Stocks in trump era

Post by Tero » Fri Oct 27, 2017 2:11 am

Good investments for stock holders and 401K plans, Jan 2017 to now. Wall street types were waiting for a gift. Tax cuts. Still waiting. Trump has a track record of losing track, losing the ball at the last minute.

Markets stalled:

Up to you folks. Sell stock if you think this is it. End of the fun.

I hear all that spoken in Trump Voice. Time to take a Trump vacation for a day.

Yeah, if you're so obsessed that you find yourself wanting your guy to be the cause of a bull market, and the other guy its correction, then you probably do need a break.

When he starts haunting your dreams Tero, that's when you know you need to step back. ;)

Stocks are a bet on future value. The mistake is to assume that the economy is healthy, balanced, and well regulated because traded assets are high - this couldn't be further from the truth.

Well, that, or a bubble. The Bush to Obama transfer was a housing banking bubble.

It's OK to go with the yo yo up and downs. They are slow, like ice ages almost. You may make more money keeping the money in stocks in the 30-40 years of your life. You can't take the money out till you are 55 anyway. So that is the stock advice to the young. I do not follow any of the instructions past that. Your mutual fund company wants you to keep money in stocks till you are dead. Your heirs can play with it then.

Stocks / economy growth will slow down. By the end of Trump 4 years, maybe back to none.
“Politicians are going to declare a victory on this. That’s fine and that’s what politicians do,” said Credit Suisse’s Jonathan Golub. “But has this changed long-term trajectory for GDP? No. This is a period of nice, healthy-feeling cyclical growth not yet accompanied by inflation. That’s very different than having a structural change in output.”

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the Federal Reserve both project long-term GDP growth of just under 2%.

Deutsche Bank’s Torsten Sløk explained that while a significant tax package out of DC in the coming weeks could move growth to stay close to 3% in 2018, many questions remain about the sustainability of that growth, especially given that we’re in year eight of a recovery.

“Expansions begin to slow down when they get older. And the historical pattern is also that the longer the expansion lasts the higher is the probability that we will soon get a recession,” he explained.

Meanwhile, Sløk explained that the response from the Federal Reserve to moderate growth amid rising inflation could also put a damper on long-term projections.

“Higher growth is always associated with higher inflation, and if inflation moves faster up toward 2%—as we, the Fed, and the consensus expects—then the Fed will have to raise rates faster to cool down the economy,” Sløk said. “The Fed would like to see 3% GDP growth for the next decade but they just don’t believe it would be possible because such a high level would lead to overheating the economy.”

Stocks can be high in a time of economic deprrssion (as indeed they are).
