re your…”lotsa drooling bargain hunters…that has been the correct modus operandi for the past 10 years…but I think the majority will be surprised by stocks continuing down and gold continuing up…”
Comment:
I agree. Starting in the middle of 2016, when Trump/they were announcing the new master plan to rebuild the US economy, from then until now was just a huge knee-jerk reaction. Re the “no inflation in sight” their media keeps saying?
Inflation defined as increase in money supply? In reality, higher prices out of thin air, for stocks and real estate is a net HIGHER money supply. Unfortunately it’s not helping the poor masses 18 to 24 years old, spend money, if they don’t have any real estate or shares to cash out and spend into the retail and service sector.
The older people that DO own real estate or shares, don’t really need anything to spend money on. Re the excess growth in real estate or shares, money supply? Those owners if they see price drops in stocks and real estate, and start cashing out, the only places for cash would be sweep funds into U.S. treasuries and or gold and silver. The 401 k plans? I don’t what they would do. Bonds?
Heavy buying in Bonds should naturally lower rates (if the Fed allows it) and lower the dollar.
