不是说股指的底,而是经济危机的底。
现在银行能靠自己的力量圈到钱,无论这里面有多少猫腻,至少说明两点:第一,私人
手里还是有钱。第二,私人愿意投钱了。毕竟政府没有拿着枪逼着私人投资吧。
之后的经济走势,V不大可能,,也许是L,也许是U。之后的股市也依然会起起落落。
但去年那样,TLT直冲122的情况不大可能出现了。 |
K****D 发帖数: 30533 | 2 不是说股市提前经济6个月吗?
如果上述说法正确,那么:
目前的股市底是3月份,也就是说经济大约9月份前都会比现在差。

Nah, it's just the warm-up. The sh*t hasn't really started yet.
The coming collapse will be remembered as the double whammy of

lowering.

Their true earning power was not as strong as it seemed to be, and it has
decreased and will decrease tremendously in the future with the deleveraging

Fed's strategy is to keep them float and let them swallow the bad debts

K****D 发帖数: 30533 | 28 Well, I actually know a little about how banks make money:

2) Because of 1), the more they lend, the more they earn.
3) Unfortunately, right now total consumer debt level is at
historical low in a while.
4) From 2) and 3), banks don't earn much.

They can maneuver the market and scare frogs to hurry up to
buy or sell. But that's a short term trick. Once the frogs
realize that their investment yielded 0% during the last
year, they will either become smarter or be discouraged
to trade often -- because they don't really have new money
to put into the market. A sustainable high volume needs the

the best scenario. To break the downward spiral, they need deficit, huge
deficit. As of now, if they can't borrow from foreign investors, they borrow
from central bank (aka. print).

Of course US cant keep climbing their debt/gdp ratio, however there is no
second power house in the world which is close to challenge the dollar.

g*****g 发帖数: 34805 | 47 It's gonna take time to balance out. But as we are all seeing, China
is seeking alternative currency in regional trading, increasing domestic
demand etc. Unless US is forcing a war, it's inevitably harder to raise
capital in the long run.

Equity market is only the smallest trading business, they make money from
all kinds of investment. FX trading daily volume is close to 3 trillion a

the math.

They just win money from each other in the long run. You think retail

e****g 发帖数: 469 | 53 The current solution is hopeless: US is following exactly what Japan did
20 years ago (and they are still in recession after 20 years). What
happened right now is Gov bailed out those incompetent
banks/corporations/individuals by taxing those competent ones. As a
result, capital does not go to the strong hands, who can actually lead
us out of this mess.
Recession is not a bad thing in the sense that it can clean up excessed

s**********n 发帖数: 868 | 55 It's still under debate whether free market works best. But it seems to me
that the mainstream belief is that the government should stand out and take
aggresive deficit during a recession instead of sitting sidelines.
The government is bailing out the incompetent, not by taxing the competent
one, but by increasing its deficit. Hopefully it will tax everybody in the
future, but it will be a disaster doing it now.
IMO, the economy is not a simple evolution competition. The failing

You cant quantify the absolute amount. But you could measure the speed of
their flow.
I am not sure about this. Basically most part of redemption from hedge fund
will return to the same place in next couple of years especailly when they
see funds recover the lost much quicker than they thought.
As I said before, economy does matter. However you can't say US produce
nothing. Even they dont do the real manufacturing, they do sell their
products and services in one way or another.
