Whatever may be the real driver of price movement physics, we are seeing the market turn down like it did in January 2008, and not turning up like January 2012. So the presumption is that we are in for a bear market year. It does not have to be of the magnitude of 2008, or 2001-02, but a downward trend is still what is upon us.
We already have confirmation of an economic slowdown. And it is arriving just as US tax receipts say it should, now that total receipts have gone above 18%. If anyone thinks that such a problem can be solved quickly, then he does not understand the process of bear market resolution

If you are not in cash— get in cash . I am watching these banks very carefully.
Yes, reality will catch up with the lies in a harsh way.
“We already have confirmation of an economic slowdown. “
The funny thing is, the west has not grasped this yet, but they can’t cover up China. Why we send jobs and tech there is beyond me, but China being largely an exporter, if they are slowing down, that means their customers, like the US, are slowing down. Between taxes, obamacare and such, something has got to give or this mess will go on indefinitely just like in Japan.
“Yes, reality will catch up with the lies in a harsh way”.
That’s an excellent way to put it.
This market is not like 2008. It is not like any other market ever in American history.
Donald Trump is going to bring back American manufacturing. However he doesn’t seem to be advocating protectionism. That means to me, that he is mulling over the value of the dollar as a means to bring back American production.
Just saying. I have heard nothing from him to say that. But I have heard him talk about bringing production back from China and other countries.
If he’s not talking about protectionism, he is talking about the value of our dollar, perhaps.
I don’t know this, but it doesn’t seem contrary to what could happen.
I’m shocked at what they’ve done to this country. In such a short period of time.
What the market is telling us is that the AFC will win the Super Bowl in a blowout. When the NFC wins, stocks go up, and stocks ain’t going seriously up for a while.
Double-plus good citizen - Big brother sez the unemployment rate is 5%!
Govt, MSM, financial and academic institutions now rely on and perpetuate outright lies.
A record 94 Million Americans of working age are NOT participating in the work force at this time.
Our work force job participation rate is 62 %, the lowest in three+ decades.
If the US dept of labor used 1980 U6 - U3 labor measurement metrics, the real unemployment rate would be 25 %, similar to during the Great Depression.
17% of US jobs are currently held by immigrants.
EBT food stamp participation has doubled to 48 Million recipients since Obola took office.
I’ve NEVER seen So Many homeless people on the streets on either of the coast’s cities I’ve recently visited.
Our House of cards is collapsing because it’s built on a foundation of lies.
The FED has just announced it plans on raising rates several times this year because: “the economy has strenthened so much”.
As we’ve seen with Dec’s FED increase, each rate hike will result in significant Stock market declines.
2016 is going to be a very turbulent year, deliberately.
Yes, it’s very shocking.

My bank even pays me 2%.
The Fed has to catch up with reality.
Of course, I still remember paying 12% on a mortgage.
Borrowing at 12% and only getting 2% (or less) is something that I’ll never forget. So much for Mr. President Equality.
Great observation. As the MSM pimps and pimpettes keep blaming the stock market fall on China and totally ignore the economic catastrophe in the US.
Today they announced 292,000 jobs created in Dec. 2015 ... what they failed to say was that probably 260,000 of them were temp and part-time jobs which will not be reflected in unemployment figures because the majority of them will not be able to claim unemployment. In Nov. and Dec. 2016 the jobs will be recreated again and the MSM pimps and pimpettes will start their celebratory dances again.
Yep. And I'm sure the average German, Norwegian, and Swede are all saying that as well. The problem is that these disastrous policies are very difficult to reverse.
Absolutely.
Merkel is going to fundamentally-change Germany. Along with others.
I, too, am shocked at Sweden and Norway being so gullible.
The Germans may fire Merkel. Out of a cannon.
[The problem is that these disastrous policies are very difficult to reverse.]
I agree. Unfortunately, I agree.
