The thing about record highs that makes them record highs, are the crashes that always follow.

Here is an article showing the levels of pessimism building, and highlights two very divided economic Americas ...

The divisions in politics, and personal earnings, are also reflected in the two big bets right now : stocks versus bonds.

... and I think that might be the most pessimistic stance of everything I just linked.

Essentially, yuck. I'm sure the market will stay irrational for as long as it can though. It always does.

I have the same feeling. That's why I'm staying in. I tend to be right when I do the opposite of what I feel.

I've covered what I'm not willing to lose already, and will let the rest ride.

I'm selling my rental property this month and have already started moving equities into bonds and metals.

It's just too high for comfort imho

I thought the amrket peaked almost two years ago-LOL! timing, timing, considering the job numbers and the GDP growth, I am surprised at the market.

I don't see any reason for market to collapse. Not that I haven't been wrong in the past, because I have been plenty. Just I don't see an event that will cause it to crash.

Recession though, yes that's happening.

It did. And every month after that.

Hmmm... Consider that the recession can start up to 2 years before and it can end up to 6 years later (than the start of the presidency). Don't forget to forget the recessions that don't follow the pattern (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_recessions_in_the_United_States). This makes the match easier

12   Shaman   2017 Jun 7, 5:34am  

We always have recessions in a fairly regular cycle. The severity of the recession is the only variable.

Buffet said:" Every 10 year or so, there will be dark clouds showing up in the financial market and it will rain gold for a short period of time, and my job is to be prepared and capture as much gold as I could."

Buffet said in 2012/3:"We do not need more than 20 billion cash, any cash above that, Berkshire will pull out the elephant gun and blow it"

Last week, somebody twitted Berkshire is 80billion in cash, about 40%?

The value guys will NOT though those bonds since they are return free risk.
For equities, value guys will not buy either although the return could be driven much higher by speculators.
Time wise, coercive North Korea has lasted somany decades. Coercive central banks can last a longer until the confidence in paper is lost.

Good. If market drops it will be a great buying opportunity! BUY LOW SELL HIGH!

Quigley says

Even an oscillating pattern can be stable.

So everything is everything? I disagree with that type of post-modern subjective re-evaluation of all words to be so non-specific they lose all meaning. Economic stability is not crashes and inflation on the scale we've seen. It's slow, steady growth based on production of real goods, and creation of needed services. What we have is growth based on inflation, and number manipulation(see chartman's posts), i.e. a confidence game.

Now a stable economy is not immune to some crashes, or rapid spikes, but those tend to be short lived, and quickly corrected. Only when you allow the kind of sustained, long-term manipulation that a central bank can produce do you get these large, sharp spikes and dips.
