There are plenty of groceries, so no shortage there, and lots of gas at the pumps, but all prices are up 5% at least. So that certainly has the smell of inflation. The permanent variety, not transient or transitory, but here to stay.
It is moore than a little spooky to see a representation that stock market pricing can be predicted by means of some formula or mathamatic function, when the price is driven by both known and unknown forces.
One thing about the integrated circuit (IC Chips) industry is that the production equipment is constantly changing, and always very expensive. In addition, setup time for a production line is long and tedious. Thus a full-speed rush to build additional production might take most of a year. That, coupled with another wave of production lines becoming a bit obsolete at the time when demand was projected to drop, all lead to a lack of production capability that would satisfy the sudden demands.
If there had been a bit more wisdom available then perhaps production capability in the "not quite bleeding edge" technology might have been easily able to produce the parts that were a bit bigger and a previous generation, but still totally adequate for the tasks. Amazing how clear hindsight can be sometimes.
From this we learn that more information than just the immediate trend is required to make decisions that are actually smart. We also see that just because someone wins once or twice it is not certain that they will win every time. We hear often that past performance does not always assure future performance, except when it does.
Of course the quick way to "get rich quick" is to buy low and then sell high. The challenge of selling high is always that to sell there must be buyers willing to buy at the high price. Without buyers the result is not profitable,short term at least. Now with this particular stock the question I pose is "what is the product". Product has a big effect on earnings and without earnings it seems more like a bubble. I would choose to avoid owning a bubble because they always pop. So some folks may have timed buying and selling just right and come out ahead. That time may have passed.
Quite an interesting article.And certainly an "average" that includes a few exceptions is not as informative as would be useful.
And what will that latest version of the WuFlu bring? We can't even guess.
But here is a scary question: What if a significant portion of the world population DOES die?? Say 10% or even 20%???? What effect would that have on the rest?? Has anybody stopped to think about that, even?? Probably it would affect "the market," don't you think??
Sorry Folks, I am rather more in favor of "Natural Selection"in business and life. This includes credit at some interest rate so that gambling is not cheap. Just because somebody has an idea does not mean that it is a good idea, Poor ideas fail, and poorly managed good ideas fail also. Nature is brutal and non-forgiving of poor choices.
And the Federal Reserve club has done what they can think of to support that alternative approach of helping their friends on Wall Street, with no regard for the rest of the population.
