You don't need to be expert to know one thing that stock market is standing on pillars provided by QE.
QT will make it go down if not sink.

Bay area and also San Francisco will do fine in long run.
I will see degradation to make prices low so that elites can scoop up rentals and then the cleanup will start.
(Pelosi and cult in spite of all drama are also capitalists in their personal life and invested heavily in this area)

It will be stupid to call this area quits. SF will be cleaned up even if elites have to bring republicans to take the blame like they did in NY later last century.

They may bring Dhillon as mayor to do some hard hitting on crime.

American parents are tolerant and want no harm to Alphabet soup of life styles as long as they contain it to themselves.
Once they see their kids are target, the hell will break lose.
The alphabet soup life styles may receive a islamic nation like treatment.. It is best if they remain within limits and mind their own business and not test patience of American parents. America will always be slight center right county of tolerant but somewhat traditional people.

In a new poll, parents plan to vote Republican by a 28-point margin. It seems the policy of inflicting misery on kids for two years didn’t go over well.

Let us see how long Asian Americans tolerate this before jumping to republican ship to fix this?
There is inherent tendency of free society to seek safety and SF bay area government is failing big time and it will bring change.

Not true.

Modi is agent of globalists to establish Hindooo $1 a day wage slaves to give them upper hand over American labor.

It's not rocket science. Cheap money is inflating the currency which drives up asset prices. Pulling that away will slow/stop the inflation and drive down asset prices.

The earnings part of the P/E ratio was elevated in 2021 because of all the "free" money governments were giving to their citizens. There was also plenty of cash-out re-fi's people were spending.

The GDP contracted about 1.4% during the 1st quarter and overall spending from the federal government is forecasted to be about $1.3 trillion less than last year. Cash-out re-fi's have gone down dramatically since interest rates went up. Europe is in a recession and China is a mess. It is difficult to increase earnings with the economies declining.

Inflation is also having an impact on profit margins they also are declining.

While it is possible for stocks to go up with declining earnings and increasing interest rates, it would be an anomaly.

Any idiot with half a brain knows the only thing propping up the 300% over inflated stock market across the board, is the millions of captive employees mentally entrapped to put a large chunk of their shitty pay into their 401K. There's a lot of those people about to go missing and fall off the map.
Companies have not been producing all of the value they claim, they keep growing because of all of the money thrown into the pool of capital they have, through people "Playing" the stock market and and going "any many, mini mo" when choosing an index fund for their 401K portfolio.
Those folks that have maintained their belief in hanging onto cash or saving money in the bank, are going to be smartest folks in the room.

I hope they lead the charge of America's next economic rebound, because that's what America needs, is sensible entrepreneurs hiring competent sensible people.
America is about to learn, not everyone is Warren Buffet, now get your asses back to work!

Just avoid the tech trannies and everything hip the big hedge fund "managers" have been buying. Then you'll be fine, plenty of value stocks out there

Stats? asking price reductions doesnt mean YoY or even QoQ is negative.....

The only reason it's going to update NY is all the subsidies, and the lack of good jobs there. That and the amount of water available. If NY wasn't such a bad place to run a business, they would have gotten a chip plant years ago.

Great. That backlog order for talking Real Dolls is going to disappear!

America is trying to fix the chip shortage one factory at a time

A billion-dollar chip factory just opened in upstate New York. The Biden administration wants more.

It's already there. It's essentially a part of Global Foundries which is in Malta. It's up the road from I-90 (i.e. West) of Albany in basically Utica. This is just more PR bullshit of this administration, he didn't make it happen. There's been effort to secure semiconductor manufacturing in the United States for nearly a decade recognizing the supply chain weakness.

Different variety of dicks:

If I recall correctly, Trump got some Taiwanese semiconductor maker to promise to open a plant in the US.

Not going to catch up with the competition, we are too far behind but we can still build really spiffy Space Ship like buildings in Cupertino and lots and lots of APPs so there is that at least.

I think US will do well. I want to see some crash in dollar to keep manufacturing competitive.

DooDahMan says

We won't do well enough and it should not take a crash in the dollar to do so. This country used to lead - now we follow and may soon be getting out of the way as well.

Other countries are busy producing tangible things - we produce unique shaped buildings and apps. Much like the auto industry in this country, the steel industry and so many others we are a few days late and several dollars short to the party - again.

No - the problem is not them - it is us. We had/have the technology but chose/choose not to invest and upgrade our own facilities but more than happy to sell that technology to someone else and then complain when someone beats us at our game.

If you have not figured this all out - Corporate Greed, lots and lots of greed and bought off elected officials.

You either lead, follow or get out of the way....

This is pessimistic view. Germany is only one which does better but China not.
China is huge waste in terms of tangible things they build. US is better off to build nothing.
They wasted building $1T dollars on fast trains to nowhere. China used more concrete in few years than whole human civilization used in their existence.
The disrepair,pollution and concretes eyesore will destroy them along with huge debts they took to do so.

US is in bad shape , But It can come out quickly if we have weak dollar and right leadership. Talent is already here and well trained.

Sounds pretty shitty.

DooDahMan says

"Tenant screening reports play a real role in tenants' ability to secure stable housing. They can impact consumers in terms of financial costs, fewer rental housing options and time," said Sophie Sahaf of the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. "(The result can be) they're getting substandard housing, they're in a ZIP code they don’t want to be in, even homelessness."

As a former landlord, sad excuse. Most bad tenants don't get an eviction or credit ding. Landlord gets/buys them out. Tenants have no skin in the game. I don't feel bad for tenants. Let me know when a tenant feels bad for me when taxes and insurance are increased. Or I have to drop in a new water heater or furnace. Creature comforts are nice when you don't pay for them. Buy a house if you don't want to be screened. And if you choose to be a renter, fine. Don't bitch about the screening process. You chose that path. And I'm not saying "you" specifically, just tenants in general.

"Should we give it to Biden?"

From the article:

New York officials spent decades trying to attract a semiconductor company to Marcy, where New York state has funded a nanocenter associated with the SUNY Polytechnic Institute. Wolfspeed only agreed to take over the site after another company backed out and New York offered to subsidize the fab with a $500 million grant

• that plant has been bouncing around for decades.
• enormous bribe from New York state
• current fears about Taiwan

I guess you could say the fears about Taiwan were greatly heightened from Biden's weak global leadership, so he can claim some credit. That is not exactly a ringing endorsement of Biden, though. Chalk up another one for: Biden runs out in front of an existing parade and pretend to be leading it.

Since then, new HSR lines in China have witnessed a sharp decline in their “transportation density,” which is measured in passenger-kilometers or number of passengers carried per day. “It is an indicator that projects the line’s operating efficiency in terms of annual average transport volume per kilometer.” For example, China’s overall transportation density of HSR was 17 million passenger-kilometres in 2015, while it was 34 million passenger-kilometres for Japan’s Shinkansen in the same year.

Love that news! I am planning on adding to my rental portfolio and anything that helps to weed out the bad ones is highly welcome.
People think that "we just need a crash to afford a house" are dreaming......the US future is simply: an army of renters and landlords who get richer and richer. I play the game because I am on the right side of the fence.

This is why you value your privacy. These systems wouldn't pull up anything useful on me, but I also wouldn't submit to any ridiculous facial scans. Anyone doing this stuff is a sucker. I rented in Phoenix. Found exactly what I wanted, despite the RE guy paid to show us properties telling me I had to pay more for a pool. Landlord was a sweet old lady who lived down the street. Process was the same as everywhere else I've ever lived.

More fear porn, take from a lifelong renter in SoCal who still pays well under market.

WookieMan says

Tenants have no skin in the game.

Try owning in California, they let us run wild here. You can be a crack addict, still have to hire a lawyer to evict, and can't shut off utilities in the meantime. Having said that, if owners knew how to find and appreciate good tenants, many do, but ran into our share who don't, they'd be much happier, less stressed, and wealthier. Landlords should focus on really digging into job history, and references. Those are way more valuable than credit scores will ever be. And I mean personally visiting these places and people. Yes, it's a time investment, but there's a lot at stake, so definitely worth it if it nets you a reliable long-term tenant.

Logan is so spot on with his stuff

market (mortage rates) got ahead of the ten years. Rates going forward will depend on if the FED keeps raising rates as the market expects (priced in already) and if inflation increases.
