After money returned there won't be a reason to grow since fundamentals are weak and less supply on the market. The drop can be severe I guess.
My two cents on this ... The last drop(2008) was severe and we had been conditioned to buy the dip. I am thinking that we haven't had a prolonged (2-3years) bear market in a while and no one is expecting it. So either that or more likely just a couple of years of going nowhere. Moving from passive back to active investing should be good for Wall Street. Now how do I make money on this? Seriously, how would you restructure your investments for a two year range bound market?It could be very severe

NOT a prediction, not fake news.‘Stocks are risky. Gold is safe’. Check the forexIG data. WADR that is exactly what the dumb money is doing right now.
LQD yielding 3.5. SPY yielding 6. You can borrow 3.5 to buy 6. Only idiots won’t do it.
You tell me when the bids will dry up.
3.5 v. 6, where will they equalize? 4? or maybe it will be 3.5 forever? that's why I said SP should be at 5000 right now.
they are not advertising it... they will tell the public when it's like 3.5 vs. 4 or something when SP P/E reaches 25 forward..
Whatever Goldman says, do the opposite.
Only Idiots will do it. Are you new to this field called finance?
Why it should be equal? It is similar to risk premium. They are different in corporate structure. Bond holders and equity holders are never treated the same way during times of stress. Bond holders will have first claim on the cash flows. If AAA bond is yielding 3.5%, then stock with earnings yield of 6% provides margin of safety which is risk premium. It may move few basis points, but never be equal.
If you read Ben Graham's security analysis, he recommended earnings yield atleast twice the corporate bond yield.

%% Ben Graham; value investor-they hardely ever do as well as groWth stocks , but sometimes do. Just not very oftenbecause if companies need shares for whatever reason e.g. stock options... this is a no brainer to finance the shares with open market debt.
yes stocks have risk, but stocks earnings also grow, so the 2 factors basically cancel each other.
Ben Graham... who is he
doesn't matter, I don't want to know.... just look at the price action in front of you... all the evidence I have posted repeatedly... theoretical talks are empty.
