Stock Market Predictions

[ArizonaXUGrad]

I'm sure some companies are doing this based off of irrational fears and uncertainty. Although I work with a very small amount of companies and their budgets...the ones I do work with are flat for 2019 or larger than the year before. Not saying that's indicative of companies as a whole, just what I have seen. The economic indicators are more of what I base the positivity of the economy on though

Every earnings call I listened to for Q3 said otherwise.

Stock market is a joke......almost all indicators point to good earnings, solid economic growth, low unemployment etc.

Or quite possibly, investors think what I do which is the tax break isn’t propping up the economy the middle class and poor are and when they stop taking out consumer debt it will shrink.

The Fed is the problem currently. Oh, only if we had 4-6 years of 0% FFR like under the previous administration...

Tank the economy again like the last guy, and you might get those rates back.

Bingo, annoys me when people forget that state of our country when Obama took over.

And of course Trump bitched at the low interest rates under Obama, when the economy desperately needed monetary accommodation because of the recession, financial markets crisis, and the fact that Republicans were hamstringing fiscal stimulus because (back then) they claimed to be worried about deficits. Now Trump wants low interest rates even though the economy and financial markets have recovered, and Republicans have now embraced deficits created by a (no longer needed) fiscal stimulus.

I'm not sure I would call the Fed a problem. Sure, they're a big part of why the market is down. However tightening monetary policy is long overdue. I give Powell credit for doing what his predecessors were too scared to do - ignore the stock market.

Except the tax breaks are. What was the last unemployment rate, and wage growth statistics?...something that was never approached under Barry.
Oh, and the market is back up 505 today so far. Watch your Tweets. They don't age well.
