Spanktron9 Posts: 2787 Incept: 2009-03-13 Reality. Online	I still see 1450 S&P before any potential correction. I was also going to start a "When does BB throw bucky under the bus to prop equities" thread, but...meh. I think we all know the answer. ---------- "Winter is coming." -Motto of House Stark "Mo'lon La'be"- Leonidas "Strong people are harder to kill than weak people, and more useful in general" - Mark Rippetoe "Its like Calvinball."-MarvinMartian 2012-03-15 13:01:03 Permalink
Mayorquimby Posts: 13909 Incept: 2008-09-18 The Archaic Past	**** it - make it 1,700. Clearly they won't stop adding liquidity until unemployment is below 7%. Asshats. I hope we megaphone up to 1700 and then down to 450. ---------- They who wish to hurt you, work within the law. - Morrissey Gold is theft. 2012-03-15 13:04:04 Permalink

Magus Posts: 1979 Incept: 2008-05-04	PE ratio now (both trailing and forward) is a lot more "normal" than in 1999. The fed is going to print...stocks are a decent hedge (although I do think we are due for a correction at some point soon) ---------- "There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion.

Mayorquimby Posts: 13909 Incept: 2008-09-18 The Archaic Past	Stocks are a crummy hedge. Look....let's say you have $75,000 to invest. You even know how to hedge and make the best trades turning that $75,000 into $110,000. Huge return there. You cash out at just the right moment. You pocketed $35,000 minus cap gains. So you basically walk away $30,000 richer. Then what? What will $30,000 do for ya? Bupkis. That's what. Because the price of an apartment in NYC went up $60,000 in the same time period. And even if you made a couple hundred grand, anything you buy is inflated and them deflates later on. Nobody wins when bubbles burst. Those who play along win so long as the bubble is bubbling. But it ends and unless you were playing options and really taking on huge risk, it's not a winning strategy at all. ---------- They who wish to hurt you, work within the law. - Morrissey Gold is theft. 2012-03-15 22:46:53 Permalink
Mayorquimby Posts: 13909 Incept: 2008-09-18 The Archaic Past	As for PE, it's not as bad as 1999 but is waaaaaay up there vs. any other time period in the past hundred years. ---------- They who wish to hurt you, work within the law. - Morrissey Gold is theft. 2012-03-15 22:48:11 Permalink
Eaglewwit Posts: 6054 Incept: 2007-11-30 SoCal Banned	Most organic rally I have ever seen. Based on nothing but fundamentals. Stocks are the only investment for retirement. 2012-03-15 23:35:39 Permalink
Magus Posts: 1979 Incept: 2008-05-04	Mayor---why do you say that? Forward P/E for S&P is about 16-18, which is right in line with historical trends. Sure, companies like Amazon are off the charts but others like MSFT are trading at like 11x next year's earnings ---------- "There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion.

Eaglewwit Posts: 6054 Incept: 2007-11-30 SoCal Banned	I love all those who use forward earnings. All it is is WS's guess. And don't forget we are earnings are at record levels. That which goes up must come down, but that was before The Bernank took charge. Last modified: 2012-03-16 11:59:15 by eaglewwit 2012-03-16 11:58:00 Permalink
Argos Posts: 6338 Incept: 2008-03-23 The Green Mountain State	David Kelly, Chief Market Strategist for J.P. Morgan Funds, just claimed on BB Radio that he doesn't have an end-of-year target for equities because no-one knows where the markets are going to be at the end of the year. 2012-03-16 12:17:41 Permalink
