To me, Maserati came off as a guy who likes to listen to himself talk. He used a lot of words, but really didn't say much that was meaningful...at least to me.
He liked to make lots of predictions that were not always in agreement. Presumably he emptied his quiver in the hopes that he might get a bullseye so he could then claim he was right.
He really didn't bring much to this thread...certainly not as much as agip and Flagpole. Those two guys are worth listening to, imho.
all time highs for the dow - not the other indices
I'm getting more and more worried about this market's tendency to lose its bearings - it's like a shooting gallery - one by one asset classes are getting shot and flipping over. And it happens so fast -
gold
bonds last year
oil this year
europe this year
it's all these momentum traders selling at once - afterward it's easy to say that volatility is irrelevant if you hold or buy more, but say now.
Do you buy europe and oil? they are certainly on sale. But it would take some real courage to do so.
Maybe in 6 months we'll look back and say we were crazy not to be buying oil stocks and Italy, Portugal, Austria, Russia, etc...They were on sale back in december '14.
What's the over/under for DOW 18K?
You're obviously an idiot who throws around terms without understanding what they mean.
agip, la gente, and maserati were the only ones on this thread who knew ANYTHING

Hey Mas, good to see you back. No need to hide. We're all waiting to hear more of your pearls of wisdom (well, maybe Flagpole isn't that interested in the entertainment value of your posts).

Which terms are you referring to?
Also, thanks for the reminder. I should have included la gente along with agip and Flagpole as being the ones who have brought much positive conversation to this thread. Maserati? Not so much.
all time highs today for the sp500 and dow
here's what's killing me this year:
benchmarks for:
Global balanced portfolio: 5.7%
US only balanced portfolio: 10.4%

Crazy year...I'll take it.

Exactly. Things must be pretty good when there are complaints about a 5.7% return.
New intraday record above 17,970. Can you say DOW 18k?
us stocks now up an amazing 29.4% since k5's big call (vanguard total stock market index VTI) including dividends
only 1 year 3 months.
amazing what is going on in front of our eyes

Yep! Looks like Robert Shiller is going to be correct so far!
Expect some resistance around 18,000. Maybe a good time for day traders to sit on their hands.

Not only can he now say it, Maserati DID say it on October 30:
"Yes, I could now see the DJIA topping 18k by the end of the year"

I think he might be a key poster over on M*, there is a guy who sounds very similar. WHY he was posting here, I have no idea.

if you make enough predictions...some will come true

It's all about the US$. VT and VTI were trending together this year until $index began it's strong rise in July and August.

The FTSE Global Equity Index All-World Total Return YTD is 6.54% in US$ but 11.25% in Local Currencies.
http://www.ftse.com/products/indices/geis-series. Same for individual countries e.g. Japan is up 13.4% YTD in JYEN, yet down 1.83% US$. Macro outlook seems to favor more US$ strengthening
http://www.marctomarket.com/2014/12/king-dollar-not-just-driest-towel-on_6.html. For those who agree with that outlook and want to still access Non-US Markets Deutsche and WisdomTree offer $ hedged ETFs , however, some are new and trade infrequently; e.g. DBAW. PIMCO also has an International equity fund that is US$ hedged , but is also part of their AR series and as a Bond component to it. DO YOUR OWN DD.
Ben Carlson has a good post on this subject at
http://awealthofcommonsense.com/u-s-dollar-affects-portfolio/and references a Research Note by Jeremy Schwartz of WisdomTree , which I would recommend reading, even though he's promoting WT's products.
P.S. I am not Cassandra.
"It's all about the US$."
Yet another thing that Maserati said explicitly and in detail, and first, and that was subsequently supported by commenters from Bloomberg and elsewhere, which articles he linked and reproduced in this thread.
Do I really need to go back and link the pages from this thread? It's about time you flatliners gave this guy his due.

OK Mas. You da MAN!
Oh yeah, PIMCO... you know, the firm that has seen its founder so conveniently part ways just in time for the BRICS party. It's all about the US$!!! Party on, Wayne! Party on, Garth!
A lot of us are doing well in the short term. But what is your position going long?
