What is the exchange rate on cats and trampolines these days? ;P

Maybe a bear on a Trampoline would be a better image to describe the situation.


Trampoline Top is in!

Curious why you think so.  VTI is still $42 below its November '21 tippie top!  And SPY is down $75!  Panic!  Run for the hills!

You got me curious. It looks like SP 500 total return from September 2017 until September 2022 is ….

About 10% per year.

So, the last few years have been completely average.

Uh, average top is in?

6.1% adjusting for inflation:

0.9% below average top is in!

*after accounting for inflation.

DW: Don't worry honey, it will be down 4 percent tomorrow.

Even a non interested-in-finances person knows that the TOP IS IN!

No grooming required, I married her this way.
She married me to be the one interested in finances.
BTW the SP500 is down 3.5% today.

3.5 points down today. Not 3.5%.

What can this mean? Obviously, the top is in.

Clearly that means the S&P500 is going to fall until it hits 100points, at which point we can accurately state a 3.5 point drop is 3.5%.  Top is In!

Yep, I  SO wanted DW to be a soothsayer, on the level of THE Thorstasche, that I misread the tea leaves (MarketWatch.com).   -0.09%

This upcoming week is the top.  The Fed can't like the jobs data, and I imagine they will make that known on Dec 14 (they are in a quiet period until then).

CPI is released the day before 12/13.  If that is favorable, new top will be in.

On Friday the S&P 500 fell 1.7% on the jobs data - and then recovered to just -0.1%.  This market might talk itself into liking a bad CPI print.

I've also noticed the relentless optimism. People are actually talking themselves into going long the stock market because the Fed will be raising rates by ONLY 0.50% per meeting from now on until 7.9% PCE inflation equals 2%. They envision themselves buying the dip potentially months before the recession predicted by multiple yield curve inversion, the TIPS market, the National Financial Conditions Index, the size and speed of the rate hiking cycle, falling manufacturing indices, and falling consumer sentiment. In a normal world, wouldn't unmistakable recession signals and 0.5% rate hikes be scaring investors into treasuries?

Of course, optimism is always a sign of the top.

It's a good point. Those are the only ones where we can be confident that Top is In. Simply too much uncertainty in the others...

Anyone is free to sift through the thread and try to find counterpoints to it.
