DrStool Posted March 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 The rights of ownership are the right to control, the right to income, the right of exclusive use, the right to sell. What rights do you have as a stock owner. You have no control. You have no right to income, you certainly have no right of use. You have only the right to sell. Therefore the value of your ownership of a stock is what someone will pay you for it. It's no different from bitcoin. The idea that stocks have some other value is a figment of the collective imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 WAITING FOR THE YCC HIT Yes we are all waiting waiting waiting. But I think the FED is waiting for the ten year to go above a certain magic number before it starts. What is the magic number????? 2%??? Im sure many would like to know..... (note the FED has been doing soft YCC for quite some time now.....since 2008 with a nice ramp up of REPO in 2019). Yes Mr Market the hopeless debt junky is waiting for the FED dealer to roll out the really "Hard" Stuff. And when that happens its goodbye to the dollar. The soft YCC was just the gateway drug for Mr Market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrStool Posted March 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Normally QE infinity would be bearish for the USD, but central banks rarely go their own way. This will be coordinated with similar efforts by the ECB and BoJ to weaken their currencies. Also, if foreign holders of Treasuries become sellers on balance, they would tend to repatriate their cash, forcing their central bank to buy Treasuries. Would that cause the dollar to weaken further or strengthen against the euro and yen. If for example the Euro strengthens how would the ECB respond? I would have thought that the USD would have kept weakening given that the Fed is printing more than its cohorts. But then the ECB started jaboning (like jawboning but sounds funnier) the euro down and the dollar has rebounded in the past couple of months. Forecasting currencies is hard. Too many moving parts. Trade flows. Financial flows. Interest rate arb. Central bank and government manip. Tourism. Speculation. I stay away from it. If you're investing overseas, or if you're overseas and investing in the US, it's necessary, but ... tough. I don't see any reliable way to forecast beyond TA. I just hope that the EUR/USD stays in a reasonable band. I would love to see the USD back to 0.90 EUR range. Looks like it's getting ready to head that way. 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takachi-1 Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Martin Armstrong shows beginning stages of major cash flowing from Europe to the US due to the EU being further down the Great Reset agenda than the US. He sees the US not as a safe haven, but safer than almost anywhere else at least for a while. Negative interest rates, thanks to Draghi, have essentially destroyed their bond market. Armstrong is a major cycle guy, funny how great minds think alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
