I’m the last person you should take investment advice from, but beaten-down EM stocks like VNM and ECON and EWY are looking pretty cheap.

Looking cheap based on what?

is the stock market much more than legalized, taxpayer-insured gambling for the rich? honestly

You are actually gambling that the United States dollar will continue to exist as an accpted form of tender until your death

I mean "price is lower than it was last month" = "cheap" is kind of a classic stock market mistake.

I assumed they are talking about investment bank bailouts and everyone who caused it or wasn't affected by it, not the average retail investor. Like, all those people who were responsible, they all found other jobs, got their multi-million dollar bonuses. Everyone's private placements weathered it out.

I just had to look up what Bob Diamond was doing since he had to resign after the libor scandal. He founded "Atlas Mara Limited, formerly referred to as Atlas Mara Co-Nvest Limited, is a financial services holding company formed to undertake the acquisition of target banks in Africa." cool.

Yeah, but the stuff that sunk those investment banks was not mere stock market trading, it was much heavier and more toxic stuff that mere mortals like us don't even have access to.
― Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Friday, 26 October 2018 20:33 (five years ago) link
accredited investors/the superrich do have access. but nhex can probably clarify their meaning.

oh, i think i get what you are trying to say. Like, when I get mad at people for saying they work on wall street when most of the main buildings are nowhere near there.

admittedly i'm definitely too ignorant to mean what Yerac is going for, but sorta that is the directionlike if the stock market has the power to destroy our economy every ten years why are we doing it is my naif questionunless of course... that's the point

That was just before the dot-com bubble burst, followed by recession, weak recovery/expansion, and the Great Recession. Of course past performance is no guarantee of future results. https://t.co/Bw3EalVbDH— Doug Henwood (@DougHenwood) October 30, 2018

seems like we might oscillate, move a bit lower, and then start another climb to a new ATH in February. or maybe spx will rapidly drop below 2000 tomorrow.

To the extent that the strength of the economy rests on a shaky scaffolding of collective conviction/delusion in that strength, I geddit. But yeah.

Sara and Dan are, by most standards, wealthy. Their starter home came with a $755,000 price tag, which they could afford because their household income is more than twice the Arlington median of $104,000 and their student loans are paid off. And Sara’s dad—who until recently led the Mortgage Bankers Association in Washington—pitched in with more than half the down payment.
