Stock markets are too high and set to fall, says Bank of England deputy

WheelsAtLarge•1 day ago

This is absolutely true. I too guaranty that the market will have a wild fall in the future. The problem is that we don't know when it will happen. The best we can do is pick the best investments we can, invest for the long term and hope for the best.

Someone still thinks markets have to reflect the state of the economy?

To put it simply, bad economy = more volatility. There's a reason ETF's are mostly fine when the economy sucks, because they don't bet on volatility.

Day traders who are now betting their <25k savings on a random ticker aren't safe, though.

Why wouldn't this be priced in already? I am often skeptical when people claim to predict the market, given how much can be made by quietly predicting correctly.

d4ng•about 11 hours ago

The current price reflects the discounted pricing of future events, the effects of those events, and the probabilities of those events. When certain events occur, and other previously predicted and priced in events become impossible, the market necessarily adjusts.

Doubt.

If I got a dollar every time someone says "STOCK MARKETS WILL COLLAPSE", I would have many dollars.

the question is when?

"I’m not saying it will happen today, tomorrow, in 12 months’ time."

So those are times when it won't happen I guess.

Not saying something will happen isn't the same as saying something won't happen.

pmg101•1 day ago

Correct. It was kind of a joke based on that.

Haha, that is a good one. So we sell in 11,9 months.

the answer is does not matter cause next double digit trillons will be printed right after it so market knows this, investment bankers fully understand this, public barely even know or understand it. They only know printer but don't fully understand. If they did, they would stop working for almost free

I'm wondering myself why anyone still keeps working. The only real and touchable things remaining are private jets, yachts, premium cars, and premium real estate.

kingleopold•1 day ago

yes those toys are good and still worth working for! but the rest? is almost equal to working free, cause inflation numbers are just a lie for so long

But when they will fall is too big to fit in the margin of this web page.
