Some fundamental reasons why the top is in

Quote from Ash1972:

Does anyone realise <b>how much</b> the economy needs to grow in order merely to catch up with where the stock market is right now?

We would need pre 2007 Chinese growth figures.

Why do you say that?

A PE of 16 isn't reasonable for the SPX?

When we were at 1500ish in 2007, the nominal earnings in the SPX were 75. Today it's closer to 100.

A P/E of 21 is not unusual either. There was still a crash.
 
I looked up the revenues. They are higher today than 2007 albeit modestly.

I'm saying that things aren't as frothy now as they were then at least from a quantitative metric.
 
Quote from Lucrum:

You remember all those threads we've seen over the years where someone gets into a position that moves way against them? Then they start posting every "reason"/rationalization they can find that "proves" they'll be right ultimately?

That's what this thread is all about.

Likely as not price is going up for a retest

We shall see if it holds or not

This pathetic attempt at self-promotion can now be laid to rest along with the journal.
