Just glancing at the charts, it looks like your recommendations have gone down lately about as much as the SPY (on a percentage basis). If you're looking for safety, check out SCHD. Only down about 13.8%, while SPY is down 21.25%.
Jeffrey, you probably have good information in your articles, but your writing style is so "stylish," that it's hard to tell. Stop trying to be John Steinbeck, and just be a guy who explains the markets in a straightforward manner. Clever writing that doesn't convey the author's meaning is a waste of time and pixels.
I would be happy to do the job but wouldn't be popular with the Wall Street crowd. I would never let real rates become negative. Yes, you heard me right. Rates right now would be around 7%. The current "0-.25" number is theft in broad daylight.
The stock market should not be a place for the top few percent to beat inflation while savers lose to it. The stock market should reward outstanding companies and their shareholders, and nothing more.
I always enjoy your articles, Lance, but I have a question. Whenever anyone talks about the rising national debt, it's usually in the form of either total dollars, or as a percent of GDP. What would the historical numbers look like adjusted for inflation? In other words, when you say that the current debt is $28 trillion as opposed to $9 trillion 10 years ago and only $5 trillion 20 years ago, that isn't really comparing apples to apples, because a dollar is worth less today than it was in those past periods.
"The foregoing does not mean the dollar’s role might not be eroded by the rise of regional currencies. In fact, that outcome seems inevitable, eventually. Nor does it mean that the value of the U.S. dollar might not decline as macro factors wax and wane..."
Way too many uses of the word "not". It's not clear what you mean. I think you meant to say:
"The foregoing does not mean the dollar’s role might be eroded by the rise of regional currencies. In fact, that outcome seems inevitable, eventually. Nor does it mean that the value of the U.S. dollar might decline as macro factors wax and wane..."
I removed the second "not" in both sentences. Is that the meaning you are trying to convey? Of course, I might not not be correct.
