Didn't read this far down, didn't realize it was a spammer.
Disagreed about touching the stock market, it is still a great time to get in for the long haul. Just as if you were starting bonsai, do some research. If you pick good companies with good leadership, in a growing industry now is a great time to get in there. I would be hesitant about real estate, but in reality, I am not sure the housing market can/will get much more depressed. There is a huge surplus of houses there, and you can get good deals. It is a complete buyers market and if you have money lying around, which is the main problem for most americans, then now is a great time to invest.
Only with discretionary funds. You have to remember one of the basics of economics: Everything is driven by supply and demand. If people do not have jobs and lose their homes it is true homes become affordable but, there must be people with jobs to buy them. Even Gold has no value basically, because; when things are desperate you can't eat it. I believe all of this is happening on purpose; but even if it isn't, the results are the same, we will, if something is not done by this next election, wind up like pre-WWII Germany.
Agreed with you these are not prosporous times. Still, having made a good return investing in 2008-2010, I would look at now as an opportunity. Clearly though the economy needs people to work and have disposable income for us to return to a healthier economy. We are in thr bottom of the cycle, you don't wan to wait to invest when it gets to the top. Just my opinion.
You may not want to wait till the economy gets to the top but are you sure it has hit the bottom? I am not so sure. If things keep going the way they have been going you may see the dollar devalued to levels equal to the German currency before WWII. We are well on our way to doing just that. QE I and QE II and maybe even QE III. How many know what this quantitative easing really is? For those who have wondered it is nothing more than printing money to supposedly finance our own debt.
This in reality does nothing more than devalue the the dollar and create inflation. It means that your pay check, in real dollars, is now worth less and the cost of goods and services are going to cost more. When things cost more companies tend to lay off workers they can no longer support because the public can no longer afford the product or service that company offers. In order for the company to survive they have to charge more for their product and service or---cut cost by making their product cheaper in materials and workmanship----or lay people off, --or all of the above.
And now we have the streets of America flooded with people who are in essence demanding that the government take care of them and give them free stuff.
I do not see this administration doing anything to reverse this trend and if it is not reversed The United States will sease to exist as we have known her.
Good points all around Vance I completely agree. I hope people think about that come next November. I picture more a more stagnant market than a dropping one myself. A changing of the guards might just be what the market is waiting for.
Things have degraded so much over the last three years that it will take more than a "Feel Good" attitude about the market to fix it. There are a lot of things that have to be undone and a lot of regulations that are hamstringing business, especially small businesses, that have to be done away with. Two biggies come to mind: Obama Care and the EPA, which during this same period has assumed dictatorial powers over the country making it impossible for new business to start up and existing businesses to continue to operate without drastic and costly change. Then we wonder and complain because business moves off shore? Busines owners have families to feed just like the rest of us. Problem is they have everything they own invested in their business----this is called risk.
Another great post Vance. I completely understand business decisions made for the health of the company, and I think that is important in a capitalist society. I wish we didn't bail out the automakers because we basically missed a chance to weed out the ones who weren't being innovative enough, or chasing their bottom line enough to be a healthy company. There are always going to be winners and losers, what good is it if we give the losers some extra cash? To lose again?
I think stock market is the best field to invest money.
