This Signal Flashed "Recession" For 22 Months Straight

@@csakzozo But then consider that we've been at all-time low consumer personal savings rates, all-time high consumer high-interest debt, skyrocketing housing inventory above 2019 levels in dozens of states, highest amount of homes with multiple price reductions since 2009, lowest demand for a mortgage since the early 1990s, and hundreds of corporations laying of thousands of salaried workers a month. Most importantly, median home price at over 6.5x the median income for over a year. That's almost 50% worse than peak 2007 bubble. Most unsustainable economy in all of world history and a MUCH larger bubble than 2007. There's not a single piece of math that isn't a lot worse than 2007. Housing and stock values will be 50-60% lower in about a year to 2 years.

There's been no bear market/credit unwind in 15 years now...and counting. I think we're at the point now where we really need to wonder if Janet, Jerome and Joe have mastered the "art" of "stimulative" monetary debasement to the point of fully negating the business cycle that we once knew. I think we will know within the next 12 months if they cracked this code or not. However, Trump will probably pass another tax cut which could extend the game once again, so who the heck knows.

[@DorathyJoy]

I foresee a recession lasting 2-3 years, and if inflation continues to surge, the Federal Reserve will likely raise interest rates soon. Inflation is causing various issues worldwide, such as food shortages, scarcities of diesel and heating fuel, and significant spikes in housing prices, leading to a potential financial market crash. This global downturn could have long-lasting repercussions. Given the current inflation rate of approximately 9%, my main worry is how to optimize my savings and retirement fund, which has remained stagnant at around $300,000, yielding almost no gains for quite some time.

[@Hectorkante]

Numerous opportunities exist to achieve substantial profits at present, but executing high-volume and nearly flawless trades requires the expertise of real-time professionals with an ISDA Agreement.

It surprises me why everybody gets really worked up about recession and inflation data. Inflation has always existed, and people have been using investments to beat the inflation. The stock market return, for example, always beats inflation. I heard of someone who invested $121k last October, and has grown the portfolio by more than $400k. I need recommendations that can give me similar return.

[@DorathyJoy]

True. I first came across investing in the market in 2019. Already stashed about $480k in savings then, and the free money from the Government was pouring in, increasing inflation rate. I just got an advisor and kept the money there, just because I didn't want to keep the value of the money depreciating in the bank. Tbh, it's the best investment decision I've made since then.

[@chensien75]

Population is collapsing not growing

[@CaptainCaveman1170]

A world that becomes more unaffordable (presumably you mean via inflation), is BEARISH for both stocks and real estate in the short/medium term because incomes don't keep pace and that historically anyway, forms a multi-year air pocket (one which we are currently experiencing... hence the skyrocketing but unsustainable credit usage). It's also bearish for "nice" vehicles (but not "all" vehicles, because people will still need to move around). So if they plan on printing to get out of this mess, that's great but it won't save assets in the short/medium term. Eventually, yes, inflation makes all prices line up with reality. 1995 and 2010 are two good examples of everything getting caught up.

[@SocialismForAll]

The "rhythm" of capitalism is that capitalists must destroy capital periodically (create artificial scarcity) to protect profits. This is not necessary in socialism.

[@AndrewOng]

If stock market timers are not your audience, who is? Business owners? Employees looking to protect their incomes? Timing the market was the only reason I was watching this. Otherwise what am I supposed to do, save up money for the unemployment in the coming recession?

[@Gary65437]

Everyone poo poos market timing saying it's impossible. Yet Buffett thrives on market timing and most of the time does the right thing. He did not do very well during the 2020 COVID meltdown. He had a bunch of airlines and sold them at the bottom to stop the pain and could not focus on using his cash hoard to buy the dip like he usually does, so he missed out of the fast moving recovery.

[@bobmanlarrydude]

Hey @EPBResearch, perhaps you can help me get a good understanding of a goal the fed reserve has- the 2% inflationary goal. I've been wondering how they got to that number as a goal, as well as what that 2% is in reference towards. If there's going to he inflation, it's measured to a previous reference year- so is the 2% in reference to the previous year? If so, wouldn't yearly reference changes make the 2% goal compounded? The actions of the fed reserve suggest they're not wanting to really quash inflation but then again, fed reserve tools only work on the demand side of the supply/demand equation. To increase supply would require spending- and congress has the power of the purse. The US economy seems to be slipping into stagflation, so another question I'd ask is this- what policies can both the Fed reserve AND executive branch do to navigate thru stagflation with little blowback?

[@thecwwshow8036]

I watched somebody back in the day. The literally said the feds just like that number because one guy liked it. No supporting information defending it. A lot of people like 1-2%

[@demidvfedorov]

Listen to Gary’s Economics. Everything will make sense. The goal is wealth extraction from the middle class through sharp asset price inflation coupled with (much) slower wage inflation.

[@te2839]

they probably don’t want to stop inflation. I think they are trying to set a new normal of high interest rates and get people to start saving. We’ve had cheap money (low interest rates) for so long people don’t know how to act (save money) including people in the government. How the fed offsets downturns in the market is by lowering interest rates but if they are too low they can’t do much of anything. Higher interest rates allow banks to offer higher savings rates pre2020 you would be lucky to find a CD offering 3% while the rate of inflation was hovering around 2% now CDs are being offered at 5% not bad even if inflation is at 3.5%

I hate how coy Buffet is about not using business cycles to drive investment decisions. I think that really its just how valuations get most overdone near the end of business cycles as much of the growth of the previous cycle is priced into the stock near the end. But at a crash coinciding with an ending business cycle the stocks are pricing in terrible future earnings which makes them quite cheap and high yielding. Be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy is just a way of saying this in a coy fashion.
