I’m not the one who keeps bringing it up. But whenever you do, I ask for an explanation which has never been offered. So the conclusion can only be that you made this up to get attention. And you think I have issues?

I’m not fabricating anything. Quite the opposite in fact. I’m looking for corroboration demonstrating that this was not fabricated by Igy.
Look, we know Igy’s identity because he has shared that on letsrun. And any references to his employer could only happen because he has also shared that information. So he’s obviously ok with that information being public. Now if you, or anyone else, has examples of posters using that information inappropriately, then Igy would certainly have a beef.
Meanwhile poster Sally V is being called out because she has a popular name which she happens to share with Igy’s wife. And somehow Igy thinks his son has been worked into this, but he won’t say how.
I didn't know I was being called out. I only visit this site on occasion because the market keeps going up, and Igy and another poster will engage in insults, and Igy will mention the year 2000 or 2008 and ignore the fact that the market has been the best investment over the last 130 years - bar NONE - and Igy will ignore that fact and resume insults. It is a terrible thread but sometimes people will stop to watch an auto accident.

Your the guy who exploits and creates the turmoil. You know full well my wife’s name is not Sally.
You are such a weirdo. I would do something more extreme if I actually believed you would do some physical harm to me and my family.

How would I know what your wife’s name is? You’ve lost it, my friend.
You are not my friend. Why don’t you just bag the games?

I’m not the one playing games by making accusations that have no basis in fact. I know what you are trying to do, but you won’t get away with it.
Including today, my b&h is cruising along at 20-21% annually.
Insane? You bet. Great? Absolutely!
What a day.

No reason for it to not carry on for at least another couple of months. I'm thinking we'll start to see inflation pick up in the spring and then of course the dreaded raising of the interest rate by the Fed. TBD though
And the stock pumper in-chief:

Scoreboard, Igy.
There is no magic P/E that is acceptable. Heck, nobody even cares. That ship sailed long ago.
Will it return? It hasn’t in RE, which still has a boatload of bad and overvalued assets in its market. It hasn’t with my art, which is a collector/investor phenomenon.
P/E’s can catch up. The important thing right now is to pump this sucker until Drumpf is back in office—then who knows what will happen.
Just like they set the level of taxes, so they set the level of markets. Both are equally arbitrary, the product of fiat decree. To argue the policy is one thing, but in the meantime you pay those taxes.
Until policy changes for the worse, not being in the markets is like protesting taxes by not paying them: it comes at a high price.
Evidently that is true for now....as I posted earlier in the week, even Apple has suspect valuation...

Wait, are people still complaining about that? I thought all that was debunked back in September when the Fed started it in the first place. Let me guess though, Zerohedge is calling it "QE4" ? lol

Nicely said! This market is going straight up until November although I'd keep an eye out for wage growth data coming in hot. I'm starting to see anecdotes of people getting paid six figures to manage McDonald's and things like that because talent is so scare.
The Federal Reserve's balance sheet has expanded and contracted over time. During the 2007-08 financial crisis andsubsequent recession, total assets increased significantly from $870 billion in August 2007 to $4.5 trillion in early 2015.Then, reflecting the FOMC's balance sheet normalization program that took place between October 2017 and August2019, total assets declined to under $3.8 trillion. Beginning in September 2019, total assets started to increase ($4.173 trillion on 1/1/2020).
Debunked, ha, ha, ha.....

You do know how the Fed lowers it's overnight benchmark rate, correct?
Hint : buying T-notes on the open market.
Double hint : that increases assets on the balance sheet.

Do you know what that does to liquidity to the markets? Hint: speculation. Same as 1999.
