OT: Stock Market Watch, Q2 2018
This is a serious thread, only to discuss the ups and downs of the stock market.
Please keep it on topic: previous editions of this thread have been shut down due to trolling or off-topic unfunny puns or similar shenanigans, comments like those are not welcome here. Neither are political comments or jabs. Off topic and unwelcome. Sadly these threads tend to bring out the trolls, yesterday's thread was shut down due to trolling within hours. Again, please refrain from posing off topic posts in this thread, including political commentary. Mods, please take note and ban offenders. Down 722 yesterday, another 425 today .

The issues with the market currently are primarily "Trade War" fears and the effect on earnings.
Unfortunately, to discuss this will only evolve into a political discussion, which will cause the thread to be closed, and it will be impossible to ignore this for the current market. |

In olden days, recessions led to a drop in the stock market. Now, because of our blind faith in the so called 'wealth effect', we must never allow markets to drop because it might lead to a recession. It is bizzaro world. You'll probably hear some jaw boning this weekend from some lackie of the Fed talking about how they may slow the pace of rate hikes this year.

Yield curve continues to flatten, retail investment is at all time highs, everything is overpriced, credit is too accessible. Other economic fundamentals are sound and even improving, the last unemployment report shot the markets up 2%, and we were't talking about that. More than anything, I think everyone is waiting for the other shoe to drop and inconsistency from policy makers certainly plays into the fears of money managers and retail investors alike. I was watching cnbc for a moment today and you'd have thought there was an asteroid headed towards earth. I can't see how you get the jitters out of the market at this point.

CNBC is an absolute joke.
I've found the better market news comes from overseas. Quote:

Simple question. Where else are you going to make money in a still ZIRP world?
RE? That party ended ten years ago. Commodities? China has credit woes, too.

She's probably more concerned about her grandma's trust fund dropping big time. If she has a clue. Probably not. Next Thanksgiving, she'll be given the bad news. Sweetheart, time to get a job. We've arranged something at your uncle's firm. Don't worry, it won't be hard. Gotta give up that weird OCD biking thing. We contacted a doctor about that. You'll be fine. Don't worry. Please, don't cry.
