Brymoore? Where do you project the market to be in three years? You're an analyst, to a degree.
I think there is a lot to that theory. Interestingly, about 7-10 years ago, APPL traded at an average market multiple for a long time. It was the largest company in the world and everyone said there was no way it should trade at a higher multiple. Then it traded at 40x, so go figureIt was expensive no matter what. But I also have come to change my thinking that P/E ratios have been way too high for a couple years because of the death of pensions replaced with 401k's that have a flood of money every payday.
BTW, my "bets" have donated several hundreds of $'s towards conservation within these, "bets". - One of the key aspects why WE are members of Hunt Talk. My wife has donated several hundreds of dollars in her crafting for our conservation efforts within our events that Randy has 100% supported, including specific support for ACTION to support and promote conservation efforts versus the majority who talk...Good ole Sytes. Always looking to make bet.
Me too, but the self inflicted nonsense is ridiculous.Easy $, right? Someone who believes we are doomed, It is your $250 to my $500. Easy money if your yammer meets your $. I am betting on the market - THAT is the essence of the market.![]()
Your bet is a better structure. The original bet was placed on the other thread and was essentially a bet against the adaptability of the US corporation, which no sane person should ever take. And 3 yrs? Seriously? Trump could come out tomorrow and say something to reverse this whole thing. Anyone want to bet the SPY hits new ATH highs before year-end? Down 12.5% since the Feb high.If he wanted to actually get some takers on the wager he would need to set a target at a reasonable amount higher than it is today. Run each of those indexes forward 3 years with a 5% return and you have the S&P500 at 6,247, the DOW at 46,936 and the NASDAQ at 19,159.
Throw a straight up bet for the S&P500 at 6,250 the DOW at 47,000 or the NASDAQ at 19,000. That would be something legitimate to let people put their money where their mouth is.
I’m not an analyst but I read various economic reports for my job.Brymoore? Where do you project the market to be in three years? You're an analyst, to a degree.
I sure hope the S&P hits 6250 in 3 years, it was just February that it hit 6144.If he wanted to actually get some takers on the wager he would need to set a target at a reasonable amount higher than it is today.

Bastards are making money! They raised my monthly rate by $20 a couple months ago. Contract is up this summer and I'm telling them to piss off.I put money into WM. Waste management! Might be a gold mine of its own cleaning up the mess. Who would have thought?
Might as well go back to November 3rd when it was 5,712. Still higher than close today.I sure hope the S&P hits 6250 in 3 years, it was just February that it hit 6144.

You are abusing Friedman’s work. It is excessive money supply that causes inflation. Borrowing does not directly increase money supply.So, spending $2T more per year than you bring in, $1T on interest a year, with $36T+ in debt......might be the main cause of inflation, not tariffs.
Both Vanguard and Fidelity reps talked me into their belief that the relative value of international was going to outpace US back last fall. Glad I listened to them it's helped weather the storm some.Your bet is a better structure.

The summary point of the other thread was look at your portfolio and the holdings of international stocks over US. If you did that, you were a relative winner today as the dollar got crushed. EEM -2.1% EFA -2.1% SPY -4.9.
For those who follow Friedman, remember his view on what causes inflation.
Economist Milton Friedman famously stated, "Inflation is made in Washington," attributing the root cause to excessive government spending and money creation. His insight remains relevant today as debates intensify over fiscal policies fueling inflationary pressures.

Trump, history will tell if right or wrong in the long run, is trying to get spending back down to acceptable levels - the massive jump in gov't spending the past few years is not sustainable.
