11+% annualized for the decade sounds real good. Thanks for the positive news.

Counting the last 10 years through 2018 the S & P 500 has returned a real return (inflation-adjusted )of about 13% annually. I believe in 2019 it has returned about 29% so that would make the 10-year average much, much higher. Meanwhile, CDs have an average real return over that last 10 years way below ZERO. Yes, negative real rates of return. Who would want an investment that has done so poorly?

Just the usual. Have you ever seen one of his charts over the past 5 years that correlates with what the market has done?
Maybe a couple, and that's only because he was interpreting it wrong.

I stopped reading after the first paragraph where the author said the Fed prints money. If he is that clueless, I’m not wasting my time reading whatever he has to say.
Trying to predict future trade price of stocks like Microsoft and Apple by technical analysis is beyond stupid. These stocks break all the rules. That's kind of obvious, isn't it? If you can't figure out as much, you probably shouldn't be using real money.
But hey, Zerohedge has just given up and now posts cartoon images.
Ok!

No, you are too stupid to understand that in affect is what they do. What happens to monetary supply when the Fed moves $60 Billion in bonds from the market on to their balance sheet? Pull out a dollar bill and read the top line on face side.

Affect is usually a verb, and it means to impact or change.

There is already a verb in that sentence.
So what, you lose Irony Mann.

“The Nifty Fifty appeared to rise up from the ocean; it was as though all of the U.S. but Nebraska had sunk into the sea. The two-tier market really consisted of one tier and a lot of rubble down below. What held the Nifty Fifty up? The same thing that held up tulip-bulb prices long ago in Holland – popular delusions and the madness of crowds. The delusion was that these companies were so good that it didn’t matter what you paid for them; their inexorable growth would bail you out.”
