AKIQPilot Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Interesting. Things are continuing to cool. The next 6 months could get fairly crazy. The only thing stopping a big correction is a trade deal with China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anler Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Stock market is a shell game right now. China only has $1.1 trillion in US paper because the dumped $3trillion a few years back. So did Russia. Probably a really good reason we are all hell bent on stealing the oil in Iran and Venezuela and regime change in Syria. They need the petro dollars. I have also been following bitcoin (my kid does actually) and it has been moving up. They are predicting it to explode in the next year possibly over $100k. With the US dollar teetering on a razor blade that makes sense now. Cryptos are lining up to make the US dollar obsolete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecat Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 What I said would happen. China has pulled way back in investing in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The company that I was working for would buy back stock with free cash on hand (not borrowed money) as they feel the company is worth more than the stock value. It does not increase the stock price or reduce the total number of shares. It is a financial decision that it adds more value to the company with that strategy, rather than using the extra free cash to pay down debt.

Just US debt, they have been very active in buying up US companies. Also concerning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But corporate debt is pretty jacked right now and there’s lots of buybacks occurring. CEO’s always get some nice bonuses when buybacks occur.

If your waiting for a sure bet, you won't find it. Bitcoin was great when the only ones touching it were investors with balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
