Not "Lies, dammed lies, and statistics, What is described here is the method known to some of us as "the method of Selected Data." The data and examples are true but they either don't really make the point, or they are no place near relevant. Or all of the points used to plaot the curve have had the"wild points" ignored. All of the wild points being the ones that do not fit the selected curve.
I do not see that I am hoarding money, I see it as holding it for the near future when I will need it to purchase food and other things equally as important.. I DO "See A Bad Moon Rising", to quote a line from that old song.
While these articles have been presented as describing stocks that appear to have desirable properties, the author is claiming that they do not constitute investment advice.
What I see is the creation of portfolios of promising stocks, as claimed by the author. Very interesting indeed.
Certainly this is a worthwhile commentary. My evaluation of those Jewish folks who embrace their religion is that they have exactly the same TEN laws for living as I do, and thus they are not my enemy or adversary. We are on the same side. But we may not always notice that.
The real problems are moral corruption, including laziness, and stupidity.
Moral corruption has changed the banking system, in a slow and sneaky manner, into a system to help the rich get richer, often at the expense of the non-rich folks, and to support that 1% above all else. Unfortunately this goes along with making poorly advised decisions that do not consider the long term.
The hate portion of this issue comes from the stupid. Stupidity is different than mental inability, because it is a choice. Alongside the stupidity is the inability to focus one's attention long enough to consider any issue in a detailed manner. Consider that if a group of individuals are not able to focus their attention long enough to realize that they have no freedoms, they will not become discontented and want changes.
Is there a solution to these problems, or what I see as problems? I have not been able to come up with a happy solution, nor a simple one. Possibly, somehow, this virus plague changing so many things, will have some effect. If nothing else, the incredible amount of debt being created will make the burden of payback large enough to gain everybody's attention. THAT would be a very painful wake-up call.
Here we see how three winners are doing it. What is missing is the description of what is different about their populations that is making their actions even possible. These are not "average" countries, they are both wealthier and less diverse, and certainly more cohesive. In addition, at least as I see it, their governments and banks are far more interested in the well being of all of their citizens. Here in the USA I do not see either our leadership nor our federal banking system as having similar motivations. ( If that statement sounds like a serious criticism, it was intended that way!. )
Stock prices vary, that is a common reality. We are frequently cautioned that previous performance does not assure future performance. And any stock that never displayed a decrease would be a bit suspect in my book. So there are good weeks and bad days and that is about as typical as things can be. Long-term performance is the goal of those who choose to avoid the high stress mode of operation.
What is missing is any explanation as to why the decrease in price. The reason a change occurs is what should be evaluated.
Certainly I agree that the US Dollar is Not OK at the present time. I have been making comments that it would not be OK, due to inflation pressures, for several weeks. It is also unfortunate that my observation was correct. In this area I would much rather be incorrect. But others have made the poor choices and so now the rest of us will do the suffering. Not a happy thing at all.
Best?, Worst?, Score?, Ratio? A bit of explanation as to the evaluation criteria would be rather useful for those not intimate with the context. Certainly I am showing such a lack. Please excuse my lack of intamacy with this evaluation system.
A very clever title, indeed! Followed by that quote from the investment officer, certainly a great opening.
If I was able to see the inflation on the horizon then it certainly should have been obvious to many others. And the rise in gold stock says that quite a few did see it coming. Some things are more obvious than "the elephant in the room", and more like the elephant in the phone booth. So if Warren Buffet saw it, why didn't the folks in the Fed see it? My thought is that it was plainly seen, but their actions are always to protect "their friends" no matter what else the results bring.
Please note that I strongly feel that repair and reform are MUCH BETTER than revolution.
Quite an interesting analysis, especially the comment about the reason for the stock market looking up :"The market’s gains have reflected the distasteful reality that the economic impact of Covid-19 is driven by our efforts at mitigation." except that it is not "OUR", it is the Fed. Everybody else is just trying to stay alive and avoid disaster.
The Fed is doing that which it knows how to do, because of not being able to guess or know any other choices. Treating the cause instead of the symptom requires understanding the cause, and it seems that is not the case, again.
And of course all of the numbers in the news media are put in terms to cause the most possible distress to the readers. So while the data may possibly be correct, the slant is always to advance some private agenda. That is nothing new, but this time the effect is worse. Certainly the deaths are tragic, but in times of hard stress the weak go first, and after that the balance are less affected. So it might be that there is not much reduction in the rate of spread, but rather a reduction in the number of weak remaining. Not a happy thought at all.
