The United States Stock Market is the global depository for the international quantitative easing that is being duplicated thought the major governmental economies has been confirmed as Ross Aldridge reviewed the following misconception about historical data being received in Las Vegas Nevada. After reviewing Jim Cramer's take on the upcoming correction we consider his hidden message that he can not explain the unjustified explosion of the current US stock market:
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Investors planning to celebrate the spate of new highs the market has hit recently may want to reconsider. We've gone longer without a 10% market correction than at almost any other point in the past six decades, and there are a couple of reasons to think that such a decline may finally be at hand. For one thing, stock values are at point from which they've headed down in the past. For another, the bull market appears to be driven up by fewer or less aggressive buyers as investors become less active in the equity market.
No less of an authority on investing than Warren Buffett has said on a number of occasions during the past 15 years that when stocks reach the levels they are at now, they are too expensive. He judges value by calculating the ratio of total market value to
gross national product (GNP), and the lower the ratio the better. A good time to buy stocks is at 80%, Buffett has stated, while he becomes cautious at 100%. The total market value-to-GNP ratio now stands at over 120%, more than 50% above Buffett's stated comfort level.Must Read: Warren Buffett's Top 10 Dividend Stocks
Nobel prize-winning economist Robert Shiller would likely have to be in the same boat. His highly respected Shiller price-to-earnings ratio stands today at 26, or 50% higher than its historical average. Nor is the standard 12-month forward price-to-earnings ratio bucking their views. It's at 17, higher than the historical average of 14 and more above than it was below -- at 12 -- after the last correction in 2011.
There may not be a gilded share price at which investors would rush to the exits at once, but there are signs that they'd rather have their money some place other than in stocks -- trends that have become more pronounced of late. Corporations are hoarding a record $2 trillion plus in cash. Investors are trading fewer stocks, with New York Stock Exchange trading volume plunging below two billion shares daily.
Conclusion: While we only consider stocks that have a minimal yield of 4%, managing partner, Ross Aldridge, concedes that 2015 will be a challenging year but the Santa Clause rally will carry this market to DOW 18,000. It is still a good bet to go long SKF.
