The conditions have now aligned for a repeat of the major stock market crashes that have occurred since the founding of the US Federal Reserve Bank (Fed) in 1913. Considering their vast experience and resources, the Fed has to know that their plan to control inflation by raising interest rates rapidly and significantly since 2022, and also tightening credit this year, will likely result in another major crash. Although the Fed has issued vague warnings about the impending pain on the stock market and economy, they have not explained how and why they will again wipe out trillions of dollars of wealth of unsuspecting investors.
As Marty Zweig, a successful Wall Street investment adviser known for data studies, warned, “Don’t fight the Fed,” because the central bank largely controls the direction of the stock markets. Generally, the major stock market booms start with the Fed stimulating slow economic growth by lowering interest rates, often while the government increases deficit spending. As Austrian business cycle theory predicts, this results in asset price inflation (e.g., stocks, houses, etc.), and sometimes also consumer price inflation. The major busts result when the Fed seeks to control the inflation by raising interest rates significantly, while the government reduces deficit spending.

To think that George Wallace was the classiest one out of the whole bunch.
“What is really important is having stock in stable, profitable corporations that pay dividends.”
The problem is that corporations lie about their numbers—a lot.
There is no way to know about it until it is too late.
Decades of a great stock market have made folks complacent.
Their day of reckoning is coming—but I have no clue exactly when that day will come.
Heh

That being said, W was pushing open borders, NAFTA, and frankly I never blamed Saddam for 9/11. But I don’t think the government did 9/11 (heh).
(just adding that as a comment)
And though the scene in “American Made” was great, the attorney general of Arkansas at that time was not a woman.
Oh, and since it was around election time, all the scenes with the actor playing Bill Clinton got cut from the theater release (thanks Hollywood!).
I don’t know if those scenes are on the DVD release since I don’t own it.

The five major stock market crashes can be considered to have started in 1915, 1929, 1965, 2000, and 2007, with another likely in 2022.
For example, the S&P 500 rose 14% in a month and a half from April 4 to May 21 --- in year 2001 -- a large bounce in an even larger bear market that had the S&P 500 drop 44% overall during a long 2 and a half years from March 24, 2000 to Oct 31, 2002 (using a favorite S&P 500 index fund of mine for the data to track investing in the S&P 500).
W’s folks also predicted when Solyndra would fail, and declined to guarantee federal loans. Obama guaranteed the loans, ($250 million, if memory serves) and Solyndra failed on schedule.
Saddam was undeniably a State sponsor of terror. In the post 9-11 Bush Doctrine...”You're with us, or you’re against us.”....that was a dangerous thing to be. Add the personal animus between the Bushes and Saddam, and tens of thousands died. Biden is having a “hold my beer” moment in Ukraine.
Thanks! My faulty memory recalled “one” letter. But, per the link, GWB did a lot more than that in an effort to stem the breakdown.
My apologies, George!
That being said (RE your GWB comment), I recall a trip to DC with my family and my sister (a left-wing cat lady). Cruising the monuments, my sister saw something with GWB’s name on it and told my wife that she hated his name being on it (I wasn’t there). I don’t like saying it, but I’ve edged closer to her side than the side I was on that day. George had his faults...ones I can’t forgive him for. Oh well...we live and we burn.
Halliburton was started by a man named Halliburton in the 1920’s in Duncan, OK.
“What is really important is having stock in stable, profitable corporations that pay dividends.”
Definitely. I like index funds of high dividend stocks. Buy and hold long game.
It certainly goes back to at least the Greenspan Put in 87.

what about all the financial panics from 1816 to the present,
1929 was not a 1 off. there have been down turns long before the FED came into being
The 2008 market crash was due to D’s changing home loan requirements. It was a scam to rip off the gov via dumping unsecured and fraudulent Mortgage Back Securities into the market.
You probably think the Silicon Valley Bank failure is Trumps fault!
Go get some education before spouting off your ‘Republicans-are-to blame’ nonsense.
Here are some audio visual assisted learning materials on the 2008 crash/fed back stop (bailout of Ds & crooks) to help you.

(You probably think the Silicon Valley Bank failure is Trumps fault)
WRONG
Bush was and still is reckless. He’s chosen his sides. I think all of those things combined for the disaster.
And if you think W isn’t on their side you’re the one that needs to get some education.
(Go get some education before spouting off your ‘Republicans-are-to blame’ nonsense)
Making up a statement I didn’t say? Of course.
Wrong again. I was talking about open-borders Globalist George W Bush.
He was borrowing heavily from China to finance nation building. How did that work out?
If you haven’t seen how W has sided against President Donald Trump then you’re not paying attention.
