I and most other truly wealthy people that I know call the stock market for what it is; a pure, legal scam, where 90% of participants lose money over the short, medium and long-term duration.
Not if you invest every month, :-)
Small steps... lead to big thing over time, recession are a gift from the gods, the trick is to create a financial back drop that allows you to invest every month
10% bonds

God are you stupid. Stupid is so inadequate a word for stock broker chimps (you're more likely a commission-based stock limp).
Congratulations on seeing your $1 rise to approx $10 in purchasing power by "investing" in the equity "markets" over the last 100 years.

I earn that kind of wealth investing directly in property and businesses in a period of months to several years when the economy is truly rocking and rolling.
the economy is truly rocking and rolling.
Ahh so you're a cycle timer and dis credit the Anti American bears
I made 8 figures from just 2002 to 2006 ALONE, buying and reselling acreage to Big Box retailers.
I also kept many of the outlots/pad sites in front of those parcels I sold off to this day.
I have clients who have closely held businesses that manufacturer parts for the auto, aviation, energy, etc. industries, with one such example being a recently deceased founder whose plastic injection molding business was purchased after his death (4 months ago) for 118 million USD, and he founded the biz in 1978 with a total investment of $18,000.
I have a client who bought industrial warehouses in bulk from banks in the 2009 to 2013 period, and those assets are worth 5x to 15x what he purchased them for.
Move to the genuine, real money, Logan.
And no, the economy sucks in real terms right now, with some narrow exceptions.
This is definitely the time to be a net seller, not a buyer.
Sell while the central banks allow the connected (and systemically "important" but insolvent banks) to re-capitalize themselves off of taxpayers' and consumers' backs as they flood the zone with trillions in new toilet paper confetti dollars, yen, yuan, euros, pesos, etc.
Logan, you're a different kind of stupid altogether.
Logan, you're a different kind of stupid altogether.
So, their is a point in the economic cycle when the economy works
Yeah, and if you're still pimpin' the long side, you're way behind the curve.
The time to buy anything was 2009 to 2012.
The truly smart money is dumping right now, and the central banks with their galactically stupid monetary policy (now coordinated globally, for 10x the idiotic, devasting affect on the real, structural economy!) are providing the electronic printing press (turning keystrokes into currency with which to buy up all the milkshakes) cover to escape while the getting is good.
IOW - we never had a real recovery; we had a financial (FIRE) reflation of asset values which truly did benefit the top 0.1% (those who claim the 1% benefited are mistaken; the 1% mainly held still, with few exceptions; the 0.1% are those who received the central bank gifting).
Now, the the reflated (by central bank keystroke magic) financial assets can't begin to paper over the ever-increasing & obvious structural economic degradation (hence the rise of Trump, Marie Le Pen, Brexit, etc.).
Ciao!
No...
It wasn't about the pull back... no no no
It was the worthless Anti Fed Crowd that said
The entire U.S. economy is based on #QE and once #QE ended everything would stop and crash
Well I remember watching CNBC during 2012-2015 and hearing a wide range of pundits saying that 1/2 of the growth in the S&P 500 was due to QE.
Logan, I say this was due respect:
Only a truly dumb, head-up-their-ass fuckwad would not concede the glaringly obvious FACT that equities have risen to the point that they have b/c of global, coordinated, super-aggressive monetary policy (QE1, QE2, QE3, QE4, etc.; ZIRP, now NIRP in Japan & parts of Europe) by fucking retarded central banks (the academics who never held real jobs in the real economy).
In fact, think about this:
Historically, equities move in the opposite direction of bonds and credit instruments.
The fuckwad central banks have the so structurally damaged the global economy that asset classes that throughout all of economic history have moved in an inverse relationship are now perversely moving in the same direction (e.g. Bonds, even junk bonds, are now moving higher in correlated fashion as equities).
It's going to all end in a spectacular bust sooner rather than later, and only the most obtuse can't see and won't concede this inevitability.
2008 was the forest fire that they should've let burn through the underbrush.
Now, there's 10x the amount of scrub, kindling and flammable detritus to create an enormous economic wildfire because central banks never let things rebalance.
Only a truly dumb, head-up-their-ass fuckwad would not concede the glaringly obvious FACT that equities have risen to the point that they have b/c of global, coordinated, super-aggressive monetary policy (QE1, QE2, QE3, QE4, etc.; ZIRP, now NIRP in Japan & parts of Europe) by fucking retarded central banks (the academics who never held real jobs in the real economy).
Yes because excess reserves is the mother milk for consumption profits
Historically, equities move in the opposite direction of bonds and credit instruments
Their is some validity to this thesis .... rising inflation and Fed rate hikes due come at the end of the cycle
Well I remember watching CNBC during 2012-2015 and hearing a wide range of pundits saying that 1/2 of the growth in the S&P 500 was due to QE.
Nah.... massive excessive reserves yes.. velocity no...
Then again you can read the Fed's recent White Paper agreeing that #QE didn't do much for the economy
I wish you'd acknowledge that it's impossible to stoke aggregate demand in any meaningful way on any sustainable basis by having central banks deposit additional electronic fiat credits in the form of excess reserves into (a hugely disproportionate number of genuinely insolvent) banks.
Without additional net-positive productivity, nurtured by intelligent capex on the part of business, versus share buybacks and dividend increases, the only end result will be greater inefficiencies and malinvestment, continually reduced aggregate demand, worsening lending standards (especially with taxpayer backstop of loans such as FHA loans in the U.S.), greater economic structural rot, and a larger bubble (created by monetary blowing of bubbles in reflating purely financial assets).
These are the times whereby Keynesians administer heroin to treat pneumonia, get the economy hooked on highly inefficient allocations of excess reserve led reflationary faux growth, and the Austrians had it correct all along inasmuch as they endorse allowing true price discovery to return, which is the only way to truly clear the deck of bad assets and investment, and allow for a be phase of truly organic economic growth based on naturally occurring aggregate demand by consumers, and fulfilled by intelligent capex decisions by producers.
Austrians had it correct all along
You mean Gold went from 1900 to 1040... that decline in prices...freespeechforever says
naturally occurring aggregate demand by consumers,
Consumption as a % of GDP has been positive each quarter since the recession
Hence why retail sales are at cycle highs and home sales are at cycle highs.... all with out #QE.....
My oppinion is that the state of the health of the economy and people in it are like drug junkies, who just depends on dose of debt.
Businesses borrows to produce stuff that should not have been produced and people borrow to consume on items they will not be able to honestly pay for.
You show your face and debating this junky is not in a state to collapse. There are a school of people like you who helps the people in power to talk sheeple into debt slavory like mafias give doses to prostitures.
Yes, you are right. The junky still breathes, but it is a junky any way, and observers know where the junkies are going.
Depression or hyperfinflatuon happens at every debt cycle that can last 75 years. So you will be correct for as long as 75 years.
The junky is walking and breathing, and you try to convince everybody it is fine.
Auto loan debt = all time record (in nominal and REAL terms) at 2.85 trillion USD
Credit Card debt = near all time record (in nominal and REAL terms) at over 1 trillion
Student Loans = all time record (in nominal and real terms) at over 3.8 trillion USD
Home Mortgage Debt =`on the rapid rise and now at 8.5 trillion USD
Overall, American’s total debt, which includes mortgage debt, HELOCs, student loans, auto loans, and credit cards, increased by $136 billion in the first quarter, to $12.25 trillion.
Note that these figures don't include corporate debt (now at an absolute all-time high in history; those stock buybacks and debt issuances/bond sales don't come cheap even if the Fed has suppressed interest rates artificially), nor government debt, now poised to cross 20 trillion USD officially (over 10x that if one included unfunded future entitlements) by December 31, 2016.
WE'RE GOING TO NEED A BIGGER DEBT BOAT!

If you're such a hard charging stock guy. How come you live in a condo in Irvine?
How come your condo you bought for $452,500 in 2004 is now only worth $568,603?
How come your condo is decreasing in price in recent months? Thought you were in the housing business??
Let's check your experience...
Wow that's pathetic. You need to get out more, rather than try convince us how smart/wealthy you are.
Logan DREAMS of becoming a Big Swinging Dick, one day, while he now is a mere debt-slave poker.
Honestly, he'd be better off getting his Series 6 and 7, and becoming a middling Charles Schwab *Financial Consultant* contract worker.
Wait, Logan, you only went to Cal State Fullerton for 1 year?
Tell me you at least earned an associates degree.
How many employees are there at AMC Lending Group, where you are "Senior Loan Manager?"
If Logan lives in small apartment, than he saves shitload of money. And if he invests it the way he does, he'll be very very very rich in few decades.
If I made 10 times more money than making now, I'll quitelle living in the same place where I'm living now and putting the extra to work hard for me.
That's what he's doing. Smart!
:-)
Awesome... it's about time you guys start doing this... so.. watch and learn how easy it was to bait and click you guys ....
Tsk Tsk..
If you're such a hard charging stock guy. How come you live in a condo in Irvine?
Number.. I noticed an explosion on people looking up my name yesterday, I fiquered it has to be junkmail..
So, I went on Zillow and took over my home and fixed up the data.. They had it at 578,000 1,400 square foot, that is my new next door neighboor, which bought that home
Thank you junkmail...this is all part of the plan. Keep it up
By the way
Irvine, 7th highest median income city in America, #1 educated city in America

Though the cursing hides the sentence structure, sentence structure is more impressive than others... Please keep on doing.. pieces of puzzles that's all
By the way if you really want to know the truth ... I would suggest looking up on Linkedin

Irvine, 7th highest median income city in America
huh? Is that for cities larger than some population cutoff? Because $87K is not that impressive.
I can find 50 cities with higher median incomes than that in the Chicago area alone.

You're 23K behind old data
Logan's a f'ing mortgage broker for fuck's sake!
Now it all makes sense.
The job of high school grads/GEDs everywhere.

A pig has to eat.
A hooker has to blow.
A slimy mortgage broker (dime a dozen) has to SELL.
Commission-based scion ic narratives for the win! LMAO!!!
I let a mortgage broker put her cards in one my sales offices (my brother and I have a land development and custom home building company - this in addition to my
- this in addition to my law practice -
- but she has to give me one hummer a week!
The only thing I am disappointed is that you didn't find my 1 bedroom condo rental in Orange County on zillow as well
Irvine, 7th highest median income city in America
huh? Is that for cities larger than some population cutoff? Because $87K is not that impressive.
Household income is 110K obviously that is different than median income
A lot Asians and a lot Chinese home buyers, median price of a single family is over, 1,000,000
According to 2007 Census Bureau estimates, the median income for a household in the city is $98,923, and the median income for a family is $111,455; these numbers make Irvine the seventh richest city in the USA, among cities with population 65,000 or higher.
Come on guys and gals... don't be shy now
Look at the Linkedin Profile....

One the biggest mistakes the Anti American bears made...
I mean what a bunch of cry babies... seriously
14.5 Trillion of debt and over 102 Trillion dollars of assets
Debt service ratio cost are at decade lows
No wonder you guys and gals are paranoid of the American collapse...
Take one variable side of the equation and make it out to be a
ZERO HEDGE end of the world model
Come on, you got to do better than that
I can find 50 cities with higher median incomes than that in the Chicago area alone
You're 23K behind old data
Yes, but I can compare apples to apples. Other cities income has also gone up.
According to 2007 Census Bureau estimates, the median income for a household in the city is $98,923, and the median income for a family is $111,455; these numbers make Irvine the seventh richest city in the USA, among cities with population 65,000 or higher.
lol-you don't like my 2013 data, but you use 2007 data??
25456 Nellie Gail Rd
Laguna Hills, CA 92653
You work put of your home?
Does each AMC Lending Group mortgage broker get their own bedroom to work out of?
Household income is 110K obviously that is different than median income
That's why I quoted MEDIAN household income. Try to keep up Logan.
Keep it coming!!
