Occam’s razor:
1-—The Dow went up 8000 points last year without any significant correction, that’s never happened before. We were due for a correction.
2-—The Fed raised interest rates 3 times in one year, which makes bonds seem more attractive and secure than stocks.
3-—Congress (@holes as usual) is going to be doing some massive deficit spending, and the government is going to flood the market with government bonds—and the bonds will seem safer and more secure than the stock market.
4-—Cramer is partially right about panicking new stock market investors. They held back last year and then finally jumped in late in the year because it seemed nothing would stop the market from roaring ahead. Then the correction started to kick in and a lot of them are in full panic mode. My brother in law is this kind of investor. He thinks he can time the market and he always buys high and sells low LOL.
Never sell the farm because of a bad crop handmade mortgage it needlessly to buy new tools because of a good crop.
