I'm on a totally different page. 1) Every institution is and will always be dependent from politicians and also from power groups 2) The problems we have are intrinsic, not caused by politicians What do you mean with "nationalized"?

I see a lot of attacks to Bernanke and his QE, a lot of talk about bubbles he creates. While I don't like QE at all and see it as a way of worsening the situation,I must admit that it "buys time". I believe that the economic situation is falling down by itself, I don't see someone in...

Agreed. Not only people are available to work for nothing/little, but they also want to spend nothing/little and care about their time rather than material things.They also don't want risks and hassles. Neither the FED,nor the ECB,nor any institution can do anything to stop the deflationary...

I'm well convinced that they build these movements to extract as much money as they can from the market,knowing in advance crisis and opportunities. But I also think that they can't do much to help bad situations,so profiting from them is what they can do.Some say they worsen the situations,but...

Of course I understand, as it is exactly what I think.I was just laughing at the theatre they put up. I put news in quotes as manipulators know these data well before they are published.For them, they're "olds". I write these things for fun. And just for fun, me too I make my own "top...

Thank you for this graph, very interesting

Up to now, it seems you got it right. Nice to see how Bernanke speaks: first he says he's ready to increase or decrease QE,then he says that reducing monetary easing could hurt economy recovery. do you think reducing QE is an option? He said nothing and market flew up. the only "news" was...

Agree again. I'd never trade basing on information provided by media and institutions. I have a view but try to not let it influence my trading.

Maybe a bit off-topic, but... look at the chart: it shows unemployment from may 2011 to now. As you can see, it's decreasing at a 0.75%/year pace even now that FED has started QE3, and after 5 years of massive liquidity injection. This means that: 1) at this pace, QE3 will go on at least 2...

Agree. These are the right explanations (in my opinion) to this kind of bull market. It's rigged and that's it, maneuvers have always been there (maybe now they are somewhat different as they're guided by central banks). It's funny to see how people try and justify this movement with "rational"...

This is very close to what I think,even though I agree with Maverick74 that when there is no reason to change,trend changes.

Low volume never was good sign neither for bull nor for bear market. Here we are not talking about retailers: we are talking about hedge funds and institutional investors.

To me this clearly shows that they are forcing the market to go up despite investors will. Many hedge funds don't want to buy stocks, many big investors don't want to buy them either. That's why a lot of liquidity is still out of the market, though they sent bond yields near 0 and dragged equity...

Can you please give us the source of this information? I found nowhere that someone said FED will hold to maturity and stop buying. They spoke about REDUCING purchases,but didn't say WHEN: http://www.thestockmarketwatch.co/biography-fed-qe3-exit-strategy-has-been-set.html At the pace...

I remember that in 2007 the Dow broke its previous high at 12000 and proceeded steadily and slowly (as is doing now). That fact was widely advertised. It went on 2000 points more,then we know what happened.

I mean exactly the opposite. 1) if the reason why managers buy stocks is because "there is no alternative", then it seems they don't see any good reason to do that, and they'd avoid it if they could 2) so stocks are really UNSURE and sooner or later they'll fall (problem is:when?) 3) the two...

Anyway, I don't understand why you and many others keep on questioning about stock market prices "correctness": most of the financial world agrees that it doesn't like stocks. Apart from Buffet (who gave motivations I didn't understand), the ONE AND ONLY reason why many big investors are...

Sure if you want to do decent fundamental analysis, or search for a market top, you look at this data. But I just wanted to show that this can't be defined a "bubble", as long as P/E stands where it is. Anyway,let's not forget that market is not controlled just by the FED; there are also the...

To reply to the thread title: 1) 25% of central banks in the world, because they can't afford letting their reserves be eaten up by inflation, given that bonds yields are way less than inflation 2) Fund managers who want to keep their job and have to produce gains 3) Shorters covering their...

The standard definition of "high stock prices" is based on P/E, doesn't matter if it comes from cost cutting or QE or whatever. Also, we are just a bit higher than 6 years ago with "old economy", and "new economy" (nasdaq) is quite far from reaching 13 years ago prices (when there actually was...
