    It's been a pretty good predictor, but then it seems when you tell everybody something's been a good predictor it entrenches that thing as a pretty good predictor, in a self-fulfilling prophecy kind of way.

    Information is supposed to make markets more pure, but it's such a reactive thing anymore I wonder.

    Welp, some stocks might be on sale soon.

    All of the Central Banks are so far from normal with low (to negative) interest rates I don’t think any of the previous “rules” mean much anymore. Nobody is making borrowing decisions based on interest payments or cuts in them when you are already at 3% or lower...all it is now is a measure of currency strength.

    Stocks are nuts at these levels, but when you look at these low rates and the rest of the world basically already in a recession where else are you going to put your money?

    I would hate to be exposed. I’m calling you out. You just regurgitated 300 words of meaningless gibberish that confirms for me that you are a fucking idiot. Go for it you moron.

    What the fuck are you rambling about? I’m talking about businesses being able to pretty much borrow however much they want at crazy low rates. Cutting interest rates doesn’t spur them to borrow more because we are already at insanely low rates.

    True.

    Funds will flow to the US for better yields and relative safety, low political risk.

    Domestic borrowing isn’t going to change much.
