The Crash

It's no secret that something is going on in the market. This growth isn't sustainable and the DOW hasn't seen a proper adjustment. Considering that the housing bust almost completely flattened the U.S. and the world markets, it's safe to say this crash could be the final nail.

This next crash could yield a depression, in short. Of course, the U.S. and world markets will rebound at some point, but economic downturns that drastic usually result in geopolitics getting incredibly hot. The problem now is that there are many different countries hosting nuclear weapons whom have no need to use them. However, if they can't feed their people anymore or they need to bolster their nation's manufacturing through war... we could see very bad things happen.

My question is whether or not Sup Forums is ready for this? We're talking mass layoffs and obliteration of safety nets. You could eat out of the trash, but that's only if others around you can afford to waste the food in the first place. A bit of a sick luxury at the moment that might fade when the market comes down. My other question is how exactly Trump is going to fare. He's openly hostile towards allies and their policy at the moment. One could only imagine what would happen when his constituents are starving and frustrated. Would you expect an isolationist policy? Would you expect any economic insight from him given he has a history of corporate bankruptcy? Fortunately Trump has a cabinet and advisers that can crunch through the numbers and provide him with options. But those same advisers and cabinet members are the ones from wall street that can't properly predict bubbles and whom consistently push for policy to create an environment where bubbles can occur.

This shit is scary. I'm not one to go all /x/ or chicken little, but the signs are definitely on the wall in this case.

What are the signs that this will happen?

>He's openly hostile towards allies and their policy at the moment.
Stop watching CNN.

What crash would it be? I don't see it being a housing collapse (no $0 down teaser rate loans) or a tech bubble (many tech companies make profits). A crash in crypto isn't big enough to tank the system and there's no indication of some major political event fucking shit up. I'm open to the idea that there will be a crash, since the stock rally has been insane, but I don't see how it would crash.

>Stop watching TV.
*ftfy

Bring it *cheerleading gif*

>I don't see it being a housing collapse (no $0 down teaser rate loans)

You're talking about adjustable loans, previously called NINJA loans back in the day. They're still happening, currently referred to as alternative income verification loans.

>tech bubble (many tech companies make profits)

I don't have a comment on this. Especially with the paradise papers showing liquidity on offshore accounts of big tech companies like Apple.

>What crash would it be?

I'd like to know. It's not like I could afford to put me in a position to gain from it, but it'd be a lot better knowing what industries wouldn't be too badly effected by it.

>This next crash could yield a depression, in short.
It could. Or it could be mild. You have no fucking clue what it's going to do or when.
Eternal growth is not sustainable but that doesn't mean that growth is impossible; big growth does not necessarily have to be followed by a gigantic crash that wipes it all away.

Creation of a central bank means the whole system will crash one day. It is inevitable.

NESERA is upon us.

>big growth does not necessarily have to be followed by a gigantic crash that wipes it all away

Current growth rate from the housing bust till now is 320% more than the growth rate from the tech boom to the housing bust. Not the growth value, the growth RATE. If that isn't a red flag for you then I don't know what would be.

Huh. Never heard of NESERA before. Sounds pretty misguided. Advocating for any ideal inflation rate is going to result in a crash.

Don't worry
We have the degeneracy of the wymar republic now
With a crash and hyperinflation we will have the rest of the ingredients for the rise of the next Hitler

>Harvey Francis Barnard, a Louisiana graduate in systems philosophy, and an engineering consultant and teacher, created the NESARA proposal during the late 1980s and early 1990s. He printed 1000 copies of his proposal, titled Draining the Swamp: Monetary and Fiscal Policy Reform (1996)

Yes, a crash is overdue. The question is, what is the bubble? Bubbles are by definition where value is due to artificial not real demand, i.e. demand creates demand.

I wonder if it might have to do with the relative shrinkage of the total stock market capitilization.

and/or the absurd growth of ETFs.

and/or algorithmic trading.

and/or the flight of capital from Asia and Russia seeking refuge in the West.

We need a good stiff Flash Crash to wake these retards up.

>mfw people see "$5 trillion added to the market!" as a good thing, and not a sign of what is to come

>My question is whether or not Sup Forums is ready for this? We're talking mass layoffs and obliteration of safety nets.
This has been daily life in Finland after 2008 crash which from Finland has not recovered properly even today thanks to EU's anti-Russian trade restrictions and fall of Nokia. Next crash will turn Finland into Weimar Republic which will benefit the rise of extreme groups.

Do you not see something wrong with these two groupings? How exactly is the government going to do the latter given the former? More importantly, how are they going to have the money.

the clue that everyone missed in the last bubble crash was the skyrocketing debt load of the homebuyers and stagnant wages.

If a skyrocketing debt source could be identified that would be a big fat clue.

I saw drain the swamp. Meh. It sounds like a delusional technocracy that uses a national sales tax to justify acceptance by the populace.

Watch the hidden secrets of money by Mike Maloney(episodes 4,6 and 7). Its the best explanation out there.

who else /shorting/ the market here??

The credit debt will cause insolvency and spread to other sectors. Invest in hard assets companies

Student and auto loans?

The plan is to use stable US Treasury money (which is debt-free) instead of Federal Reserve money (which must be paid back with interest). The later causes credit contractions and price implosions during crashes.

Trump should just have the Treasury print United States Notes to pay for his infrastructure plan.

>United States Notes were issued directly by the US Treasury to pay for stuff.
>United States Notes were dollars that circulated along side Federal Reserve Notes.
>United States Notes exchanged 1-for-1 with Federal Reserve Notes by law.
>Federal Reserve Notes are issued by a private corporation: The Federal Reserve.
>The Federal Reserve lends Federal Reserve Notes to the Treasury/US Government.
>The Treasury/US Gov must pay back Federal Reserve Notes with interest to the private bankers/Fed.
>Borrowing Federal Reserve Notes creates enormous debts for the Treasury/US Government.
>Printing/spending United States Notes creates NO debt for the Treasury/US Government.

Those two a big part of the reason why the net US debt hit $103 trillion a month or two ago.
I advocate for enacting an altered version of NESARA, one that doesn't have any state handouts.

...

>It's no secret that something is going on in the market.

It's called effective 0% interest rates. All boom and bust cycles are a pure function of money supply. When (((Federal Reserve))) contracts money supply things will get pretty shaky, until then they can keep inflationary (((growth))) going virtually indefinitely.

i dont know but I think thats where Trump got DTS from and I also think thats why Trump has been meeting world leaders all year. Getting their support and telling them what's up. Trump got INVITED to the forbidden kingdom in china. Never happened before.

Public-Sector Pensions are a guaranteed depression.
But that may not happen for another 5-10 years. But it's guaranteed unless a literal genocide of baby boomers worldwide occurs.

Art is a funny thing. I saw a painting go for more the other day than for a 10% substantial stake for in Madison square garden. Yet I bet one really good concert would have more artistic value than the life of that shitty painting. Seeing as it would fill a stadium but the painting would never.

My pet theory is that they're waiting to collapse everything until they feel the time is right. Then they can introduce us to GLORIOUS COMMUNISM to """save""" us all. And by save, I mean enslave and strip away all democratic rule and basic rights. And yeah, the markets/banks are fucked beyond belief.

pensions and bonds my man

>charts like that are meaningless without normalization to some index like GDP

You can normalize GDP and DOW with respect to inflation, but I'm not so sure you can normalize DOW to GDP. If you can, I'd sure like to know how.

>and/or algorithmic trading

HFT is fucking insane. But the sessions are short, because that system relies on ques. So the "damage" a script does is pretty isolated to however long it's running, which isn't actually that long.

On the bright side of this. If the entire world sees a crash, then the EU is going to want to bolster trade with whoever they can to get them out of the rut.

I mean, you know... the economy would still collapse.

Okay little buddy, thanks for your input.

The number of common stocks traded on major U.S. exchanges are the fewest in three decades.

"Currently, there are just 3,267 stocks in the University of Chicago's CRSP data, and this is the lowest since 1984," wrote DeSanctis.

couple shrinkage of total market with rampant corporate stock buy backs, wouldnt that create a P/E bubble?

healthcare costs will consume the entire federal budget in about 8 or 9 years. it will obviously not last that long.

You've got to have deep pockets. QE can last longer than you.

>China

When Trump returned from that trip he made a speech in which he said Israel was our greatest ally and the US would never turn their back on them. No idea what Israel had to do with a trip to East Asia but he brought them into it. Clearly Trump has no plan to distrupt the global financial (((banking system))), that's just wishful thinking on your part.

The market is so inflated a crash is going to be like a 6 mile wide asteroid hitting the planet.

student debt loans among the big causes this time around for me

Honestly, it will probably just keep going up since there's no fixed amount of fiat currency and it becomes worth less every day.

And when the markets unhealthy... What happens... That's what OPs getting at. The P/E ratio spike is the big red flag of market inflation. Lots of money but nowhere to put it, basically. Earnings are doing better under Trump so who knows what's really going to happen.

ridiculous art auction prices are a good bubble metric since it shows how much excess wealth is being generated, since you get to see the extreme wealthy competing with each other, and the degree to which they boost prices for useless status symbols shows what they are seeing in their accounts

this. everybody read this post.

>many tech companies make profits
some do, but it's meaningless if stocks are trading 200+ times their earnings.

This. Americans should be proud. You guys can print as much as you want and when a country decides they don't wanna use us dollars because they are mass printers you Americans with your mighty war machine crush them

You don't know what you're talking about, you know that right? The liquidity in any exchange traded stock that's found in sp500 (which is what algos will trade) is enormous. All algos now have vol controls input. Look up VWAP control. It's so the art of selling a huge position doesn't actually move the market. Most ETFs have vol controls these days too. Any bank proprietary index at least will solve for vol controls ( i.e. MSUS MAP2)

Also, normalization in the context of finance is just a ratio. The typical Dow to USD gdp graph you'll find on any Bloomberg terminal is simply a ratio between the two.

Please educate yourself before spreading misinfo.

t. I work on wall street

Ok I'll tell you whats up with the crash. We are currently in 1987. We were in 1929, but Trump might have gotten us out of it. Essentially the bond market is somewhat failing. If IR rates most go positive there is doubts that US would be about to handle that debt w/o massive inflation.

The deal with Saudi Arabia about Aramco being on the NYSE essentially just solidified the Petrodollar we were losing control of. This will ease worries about bonds due the dollar being back by oil again. Not to mention flood the US markets with capital with everyone from everywhere trying to get a piece of the pie. As long capital keeps flowing in the market will grow. I can see a 30k-40k in under a year. Once the money stops flowing, then the crash will occur, but our currency will still have value.

but are student loans being leveraged and securitized like mortgages in 2008?

Crash the absolute fuck out of it.

That graph must be outdated. Germany spends less than Botswana and surprise surprise they can now afford to send citizens to college for free.

The US would keep it's citizens retarded and continue to add retarded immigrants who worry more about hand outs, than the future when voting.

The "newly discovered" Leonardo painting just sold for $450 million. Many experts doubt it is a Leonardo. $450 million of stupid money spent on a painting that sold for 60 GBP seventy years ago.

They'll fucking blow his head off just like they did JFK if he tries this.

I doubt he has a death wish.

so where is the big bubble these days?

what about total stock market capitalization shrinkage and stock buybacks inflating stock prices?

How big are the algo traders relative to all trading? Was the flash crash ever explained?

Hey can you tell me if I am correct on this?

Sup Forums and /new/ before it has been talking up a crash for nearly 10 years now. Ironically enough, one is probably due sooner rather than later.

multpl.com/shiller-pe/

The attached graph is the Shiller P/E ratio.

>Look at the yearly earning of the S&P 500 for each of the past ten years.
>Adjust these earnings for inflation, using the CPI (ie: quote each earnings figure in 2017 dollars)
>Average these values (ie: add them up and divide by ten), giving us e10.
>Then take the current Price of the S&P 500 and divide by e10.

Basically the money that is slushing around in stocks right now is now at pre-crash 1929 levels. What we have to ask ourselves is whether it is going to get to year 2000 levels before it crashes.

>Once the money stops flowing, then the crash will occur.
Or there will be a black swan.

If I knew the bubble I wouldn't be posting on Sup Forums, I'd be turning my 6 figure starting salary into 8.

Stock buybacks don't inflate stock prices. They literally increase the companies net worth. Assets equals liabilities plus shareholders networth. Run that thought experiment with increasing share buybacks and you'll understand.

Algo trading accounts for a majority of all daily traded volume. Read the book flash boys if you want to know more. Look up VWAP trading like I said before and you'll understand why algo trading isn't bad but actually good.

>but are student loans being leveraged and securitized like mortgages in 2008?
Yes.

"Student Loan Asset-Backed Securities, or SLABS, are a way for investors to start putting their money into the student debt marketplace."

My whole argument is the US Dollars stay stable due to an oil backing ensuring demand.

>art is a bubble
>fucking art
nigger what?

that's how you get JFK'd

Could you elaborate on this? If a company is actually profiting and growing, doesn't that mean it's just a high growth sector of the economy and the trading is justified? I'm new to trying to figure out the economy, but I have a feeling tech is where a bubble would happen. The companies are very highly valued, but they won't crash if they keep making a profit. The problem with the Dot Com burst was that nobody was actually making money and thus the valuation was meaningless.

What stocks should I buy when they crash?

that looks like a relevant graph for sure

Well that’s the thing, it’s hard to know before it happens. After it happens it will seem obvious in hindsight.
