Our economy is the envy of the world.
Yup... the whole world wants a national debt in excess of 100% to GDP and climbing ..85t a month, with absolutely no sign of slowing.
Wait until interest and inflation come off near flat line positions. Then the fun REALLY begins. I noticed the other day, a commercial was showing a happy couple buying their new home. The American Dream! ....with an APR mortgage. (face palm). My wife and I said, almost in unison..'poor bastards... '. No one learned a thing. It's record low rates but the kick into the street with a foreclosure comes when inflation starts acting within the laws of basic economics again.
That should be when the points really start counting ...pun intended.

The Dow is NOT an economic indicator. The reason the Dow is doing "so well" is because corporations are buying back their own stock, and the value of the Dow is GROSSLY overvalued. A crash the likes of which we have never seen is coming. Believe the hype if you want to.
Read that article why the Dow is doing so well.
The U.S.Economy is growing at around 2.5%.
Jobs are being created.
Now is not the time for Doom & Gloom.
The market is doing so well because the federal reserve is pumping 85 billion dollars of printed money into it monthly.
The participation rate for jobs is at 1979 levels! That’s not a growing economy. These data points provided by the government are so manipulated, its not even funny.
Argentina stock market rose 75% this year. They must be doing a fantastic job!!!! NOT, its called inflation and that’s what id does, inflates stock prices as well as all commoditiesedit on 3-5-2013 by camaro68ss because: (no reason given)
Keep going. US Economy GDP jumped over $16 Trillion.
Our economy is the envy of the world.
We have a Natural Gas BOOM in the USA Economy. Fracking is on the move.
Keystone Pipeline is on the way.
Im sorry, im going to call you out, your talking points are so on, someone must be paying you to post this mindless garbage.
Some points being true as they may, are only because the market is being heavily manipulated by the central banks and federal reserve. The proof is all around us and is even admitted openly to the public. You have to be deaf dumb and blind to believe this garbage.
So, there really is no Keystone Pipeline? Hmmm.....
Are Natural Gas prices high or low?
The real estate market booming again? True or False?

I agree entirely ... then they see our Debt even higher with compounding interest to keep it building, no matter what the deficit is each year and likely amend that to "WOW! ....they're screwed!' lol.....

Natural Gas power plants are replacing coal fired power plants.
They burn cleaner and operate at higher profit margins due to the low cost of
natural gas. Wall Street loves high profit margins.
Look at Apple.

G7 central banks printing in excess of $150B per month and openly buying foreign equities. So, it's inflating on printed money.
Participation in equity markets is narrowing rapidly as most people are waking up to the fact that it's a rigged casino that can go to zero overnight. Institutions and sovereigns are the main participants. Trying to keep the status quo alive.
If you are going to ride the inflation of equity markets just buy index funds. The music will end though, and I promise the little guys will get reamed. In the next round of bank failures they will be seizing 401k's and giving you bank common stock and US treasuries with a negative interest rate in return. They could also choose to re-value the dollar overnight. The only protection you have from that is real estate or physical precious metal in your possession.
rant over.

The U.S. Stock Market is higher for many reasons. I have listed a few.
The main reason America is unstoppable is because we have a financially
strong middle class. Free Market Capitalism works.

Funny thing is that people were saying something very similar in 07', and we all know how 08' went. In 2007 the DOW was at record breaking highs and all was good and right with the US economy nothing could get in it's way, that is until 08' rolled around and there was nothing right or good with the economy. In just 6 short months decades of peoples savings and retirement funds in the form of 401k's were wiped out almost completely.
Keep cheering it on, because this cycle is doomed to repeat itself, just look at the historical chart for the DOW and you will see what is coming.
