Stock Market is the bottom in?

[Angus 1895]

Me thinks pay pal might keep climbing……..

or not.

I think we all have close to a year to load up on stocks while they are on sale. With our know nothing leadership in this country it's gonna be awhile before anything improves. LOAD UP!

We're stuck in limbo now, waiting for the ministry of currency to decide how much air to pump in or let out of the economy. The money supply has actually gone down for the first time in 40 years. We're in an interesting spot right now with the fed slowly choking off the debt economy, and the federal government printing trillions in funny dollars as fast as they can digitize them, wash them in the far east, and put them right back in their own pockets.

I'm 100% invested again. I've found a way to make it go in a flat to declining market that covers the risk, and I'm pushing like hell while the waters are calm. If the bottom blows out, I'm hosed just like everyone else. Here's the winning roster at the moment, at least I think so.

Not so fast my friend………

unless the war stops.

The world runs on war. The economy would be in major trouble if there were peace and good health throughout the world.

I just keep on buying my boring beat down index funds. I’m unimaginative and lazy.

I wonder how long it will take to get the nuclear fusion that they finally got to work in December to replace the current fossil fuel based economy. There will be massive winners and losers in the coming years because of it most likely.

Time for a read between the lines exercise. First, the narrative from the ministry of plenty:

Nonfarm payrolls rose 223,000 in December, as strong jobs market tops expectations

Nonfarm payrolls increased by 223,000 for the month, above the Dow Jones estimate for 200,000, while the unemployment rate fell to 3.5%.

Then the read out from those who actually read the report:

Inside The "Strong" Jobs Report: Full-Time Workers -1K; Part-Time Workers +679K | ZeroHedge

ZeroHedge - On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero

www.zerohedge.com

The way I read it, we lost 456,000 full time jobs last month, and there a bunch more people not working at all, and many more working harder than ever.

Lots of spin in their numbers

It’s January and a whole slew of people are about to start piling money into 401k plans again. Of course it has to go up before we start buying again. They wouldn’t want us to be able to buy low would they?

I doubt that most folks reach the 401k max to stop paying into their 401k’s earlier in the year so why do you feel January will see a large increase in contributions?

I bet a lot of us on here do. I think more of my profession peers do than don’t.

And mostly I was just trying to be a smart ass, TBH.

A bit higher percentage than I would have guessed. 12% according to Vanguard

It helps to live well below one’s means and prioritize saving. I drive a 250k mile vehicle and live in a farmhouse I heat with wood. Not everyone is interested in living this way.

That sounds like living within one’s means to me.
