OT: Stock and Investment Talk

Curious what made CS top of your list for months?

When the Euro started to move lower and it became clear that the Fed was committed to continue to raise rates I knew this was going to cause a big problem for European banks.

CS never recovered from 2008, the stock has basically gone straight down since then. They have been losing people for years and involved in a bunch of high profile scandals like Archegos, Grenshill, etc. Nobody works with Archegos unless they are desperate. They also got caught in a bunch of criminal money laundering scandals, a swiss banking specialty.

They have been the most public problem bank (along with DB) so they are getting all the attention which makes it really tough to get out of the issue. I"m sure they are many others we haven't heard about yet. European media and institutional investors don't do a good job of investing these things. It's go along to get along over there.

COVID did not go away with the warm weather like he said. No infrastructure was completed other than the partial wall. Yes, healthcare is difficult but HE said he was gonna fix it so those are just 3 falsehoods off the top of my head. I’m not gonna get into Dem/Rep issues, just knocking down your statement that almost everything he said came true because that statement by you is blatantly false.
I'm sorry but you're a fking idiot. you should really be ashamed for this reply. Don't post in this thread and leave the adults to talk

Anyone actually believe this rally? I’m going with head-fake.
I called it above but if the mkts believe the central banks will pause on rates, the rally has room to room and rates on the shorte end will drop 100bps. let it run for a few weeks and take advantage of it

Here is a small list of things Trump was right about.....
  • Hydroxychloroquine works
  • The Virus came from a Chinese lab
  • Hunter Biden’s laptop was real
  • Lafayette Square was not cleared for a photo op
  • The “Russian Bounties” story was fake
  • We did produce vaccines before the end of 2020, in record time
  • Blue state lockdowns didn’t work
  • Schools should be opened
  • Critical Race Theory is a disaster for our schools and our Country
  • Our Southern Border security program was unprecedentedly successful
That Lafayette Square thing was the most blatant abuse of “fact-checking” I’ve ever seen. China virus lab theory a close second.
A free press is not the enemy of the people. The mainstream media are not press. They are propaganda, and ARE the enemy of the people. Maybe the biggest and most evil any free people have ever faced.

Sorry. I wanted him to be right but where was the great healthcare plan HE talked about, not even any details? What about the infrastructure plan HE promised? What about COVID that HE said would magically go away like the flu? I could go on but you get the picture.
Yep… infrastructure WAS nonexistent under ‘45’ and considering that’s what he ran on in ‘16 that’s all that needs to be said. In fact Congress overruled the likely soon to be felon and allocated more funds to infrastructure than ‘45’ even asked for. And this was prior to the blue wave 2018 midterms.

Get ready for the Red Wave midterms and Trumps return in 2024!
 
To go along with the Russian hoax frame up? The two Shampeachments? and all the other bullshit the democrats threw at Trump? We are looking forwards to it.
Just ask former GOP member and still practicing lawyer George Conway (yes Kellyanne’s husband)…not me.

You have to remember that he was kneecapped by the opposition/press from Day 1. Russian spy and all that remember? Biggest political dirty trick in history courtesy of Miss Clinton and Co. As far as Covid, his policies greatly assisted the rapid development of the vaccine by calling off the regulatory dogs. Seems like some people wanted him to sit there and scream that the world is coming to an end when Covid arrived. They did scream when he initially blocked flights from Wuhan/China. Having been handed the vaccine, JB had more citizens die in his 1st year than DT in his last. I do hate some of the things DT did. Especially in regards to trade. He talks for hours on end unscripted and his ego is mammoth. The Ugly American that European elites despise. We deserve better from both parties but I'm not hopeful.

just ignore him, his last response would embarrass a HS debate team freshman lol

back to the mkts, let's watch the global economies slowdown and mkts price in less aggressive central bank policies. now is the dangerous time
 
right, can't have politics leading to mkt meltdowns and blame progressive liberal idiots now can we? lol

mkts are a function of geopolitical enterprise and allocation of resources and nothing more.
I love blaming libs for most things, but board rules are what they are. Not my decision!

simply put, you cannot talk about the mkts without talking about the policies, both past and CURRENT, that has led to this much disruption. If people voted with their wallets or familie's best interests, they'd understand why you can't continue down this path

I’ve mentioned awhile back this should be a strategy for the smaller streaming services that don’t have enough content. Looks like some are trying but don’t know if they can make it come to fruition.

It’s a no-brainer. The future is selecting streaming services from a menu in order to achieve cost savings. Problem with the cable bundle has always been all the crap channels you are stuck paying for.
 
I wonder what the historical record is of stocks under policies of democratic and republican administrations

I mean I am sure there is an analysis of that available

firesticks and the like are really biting into streaming services. On top fo that, the cost to these services is ridiculous (much like cable). For example, netflix charges $10/month which is not a lot but add other individual items and it adds up and for what, firestick you can get all the content at no charge for one time price of $49. Cost structures need to change to intice people imho

well considering JFK and maybe even Bill Clinton would be considerate rep and moderate respectively by today's democrat standards. Also, era to era is hard given the geoplitical nature of things. Don't forget, at one time we held 49 global gnp, until 1969 were global oil exporters, until the explosive growth of the 80s no real deficit, acctg changes to global budgets accounting process I mean I could go on and on. Russia was great for technological development until she fell and let's hope people wake up to China and we get another societal boon from that mil spending on r&d

Yes. W was terrible for stocks. Was it all his fault? Absolutely not.
Was two wars in the Middle East costing trillions (Clinton left office with a budget surplus) W’s doing? Absolfreakinlutely.

In fairness, Coolidge had a great stock market leading of course directly into a little “correction” called the Great Depression…🤣

Agree. I don’t think the market will really get going again until inflation breaks and the economy gets growing.

Until then it’s trading the dips and rallies.

Whats the 200 dma currently?

I have about 35 months more of buying and then about 10 more years before I need to start using the money.
