View Quote If you remember, there were big demonstrations in China, they were waving the US flag and praising Trump. Then covid happened. Everything was locked down and the demonstrations and reasons for them all but forgotten. |

For someone to be authentic and reputable, they have to be somewhat consistent. Otherwise, it just looks like an act. Sure, we all have our contradictions, but it’s a bit much, all I’m saying.. Also, you keep saying “Long Term” but then you say “Retiring in 3 years”. It seems as if the years have crept on by you and you steadfastly refuse to acknowledge that “long term” doesn’t apply anymore. . Maybe you’re already in the 4th quarter. |

Spidey is the totally right. Macro bear/bull markets and time-to-return isn't as much as you would think.
That said, I don't share his bounce optimism within 3 years with QT, real estate, international issues, fed rates, and our current government. Edit: changed right to wrong for some reason. |

Long term spidey is right. I’m doing both…making money shorting as we go down and holding cash to buy in big once it hits bottom. Problem is we have a long way to go down and the pain will get worse. I heard an analyst describe the bottom of the bear market, “it’s when nobody wants to own stocks…that’s the bottom.” So we’re a long way from that capitulation.

The context you used ie. “buying today, because S&P 500 will be 10,000 in the long term” That context is only forward looking. You said your Threads are to help Future investors. By definition, that is Forward looking. Forward is all that matters. So, my question is When: When do you think it will be 10,000 ? When does your “Long term” horizon start to tighten up?

That and we have finally arrived at the boomers all retiring and taking money out of the markets to live on. The last boomer is 60 right now. The volume of 401k money every month no matter what has most likely declined a lot as many boomers retired early due to Covid in the last few years. This is evidenced by the lowest labor participation rate in a very long time. We are finally at the point where the volume of money from people working and putting money into the markets has declined and will stay declined. The boomer 401k bear market is over. It isn’t coming back. The replacement people are mostly illegal immigrants on welfare or working low wage jobs with no benefits off the books. It is a double whammy. We have that happening and people getting squeezed due to inflation and many are probably taking money out of 401ks and have stopped their contributions in order to pay their credit card bills. The paradigm has changed. I expect a long but steady decline in market values for the above reasons. The up side is that as boomers die, those accounts will be left to younger people who will take the money and spend it which I think we are already seeing. We are in never seen before territory boomer and market wise and nobody is talking about it, which gives credence to it is actually happening. It has been talked about for a long time that it was coming, and now nobody is talking about it, because I think it is already here. |

Quoted: Well, it Might. In fact, the whole world is counting on the fact that it Will; Eventually. But the big question, is When. Do they have to see 3000 before they reverse course? 2800? 2200? View Quote Fed doesn't give a shit about equities. When things break it will be on the debt/liquidity side. When it does break, money printer will go brrrrr. Case in point, who is going to buy all the feds balance sheet on top of all the other fiscal paper? While the dollar is mushroom stamping every currency out there. |

Quoted: Higher interest rates means higher returns on stock markets View Quote Not when a good chunk of the market is leveraged and and the general economy is 70% consumer spending. Higher rates means higher CC bills on current balances, higher car payments higher housing payments, less disposable income. All that equates to less money in the markets from average people. How much remains to be seen. The big 40 year bump of constant 401k money being dumped into markets every month is probably over as boomers retired and take that money out of the markets. We are in uncharted waters. Just because borrowing money will cost more, does not automatically mean more return on investments. |

Boomers have nothing to pass on. I just read an article that half of boomers aged 56-61 (in 2020) had less than 21k saved for retirement. The median figure for the generation is estimated 202k. The generation will be living almost exclusively on social security or they'll work until they die. A lucky few have pensions which will likely be insolvent by the end of this crisis. How's the cost of healthcare looking these days? Hospice/end of life care? Think 202k is a reasonable amount for boomers to live on for a decade or two? Half of them have even less than 202k. They'll be cashed out in no time. If anything is passed on, it'll be taxed to oblivion to support social welfare programs or used by millennials to repay their massive debts. There will be no wealth transfer. Boomers don't have any money. And they've already raided the treasury. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/05/04/baby-boomers-retirement/ https://www.yahoo.com/now/average-retirement-savings-baby-boomers-125500443.html |

I pay no mind to averages nor yahoo. I’m talking about people above average. Stop looking at wealth as an average. Because 70% of the population don’t have a pot to piss in. Don’t be average. And that article is fucking shit. It’s only counting tax deferred accounts. Not “how much money do I have to retire on” |

That said, I don't share his bounce optimism within 3 years with QT, real estate, international issues, fed rates, and our current government. Edit: changed right to wrong for some reason. The last bounces (post 2000 and post 2008) were driven by Fed stimulus. That isn't coming this time around. That is the headwind on the macro picture at the moment.

Interesting if it’s finally happening. You guys are great at finding Stats and graphs: Can anyone post a chart of the 401K inflows and outflows, by month (or whatever), for the last 5-10 years? Anything that will support or refute Mach’s theory? |
