Global Markets in Review: Reversal in Financial Markets

OK, just tell us the titles of the books you read on the subject. Keep handing the bill for the resources you use to your kids. And try sleeping at night.

Global Markets in Review: Reversal in Financial Markets

Sorry Joe,, some of us like to pay our bills- not hand them to our kids. I suggest you try reading some books on climate change at which point you will understand it is real. The price of carbon fuels are kept artifically low by government policies that fail to recognize the real costs to society.

Right, and once government policies properly reflect the true costs of using carbon fuels, environmental damage, smog, fallouot of metals into our waterways, and much more, green fuels will suddenly be competitive. I don't believe in handing the bill for what I use to my kids, you know, the conservative way. Give us cheap gasoline now and force our kids pay the true cost of that usage when they inherit a damaged world.

LT PE ratios may be around 16 (according to your article), but is that really the point that this market should assume, with jobs continuing to disappear, and with consumer credit continuing to evaporate.

Global Markets in Review: Risky Assets Disconnect from Fundamentals

"It is still early days in this period, but 85% of U.S. companies have so far beaten earnings estimates. According to Bespoke, the current beat rate is well above any other quarter since at least 1998."

Gee, did Bespoke explain why we have these tremendous beats? Job cuts that will not be replicated infinitely into the future. What about revenue losses at all of these firms? What about unemployment continuing upward, and consumer credit continuing downward?

This article has too much information. I don't care for this style of writing. I would rather have something more focused. Give us what others are saying, in brief, and then give us your opinion, disagree or agree, and why.
