I post this because it is the epitome of terrible taste for any news source. Extremes all over, but this is financial reporting, reporting on US economy |

While you see some connection between a huge corporation and one pro athlete, I don't, but that's how it goes. I truely back off in even mentioning FOX, no matter how grevious the lies, but this was so terrible and insensitive and insulting. I applaud the apology.....I totally refute your comparison. |

A major economist today sited the SP 500 is 30 x earnings similar to the tech bubble we lived through. Predicts SP 500 not only back to low but will touch 1600. Rationale was every major recession / depression had the same dead cat bounce we just experienced before the long painful recovery.

There is an old thread deep in the archives of the investment forum here. I started it in the last part of 2018. The topic was Stock Buybacks and I asked for opinions.
At the time, I said that I thought the running bull market was an artificial high because corporations were buying back their own stock with money from their corporate tax breaks. Corporate spending on buybacks had exceeded a trillion dollars. That old bull kept on running through 2019. But, to me, it just did not feel right. Just think — if corporations would have put more of those tax break dollars to better use — building, employing, improving the business models, there now would be something solid to show for it. Money on paper can be fleeting. All that money spent on stock buybacks? — much of it gone now. The 2019 market, and most of the 2018 market, were built like a house of cards, propped up by buybacks. Unrestrained greed is bad economics. I do not feel like we will see the market collapse. What I do see the market doing illustrates that old saying, “Paybacks are hell.” Cassandra Boomer Last edited by Boomer; 06-11-2020 at 06:50 PM. Reason: Typo |

That's great news for people who have stocks. For the majority of the country, it is just one of those "oh, isn't that nice" pieces of information. Pass the salt.

Actually a majority (about 55%) own stocks either directly, or via mutual funds, or via ETFs, mostly in retirement accounts.
