wife and I both collect SS and have almost no debt.

Us too, zero debt and a very small month-to-month need for cash. I'll be looking to invest some cash on hand in the market, but not sure where is best for me. I need to get some advice.

Just listen to them.

Recession, recession, it’s a recession, do you think it’s a recession? Yes, obviously this is Trump’s recession on and on and on...

And there are people in this thread who think things are driven by something other than fake news and manufactured events.

Trading algorithms add to any pile-on in selloffs. I thought there were supposed ‘circuit breakers’ but that may only be the case for individual stocks.

All this means is there is a buying spree on 10 year USTs. Why?

Not on purpose, more algorithmic trading nonsense, like most big swings... Once the algorithms start selling they trigger bigger sells... hence they breaks were put into the trading day etc.

You left out one important item from your list.

The Fed stopped reporting one of its money supply measures in 2006. It's no coincidence that commodity prices escalated dramatically after this, reaching an all-time high of nearly $150/barrel in mid-2008. I know some very astute investors who bailed out of their real estate holdings in 2006 and 2007 when this all began to unfold.

I can’t stand her, either. I typically only watch when Maria is hosting.

First of all, I’d like to thank everyone who is panicking. I like to buy things on sale. Second, so what if the yield curve inversion predicted the last seven recessions. It also occasionaly inverts when there is no recession too. With China going Tiananmen over Hong Kong, businesses will be racing for the safe shores of the US.

In a balanced portfolio there should be no need to panic sell.

*************

Agree. If a sell off causes you to panic your portfolio was not well constructed and not taking risks into account. When stock valuations are broadly elevated, like they have been for some time, its time to think about de-risking and going into a more defensive posture.

Trying to squeeze the last nickle of profit out of the market can expose one to costly downside risk. Just not worth it.

“Sounds like this is being done on purpose.”

Of course it is! The wall street liberals are going to do everything they can to make sure President Trump only serves one term.

Liberal pukes like Neil(and Bob)Cavuto hate Trump with a passion.

RE: With China going Tiananmen over Hong Kong

I doubt they’re going to do this.

They probably learned their lesson from Tienanmen and what they’ll do this time, is wait the protesters out and hope they collapse into exhaustion ( you can’t protest forever and sooner or later, you’ll have to go back to work and put food on the table ).

All interest rates are still remarkably low. Especially long rates. The 30 yr is yielding only 2%. Investors are buying Treasury debt for security more than yield.

So with a long rate of 2%, it only takes a Fed Discount rate of 2.5% to produce an inverted yield curve. An inverted yield curve is often a sign of coming recession but it’s not a guarantee. And with rates as low as they are it’s not like money is tight.

My guess would be Europe is buying due to the fact that they still have near zero interest rates, while ours are rising.

Do you think in todays world that all as it appears to be?

Can the past be a judge of the future in our current world?

The world is 180 degrees out of sync and standing on it’s head. Be RUSH and don’t play these DEM games.

“Recession fears” are being pushed by the Leftist Media and dems. They WANT the nation to fail, along with the President.

Manipulation.

Someone is starting those rumors to cause a sell off so they can buy cheap.
