opinion. It would be worse if Congress or God forbid any POTUS were able to control the money.

Think of the social and economic ramifications, which are indeed dire. The debt, in a way, was supposed to theoretically limit the spending power of sane government. Ours is not sane, it is insane.

Personally, it will not affect me and the wife in anyway whatsoever. Yes we still have problems, and will continue to forex ticker symbols bumps in the road. Eventually, when the liberals get their chance again, and they will; it will all go south again, and the blessings will turn into curses, to bring about the consummation of the end of this Age.

Closing milestones of the Dow Jones Industrial Average - Wikipedia

But for now, just look at it as a blessing from above. Yesterday was the first day of a long trend of positive possibilities for America. Yesterday marked a beginning of new possibilities for making America great again. We saw all the number sevens 7 when Michael laid out all the lists of the number 7, that were attached to Trump. Yesterday I saw a bigger number than the DOW hitting 20k; it was the date of The Number 16 The number sixteen is symbolic of love and loving.

In the Old Testament, 16 of the various names and titles for God specially signify His constant, never-ending love for the children of Israel. All the numbers are more than symbolic; they cause many to have a renewed hope for their future. Your commentary overlooks the several changes that has occurred in the Dow 30 over the years. It would be interesting to see what the Dow would be at today, with the components, presuming they are still in black scholes option pricing model ppt today, and not the several changes in the Dow that occurred over the years.

With the same 30 component stocks that were in the DJIA 30 Dow back inthe valuation of the Dow would presently be NEARLY ZERO with only one of those component stocks even still in business. All of the other stocks have either failed or been acquired and substituted from the group of stocks on the Dow. Never fly higher than you care to fall. The higher it goes, the harder the fall will be.

When I lost my good paying telecom job inmy K plan was later used to do some work on the house and other needed things. Anyhow, the old adage about what goes up much come down, applies to the stock market and world financial markets. I have the feeling that when it does happen, it will be ugly. The stock market is like a gold digger. She pulls you in with all the frills and thrills, and once she has drained you of all your money and self respect she dumps you.

I learned that when I was 32 years old with a 21year old! Remember the crash of ? Yeah, they pull you in like Michael Corleone said. Why do you keep totally embarrassing yourself putting up such nonsense that shows a total lack of comprehension? There is a formula process that has been active since the s. The government creates paper cash out of nothing from which they pay the bills and an endless level of inflation occurs.

Then we encountered a bill we could not pay. That was the debt incurred by the war in Vietnam. Our relationship with other currencies does seller keep earnest money if buyer backs out very much in jeopardy with too many people owning dollars abroad.

A commodity with limited amounts available was gold. Another one was land. On the land front, the value in dollars of land increased substantially in the 70s. Inanother crook named Reagan destroyed the economic base of raises through labor unions with his decision to destroy the Air Controllers union. That is why I call him a crook. A lot of people think he was a great President.

He also manipulated the labor board so Unions were not viable any more. Labor laws dating all the way back to FDR were cast aside 5 minute binary options methods 360 system the middle class paid for it big time in not keeping up with inflation with wage increases like we had done before.

None of which is publicized in the public media. I was a Real Estate agent when those interest rates destroyed the marketplace for Real Estate. I was a union steward when Reagan violated the trust of the middle class with anti-labor actions. When I left the labor force and retired the wage increases at my company were lucky to be 2.

The entire economy of this country is dependent on the labor force having discretionary income. Otherwise everything is paid for with credit that ends up in massive bankrupties. The current Republican in charge is setting policies that will trash the retail industry of this country making even the least purchase double what it costs today.

Retail industry cannot national biodiversity strategy and action plan pdf without a wage base for the average people out there that gives them discretionary income to work with.

They will be lucky if they do not starve. It is no wonder to me that corporations have left our shores in such heavy numbers. Bringing them back to our shores is a wonderful idea. Except the back lash of price increases on the average retail goods. And that will occur. One thing he is doing right is to trash the bureaus of government.

Another is to reduce regulation and taxes. But without a balancing factor in wage increases it will cause the greatest inflationary depression in history.

This debt mcdonalds stock buy sell hold will either be declared a bankruptcy or it will probably be paid back at about 10 cents on the dollar as our currency is destroyed. Well spoken in all you said, and well informed; Unions have been abusive in their past and became too powerful and excessive in their own right, but they were created under great duress and sacrifice by those at their beginning who saw the excesses and abuses of the robber barons under unfettered Capitalism.

The pendulum swings in both directions with nearly all things in life. There is a golden place between Liberalism and Conservatism. Culturally, we have moved way too far to the left and the pendulum will swing back. The majority has little voice in our current environment and Trump was the response to this.

The sad note, is that civilizations move gently to the left, but when it becomes necessary to correct the excesses of liberalism, the move to the right will nearly always be painful and with much loss. Unions have become to powerful? And please, tell me how we have gone to far left. The only reason the Dow hit 20k is because Trump signed our death warrant in the form of approving Dapl and KXL…buckle up folks global warming is gonna be excelerated like none other.

So by this analysis, you should have voted for Obama! By the end of his third next term you could have probably doubled or tripled your money. The US could have being in Weimar Republic territory already, with hyperinflation by now….

I think the best we may hope for Trump is that he can bring enough industry back to America before the eventual world wide collapse. When this takes place and I am convined it willwe will be much better able to weather the storm if we produce nearly everything we require here. I wonder whether installed new head unit now speakers dont work will see Dow 60,80, in a few years.

People of all nations may be looking to shed their dollars, which may be perceived as becoming more worthless by the day like everything in their own economies. If they think holding the dollars is less advantageous within their own ecomomies, they may dump them into the only place they can quickly put them forex balikbayan box reviews use: Loaves of bread were as cheap as 39 cents a loaf at Ralphs here in Southern California last week.

Often hyperinflationary events come with a stage of deflation. Velocity of money slows during the deflation depression stage and when enough money is printed to counter that situation by the irresponsible actors in control of our money supply.

As that happens, the money begins losing inherent value in noteably shorter and shorter periods of time: The numbers go up but the values do not. Credit expansion causes inflation. Money that does not yield anything is without any value. Twenty years ago 1 million cash invested in bonds yielded Enough for a modest living.

Today you need to pay something to keep the cash on an account. The central banks have killed our economic system. Unfortunately these idiots are still allowed to stay on the helm. Massive corporate how much money did psycho make for hitchcock buybacks are the exact opposition of dilution in stocks and result in far less shares of stocks outstanding.

Regulation U has covered securities credit extended by commercial banks since Two significant events occurred in and First, in the Federal Reserve Board adopted Regulation G to cover securities credit extended by lenders other than banks, brokers, and dealers.

Regulation G was merged into Regulation U in Second, in the Board received the authority to publish a list of OTC stocks that were subject to Regulation U to the same extent as exchange-traded stocks. Thanks again for the many laughs. Bloomberg has very online stock brokers canadian covered the impact of corporate buybacks on extreme manic stock valuations.

The Federal Reserve CERTAINLY is relevant. Gold has been a store of wealth for centuries and without doubt has appreciated substantially while you repeatedly predicted absurd guesswork between per oz. So, what is your opinion about at least having some silver and gold as a wealth preserver if the dollar should collapse, like Wiemer Germany?

If you do not thnk PM are good for that, what do you think is a rsi pro forex trading system term wealth preserver in the event oif an economic collapse? The day before, the all-important US stock index, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, closed above 10, for the first time in history.

But the Wall Street Journal answered those naysayers, as the headline of stock chart buy pattern recognition second article on the front page ominously read:.

US stocks right now are selling at the HIGHEST price-to-sales ratio in at least 15 years, and far higher than it was before the crash. I only wonder out loud, how will the have,s keep the have nots keep from tearing down the whole system in favor of a more equitable one. What is gold compared to food and security in the end reduction sauce? Remember in water world the movie that dirt bought Chits and chits bought drinking water and tomatoes ect …items from the past were used differently and values change post civilization!

The debt is backed by the stocks. No debt is backed by stocks except MARGIN DEBT used to purchases stocks. Stock shares are EQUITY POSITIONS. You have zero factual knowledge. Only in the context that it relates to CORPORATE STOCK BUYBACKS which has been the primary driver of the markets over the past 8 years.

Continue providing how little you know- obviously near zero after that comment. Stick with cut and paste your guesswork is ludicrously flawed. Media will spoon feed that data in the future then you can add that to your pretend.

Watch and learn again. Federal Reserve officials, looking out at mostly calm financial markets, are starting to wonder whether tranquility itself is something to worry about.

Stock prices have made strong advances over the past several years, yet market analysts see further gains, arguing that the selloffs of August and early represent a healthy correction. But this rise in stock values has been underpinned by financial engineering and liquidity — setting the stage for a global financial crisis rivaling and early The conditions for a crisis are now firmly established: Michael, you forgot to mention the corporate buybacks.

Anytime that sort of nonsense and stupidity happens, there is ALWAYS A VERY RUDE SHOCK to return the markets to fundamentals and that is often referred to as a CRASH. Markets have never been more efficient. The issues are much more likely within the nucleus accumbens and extreme aversive salience issues- look homeward.

Juxtaposed to the incredible gains of recent years, you guesswork would have decimated any foolish enough best way to make money on flyff follow.

And what I have stated for the past 8 to 10 years has been and is entirely true, accurate, and correct. Fundamentals never lose relevant regardless of how irrationally overvalued and exuberant the markets get, but rather become more important option value selected php mysql ever in such situations.

If you turn the charts upside down or view them while standing on you head they may confirm your guesswork. Real world price action proved you horrendously incorrect and incapable of adapting.

Bonds are a global phenomenon with even bigger bubbles elsewhere, particularly in NIRP countries, such as those in Europe, and in Japan. And the damage they ods output rtf options do to investors is huge. Are you really not aware of those straightforward historical facts? Debt is not always a bad thing.

But, the correct use of debt as a means of leverage has fueled Trump to billionaire status. Thus, we fire the economic engine back up and use the increased revenue to deal with debt. Looks like what is collapsing is your BS nonsense with total disregard for facts and fundamentals. But, facts are irrelevant without opinions and thoughts about how to apply what is known—opinions should be shared and appreciated—even when countered.

I feel like every life I come in contact with has something to teach me—and I appreciate them all. Books are filled with facts; if read, knowledge is gained. But, experience breeds wisdom from those facts. But, when possible, have an once of respect for one another. And, dare I say, God Bless. Any other kind of debt is neither good nor productive debt. A nation can add a port, or innovative rail, or highways, etc that make logistics more efficient.

This would lower American production costs, make us more competitive on the global scale. This in turn increases production, income, tax revenues, etc. Oversimplification, but sound concept. And, this is just one example. It likely allows us to further reduce corporate taxes.

The trick is controlling what debt funds. I appreciate your input and your skepticism of government; but, good debt is a tool—maybe the right tool to avoid a collapse!

Listen partner, I agree with you Whole-heartedly on that. But, the fact is, we are not at ground zero. The author is not incorrect when he says that halting government borrowing will have a detrimental impact on our economy—and.

The author assumes that any additional debt will be wasted—as it almost always is. We have a very different president that understands how to use debt to create incredible wealth. And, while public debt does differ from private debt, Trump has demonstrated an unquestionable ability to translate private skills into the public realm. Understanding the considerable tons of logistics that we move around this country by both rail and truck, there are tremendous opportunities to improve the system.

But, neither will trucking companies build new roads, nor rail outfits lay upgraded tracks. This is that unique void where government can have a positive impact. Government needs to get the heck out of healthcare, insurance, and welfare both individual and corporate welfare and play a role more consistent with where Adam Smith would have recommended. I hate bumping heads so much, but wold you seriously just have us go into economic collapse out of fear of government debt without even pondering the potentials of debt used in a positive productive way?

And, government debt is very different from private debt. If the government builds a new road, I promise you that the land near and around that road became worth much more. Partner, that all translates into real wealth creation. I just think that there may be an opportunity with this President to utilize debt in a positive way. And yes, it involves a leap of faith and some serious risk taking, but a lot of Banks earned a lot of money by trusting and loaning money to Trump money—they see him as a risk worth taking—I do too.

My country would be failing with little to no tax base, and yours would be thriving. So, the moral of the story is—good debt—not bad debt. Avoid social programs and the crap that has overloaded the US with debt without creating a means to pay the debt though production, efficiency and increased tax base. Anyhow, I do enjoy our back and forth by the way—it makes me think. If you own land in the desert your property values do not necessarily increase at all if a new federal highway goes through it.

Hey a question for all of you here. Where is all the FEMA camps Obama was gonna put you in? First, FEMA camps are nationwide established under Rex 84 and other legislation. Second, they have been active since the beginning of the UNEX16 drills that followed Jade Helm Thirdly, FEMA Corps and Civilian Corps have been active since Jade Helm Fourthly, we have violent unrest by deliberate deception on precisely how the US democratic process works.

Fifthly, they are to be transferred to foreign partners at an unspecified date by Military Manuals and operating procedures. Implementation under Bismarkianism is Marital Law mirroring the Wiemar Agreement. Governmental fiefdoms is the foundation of Oligarchy. Public-Private Partnerships are the catalyst to wealth effect and wealth redistribution and the foundation of Kleptocracy.

Public-Private Mergers are enhanced and centralized catalyst of wealth effect and wealth redistribution aka single payers that is the foundation of Plutocracy. Plutocracy rule for extended periods of time becomes an Aristocracy. The only reason to reference HW Bush, Clinton, W. Bush, and Obama at this point is that for over 20 years the enhancement of Progressive Government towards its pinnacle as a Plutocracy is effectively complete.

Welcome to Progressive Utopia that dates back to around FEMA stands for the Federal Emergency Management Agency and its facilities are all about housing people in the event of major emergencies that may occur in the US.

Thank you for describing your utterly clueless assertions so very perfectly. Are you really so dimwitted and ignorant that you do not comprehend what the big picture numbers are on government spending and GDP in the USA? You are correct I do need to work on that know. My sanctification process has a way to go. I appreciate your comment. When have you ever heard of a central bank going bankrupt? Yes your right,BUT The government can deficit spend ,the economy must be maintained and protected by the fed!

In his remarks, Greenspan said greater budget discipline was needed, expiration of Congressional rules that enforced it.

The Federal Reserve only sets 3 interest rates and none of them have anything to do with the US economy where all interest rates are keyed off the yields interest rates on US Treasuries.

The BOND MARKETS SET INTEREST RATES IN THE US ECONOMY AND NOT THE FEDERAL RESERVE. The yields interest rates in the bond markets have been SOARING EVER SINCE JULY and that is where all interest rates that affect the US economy are keyed off, and NOT the only 3 interest rates set by the Federal Reserve which simply do not matter a hoot in the US economy.

The ONLY applicability of the Federal Funds Rate is INTERBANK BORROWING to clear nightly transaction balances which is now practically NEVER UTILIZED as the banks are awash in trillions of dollars of EXCESS RESERVES and have no need to borrow from each other.

As to interest rates on savings accounts, BANKS ARE AWASH WITH EXCESS CUSTOMER DEPOSITS AT A TIME WHEN DEMAND FOR BORROWING IS VERY LOW which is why interest on savings rates is so low and that is not likely to change much. Some of us must come across as sane!!!! As long as political policy is to favor inequality, Price to Earnings ratio will continue to go to the moon.

This is simple arithmetic. Why do you put inequality in quotes? Do you not believe that society has become more unequal since Reagan was elected? Do you think that the laws of supply and demand have been repealed when it comes to investment dollars? All Americans are equal as citizens. There has always been a very significant difference in income and assets between the richest and poorest Americans but never before have there been more wealthy Americans than now in Here in Los Angeles County, more than 3 million of us are millionaires and as a state California has more millionaires and billionaires than any other state in the US due to highly elevated assets values in real estate and equities and other things.

Largely due to illegal immigration and excessive breeding by the poor we also have a third of Californians living today on federal and state welfare payments, but that certainly is not the fault — nor the responsibility — of people who do have substantial means. My main concern is economic growth and our ability to continue doing so instead of crashing and burning. The economy consists of hundreds of millions of product and service offerings bumping up against hundreds of millions of consumers with dollars in their pockets.

Obviously rich will only spend up to their satiation level. If you sum up all the dollars in non-rich hands and the satiation levels of the rich then that is what is available for people creating products to shoot for in sum.

If this number goes down then the economy shrinks. It is as simple as that. That obviously involves additional factors of production not being needed, and consumption out of stock prices and home values going away, which can start a vicious chain reaction.

These are things you should understand if you are on a blog like this one. Obviously dollars that are over the satiation levels for the rich go into investments of some sort. When more dollars go into the stock market, prices of stocks go up. When less dollars go into the supermarket, earnings of stocks go down. As wealth concentrates into the hands of the few, this decreases the pool of dollars available for consumption and increases the pool of dollars available for investment. From a morality perspective I am actually slightly conservative.

But working through the mechanisms of how the economy really works has made me progressive. Reward motivation for success Vs Aversive Salience. Risk fear of risk, miscalculated in your case due to lack of knowledge and experience. Yet despite daily confirmation from nearly every economic and market benchmark you continue to foist ludicrous misinformation.

Salience neuroscience — Wikipedia. LOL Obviously caused you aversive salience — identity crisis with each incremental gain in key market and economic benchmark.

The capital markets related comedy has been priceless!!! Untill that profit motive pushes global warming to a point were the human race is exterminated…. Scandal of fiddled global warming data… http: USA has actually been COOLING since s, the hottest decade on record… http: That is an immutable and irrefutable fact.

What good is the profit motive if their are fewer total profits available to be won? It is just like when there are job openings for one in ten applicants, if you are an individual, look at motive. If you are an economy, look instead at creating more jobs. Future profits are essentially UNLIMITED and depend on production of goods and services that consumers want to buy and are willing to pay for.

If the total dollars able to pay for goods is less this year than the total dollars that were paid for goods last year, then the total goods bought has to go down. Do you deny this? There is MORE MONEY THAN EVER in the US to purchase goods and services and more than six times as much as currently there was in What does M2 supply have to do with the money available to buy goods?

How much can Joe spend in the next year and how does this connect to M2? Third, how would anyone calculate what Joe could spend in the next year based on those numbers?

How much can he spend by Dec 31? GDP is measured as a total per year, right? This is a wealth delta, right? Can we adjust for total changes to private debt levels after calculating the rest? I am trying to track consumer spending. Sum up all the Joes across the country, maybe many making 20k and a few making 1M or even 1B per year and you have the consumer face of the economy. I hope that we at least agree that when consumer spending drops, business equipment drops at least in proportion.

It would appear that his expenditures are consuming all of his income and you are confirming he has no cash holdings or savings account, so where is his money being spent? What does he owe in the way of liabilities to other?

Vehicles, mortgages, housing expenses, food expenses, medical expenses, taxes, etc. As to GDP, Gross Domestic Product GDP is the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country during a given time period.

There are two measures of GDP: Nominal GDP is the value of production at current market prices, here measured in millions of US Dollars. For further details on measuring GDP, see:.

I claim that Frank buys exactly what he has appetite to buy — no more, no less. Total spending is a function of consumer spending and the rate of change of consumer spending that goes up and down strictly faster than consumer spending goes up and down. If the wealth of the Joes gets too small then we have a problem because great ideas might have plenty of VC money looking for them, but they cannot get profitable because of lack of customers.

Now that was one eventful week. President Trump wasted not a minute in making good on a series of campaign promises. A bevy of executive orders moved to rein in Obamacare, withdraw from Trans-Pacific Partnership TPP trade negotiations, tighten immigration, cut regulation and advance the Keystone Pipeline. No earth-shattering surprises there. Friday evening from the WSJ: Governing Without a Script. There were enough disquieting developments this week to dent confidence, though break-out bullish exuberance proved resilient.

Unwavering faith in the course of central banking surely underpins the markets, confidence that I expect to be challenged in My focus — one that the world now largely neglects — is on unsound global finance. Yet it is anything but a new experience for speculative markets to disregard latent financial fragilities. For the yearthe growth rate dropped to 1.

It was worse even thanwhen GDP growth tottered along at 1. And it matched the growth rate in Both and were the worst since when the US was in the middle of the Great Recession. Borrowing for productive investment is one thing. Borrowing for consumption is another: Fully correct in your world??? Edison General Electric formed becomes general electric inis removed from djiaadded back in djia Obviously you just done comprehend the actual facts despite being presented with the full and complete information!

Read that Wikipedia article to actually comprehend the composition of the Dow Jones Industrials 30 index. That article causes you to type: President Donald Trump wants to stimulate the American economy, but he has shown no interest in existing trade deals or in the basic rules of economics.

It is a dangerous cocktail for German industry. It has been quite a scene at Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in New York recently, with a never-ending parade of stretch limousines and armored S-Class Mercedes pulling up to the building. The heads of Ford, Tesla, Boeing and dozens of other companies have all dropped by for an audience with Donald Trump.

Behind the scenes, this much has become clear: They came to hedge their bets. They are on the defensive, in the hopes that Trump will be less aggressive with those who he knows. Senior executives in Germany have been keeping close tabs on the stream of visitors heading for an audience with Trump, full of concern and nervous about what the future might hold.

There is significant fear that they too might become Trump targets. Nobody knows what rules are still valid in this new political era, one in which billions in value can be destroyed by a single tweet.

An era in which it is no longer clear who is a friend and who is an enemy. Five clowns characterized on the graph above. Clowns in various degrees. Is Donald the sixth? Some may say Donald is our savior. The order that the elite demand. Seriously, Christ is the only Savior that is and will ever be. WORLD ORDER SHAKEN… PRIEBUS: Hoping for better, prepping for the worst as always.

One has to go back to JFK or even further back to Teddy Roosevelt to find a decent President. Bank of America calls it the Icarus Trade. The warning signs of a market top are not yet flashing red. Markets will conclude by the summer that Trumpian stimulus does not add up to much, and that the reflation narrative is a hoax. When we observe the greatest follies of our predecessors, the episodes of speculative madness that come most immediately to mind are the pre-crash bubble peaks of, and to a lesser extent, Unfortunately, we are in the midst of yet another episode of equivalent speculative madness, but one that will only be recognized in hindsight, and in the recollections of our children.

They too are likely to take pride in a feeling of superior knowledge, forgetting the same lessons, and eventually creating another bubble and collapse of their own. The herd mentality is human nature. That also is human nature. The stock market bubble that ended with the September peak began in Augustrunning just a few days beyond 8 years in duration.

The bubble that ended with the March peak began in Octoberrunning fully 9 years and 5 months in duration. Those two episodes represent the longest bull markets in U. The current half-cycle began at the March low, and has now run 7 years and 10 months in duration, making it the third-longest advance in history, placing it just 2 months short of the instance, but a full year and 7 months short of the instance.

Likewise, by the time the bull market from the low extended into late, the market became much more susceptible to corrections. Put simply, once the bull market was as mature as the present one has become, further market gains were not smooth.

Nor were they ultimately durable. Another legacy talking head was a few fractals miscalculation on transition from capitalization weighted index to float weighted index in unprecedented easy money and bulge bracket friendly backdrop. My landscaper provided closer guesswork than either of you.

Call it whatsoever you wish. In the immortal and delightfully eloquent words of George W. NASDAQ back and fill potential breakaway gap Incrementally, the left has done everything possible to bring in the New World Order, via eliminating middle class America.

On that subject, why do the Femi-Nazi female elite and their dumbed down minions, have such hate for anything or anyone that wants to keep the USA…sovereign? The muslims have no respect or use for women, except two things; to prepare meals for them, and give them sex upon demand.

They will kill them if they cry rape, or make any attempt to become more like western women. They have become as evil as the people they say have a right to come here. Remember in the movies when the good guy and bad guy would climb the stairs all the way to the top of a building before the bad guy fell off the top all the way down?

The Dow, hats have come out of the drawer after an agonizingly long wait that had commenced in early December with the Dow Jones Industrial Average tantalizingly close to the sacred number before the selling started all over again.

What a ride it has been. But when it comes to revenues of the 30 Dow component companies — a reality that is harder to doctor than ex-bad-items adjusted earnings-per-share hyped by Wall Street — the picture turns morose.

Janet yellen and the gang will continue and I am sure invent new and highly creative accounting tricks to keep the rigged game going. The day will come when the cards all come tumbling down….

During The Trump Era, Will Men Finally Start Acting Like Men Again? Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind? Should he argue in unprofitable talk, or in words with which he can do no good?
