In 2008, we had subprime mortgages which had been a disaster waiting to happen for years. A completely dishonest financial instrument.
What do we have now?
The stock market is down for 2018 (i.e., it's not overpriced), unemployment is at a record low, and in fact companies are so desperate for good employees they are training kids right out of high school...they are even training ex-cons in programs that are proving to be real success stories in saving the lives of previously troubled men and women.
Just where is this economic trouble of which you speak.
The stock market and the economy don’t always mirror each other, and there are times when emotions and manipulation can, in the short run, make investors ignore the fundamentals.
Our economy is the envy of the world, and has been since tax cuts and deregulation.
Anyone who still believes in Efficient Market Theory just hasn’t been paying attention.
I am buying in.
