Market breaks 20,000

He'll not dare answer me though. I called his amateur ass out on P/E ratios. What a cunt.

Kirkland is right on this. The fallout from the next crash will be worse than the last one and it will likely happen later this year. People forget that governments do not run the show, they merely get held hostage. Know your history.

[brocktonblockbust]

Mehhhhh.......nahhhhhhhh don't think so.

[Gandalf]

Ron Paul thinks so and you are usually 97% off with your predictions.

[Kirkland Laing]

Let criminals out. Let illegals in. Let boys in the girls bathrooms. Condemn police officers. Persecute Christians. Don't care about the veterans. Pervert the children. Stomp on and burn the American flag. Accept barbarity in the name of Islam. Overtax the hard working people. Coddle the lazy. That's the liberal way.

OK then, by any single metric you can name of measuring stock values, US stocks are earning three to five times as much as similar earning Russian stocks. Why is that? You can't answer, can you?

Russia has an economy the size of Italy

Ron Paul has been predicting an economic catastrophe every single year since the early 1980s. Every single year. He's got a bunch of people who buy his newsletters or sign up for his publications and they're all goldbug idiots. Doom and gloom is what they want to hear and they keep on buying the same shit year after year. He's literally made millions out of selling doom and gloom to them.

Russia has an economy the size of Italy

How about Russian multinationals like Gazprom then who produce and pump gas and oil all over the world? The size of the economy isn't even relevant for domestic firms. I'm comparing earnings per share. Or at least future projected earnings per share which is what stock prices are based on.

The reason there's such a difference is the rule of law. Investors need to feel that there's a set of rules that everyobdy has to adhere to, that contracts will be respected and so on. Investor rights need to be protected. Corrupt environments and weak investor protections from scams and corrupt financial systems mean stocks trade at a massive discount. In Russia assets can be confiscated or reassigned by the government. CEOs can be jailed for going against the existing power structure.

America has the strongest or equal strongest market protections in the world. But once a government starts ignoring the rule of law and shows no respect for longstanding international agreements that they've previously signed up to that can change in an instant. It won't happen all at once but a Trump administration that gradually erodes trust in the rule of law and the institutions of government will inevitably cause US stocks, bonds and other assets to trade at a discount. Maybe even a significant discount.

I would not be surprised to see a correction. That is what the market does. It goes up and down. This market did quite well while the economy didn't. Am American company will always have higher expected valuation than a Russian company due to trust in Americas government but you must already know that. Putin could nationalize anything anytime.

[walrus]

U are looking at the Russian power structure as a good thing. If companies get too much power Putin will lock up the ceo

Putin is the CEO just like Trump. There is no difference and you are all basically now nearly 60% communist and that is rising quickly. Trump can silence all the media and shit on everyone but America, but in the end his isolationism will leave him so fucking ronery that his little wotsit tears will flow like the kool aid you are all knocking back right now.

Rates are rising and the debt has mounted, the mountain has to topple. The only reason it has maintained is historically low interest rates. Have to keep them there now or burn things up a little.

This year or next depending on factors. I cannot believe you don't have alternative passports yet.
