Down goes the Dow

This thread is way past its "sell by" date, it's devolved into complete garbage.

It was great while Igy was banned. Now, not so much.

Seattle is exposed as a liar and you reflexively go after Iggy?

This chart is worse than the Zero Hedge chart of NASDAQ 100 that GoI posted . The author is either ignorant ; or hopes you are . I would go with the latter . One side is nominal gross , the other is inflation adjusted per capita .

A better view :

Delinquencies are surging !

I'm not denying there are many in this country who are in dire straits , but the motivation of people who post this crap isn't about the alleviation of this problem .

My post was clearly a response to someone other than you. It had nothing to do with Seattle.

Narcissistic

The only person that was banned is the one constantly playing immature games.

All Iggy, all the time with you.

How many names do you post under? What are they? I hope this is all one guy and there are not several bungholes making these posts

I can’t imagine too many people would go to that length of harassment. As if there is anything to gain. Why because that person has a sanguine view of the market? It is not as if anything I have posted is not routinely discussed every day in market commentary. Obviously this person has a deep seated hate for me which I really have no understanding why.

I agree. Probably all the same guy.

There’s definitely more than one person here who doesn’t like Igy.

What “harassment “?

I posted the comment regarding Netflix on 8/1/18. The high for that day was $344. On 5/29 the stock traded as low as $346. That's 9 weeks and a day to within a half percent of the $344.

Are you really this big of a jerk in real life or have you saved it up just for us?

Oh, snap!

Earnings Scorecard: For Q2 2018 (with 81% of the companies in the S&P 500 reporting actual results for the quarter), 80% of S&P 500 companies have reported a positive EPS surprise and 74% have reported a positive sales surprise. If 80% is the final number, it will mark the highest percentage since FactSet began tracking this metric in Q3 2008.

Earnie(ings):

“It’s not a cause for concern yet. A lot will be priced in over the coming weeks, although it does kind of suggest that investors aren’t willing to reward large-cap equities” following strong results, said Martin Jarzebowski, portfolio manager at Federated Investors.

“The first two quarters of the year set a really high bar that will be hard for the third and fourth quarters of the year to follow through on, and that could represent a focal point for the market. Trade and strength in the U.S. dollar remain two international headwinds that could really dictate where profits go from here.”
