Since we started talking with Martin Armstrong years ago, he's been adamant in his belief that the stock market was heading higher. And he's been right. Perhaps it hasn't gone up as fast as he expected, but it has continued to make new highs. He's not backing down now. Businesses and the wealthy are putting their money into the market because they've lost confidence in governments around the globe. They believe their capital is safer in the stock market than in government bonds, the Euro, European Banks and elsewhere. Governments are on a rampage against the populace. It's all about survival. In their current configuration, they cannot survive. They're in an unsustainable death spiral. But rather than admit that and restructure, they have gone the route of confiscation and authoritarianism. In the long run it won't work, but for now they've got nothing to lose.

Anyone who thinks Central Banking collapse is good for the stock market is smoking crack.
Whether by inflation or debt deflation, the stock market would suffer terribly.
How many people know how the banking system works?
anyone who thinks senior secured bonds ) in a 120 year old Fortune 50 company) are a safe investment should ask GM bond holders their thoughts
42,000? Is this a typo for 24,000?
Not unless Trump keeps on winning will the DJI reach 42000 and his winning spell has recently slowed down, noticeably.
...and $100 buys a loaf of bread.
Or because the 35 year drop in interest rates has come to its end. Even if you invest in safe bonds, the value will drop as interest rates around you rise.
As for Dow 42000, it is only one doubling away so 12 years at a slow 6% gain, 9 years at 8% or 6 years at a robust 12%. Or never if you listened to Krugman during the 12 hour stock market dip on election night.
Yes it has remarkably. The DC swamp inertia has taken effect. The establishment is riding this out better than we can make substantial gains for MAGA doctrine. Furthermore, I believe some centrist tendencies are coming forward within President Trump and there seems to be some bad policy advisement.
I talk to friends who have money to invest.
Government bonds have been discredited as a safe investment. During the Obama regime, people heavily into federal government bonds lost 75% or more of their purchasing power.
Gold goes up and down as much as the stock market, maybe more, and is not as liquid or transportable. If you want something to keep in your home to store value, I recommend guns, ammo, and food, maybe technologies to make yourself more self sufficient.
My eyes were opened on this when I tried to trade an ounce of gold for a gun (based on spot market price) and NO ONE would take me up on it.
Real Estate is not as liquid as Stocks, and it goes up and down as we saw in 2008, and has happened numerous times in different locations all over the nation.
So, yes, people see the Stock market, especially index funds, as far safer than most other investment.
Are they perfect? Far, far from it. We live in perilous times. Buying real estate in other countries is another fairly popular option, if you can do it.
It is still risky, and takes a fair amount of funds.
I consider one of the best investments I have made in years was the money I sent to the Donald Trump campaign.
If Trump continues to win, the country continues to win and everyone gets safer in their investments.
Is this another of those “financial” web sites that exist to shill gold and silver as the be all to end all? Appears to be.

You mean how ‘on paper’, it ‘used to’ or the current ‘evolved into’??
