Powell does not see signs of bubbles brewing..WELL OF COURSE HE WOULD SAY THIS

[S2007S]

Maybe that one is all that's needed. Wouldn't make any bets against the bull as long as this remains on the table.

By the time you realize the bull market is OFF the table it will be way, way wayyy to late.

This is probably the most accurate measure.

I can't make any sense of the measure they are using in a global economy.

this is why at this point it's all about independent thinking... I mean reading zero hedge is good, but only for the purpose of gauging the dumb money sentiment.

also the market has already spoken so many times - the big shake of oct '18, the consolidation of '19, the break out..

price action plus fundamentals....

people lip service 'trend is friend'... the friend is here. now.

what do people do? they run away.

 

[ElCubano]

people... relax.

in the history of the markets, which 'bubble' ever burst when the public is pessimistic? you can use all the measurable stats, or use anecdotal evidence like ET posts... no matter how you cut it, the public participation is still very low.

instead of worrying about a bubble that doesn't exist, go out there make some dough already.

euphoria!!!!! Then BOOOOOOOM!!!!!! That’s how bubbles burst.

No mention of the trillions in debt the US is in though...hmmmm

We are the strongest country, we have the best institutions, we have the best labor force,” he said. “We have such strengths, and I think possibly the day of reckoning could be quite far off.”

There are 2 sides to the balance sheet. What are our assets? No one ever talks about that.

Regardless, yes the markets are overcooked for sure. Apple has a 1.2 TRILLION market cap. No way it's going to sustain that.

you say like stock market gonna explode like bitcoin

Ok it may double in the next 5 years.


it's better than checking account, of course but still not a game changer for anyone unless you leverage 5x and have significant capital

small caps can give you that in 10 days

Many of us have far, far better instincts then you have and can in fact get out of any market with better timing then you can. We cannot help it if you are lost in fantasies that prevent you from doing well in ALL kinds of markets.

Is the world currently levered with hundreds of trillions of dollars worth of toxic OTC derivatives and the underlying is about to fall off a cliff ?

I do not know and neither do you. Crisis always comes out of nowhere. There is so much debt created all over the world, who knows what is out there and its quality.

There's no euphoria yet. Most people who _can_ invest were burned by 2008/2009 and the subsequent bull run. When the next gen starts investing that's when euphoria will hit. Still a few years away.

There is a lot of monies on the sidelines. With negative interest rates, where will people put it? Under the mattress? With all the talk of recession by the talking heads, they are frightening the retail traders. At some point, human nature will push those people back into the stockmarket.

Sometimes I think a good number of the traders here weren't active in the 1990s to understand what true euphoria and a bubble really feels like.
