Don’t Fight the Global Fed

Nice read by: Joshua M

 

Why did the markets begin to go up in 2012 and never come down? Why was 2013 one of the best years for stocks on record?

Investors re-learned the lesson of not only not fighting the Fed, but also not fighting the Global Fed. That’s right, we’re all connected now.

In September 2012, the Bank of Japan launched its eight quantitative easing plan, bringing total asset purchases to 80 trillion yen. The ECB handed out another 529.5 billion euros, taking their bank lending program to north of 1 trillion euros. Also in September, the US Federal Reserve announced QE3, adding to the $2.3 trillion in liquidity they had already pumped in ad committing to another $40 billion in fresh cash per month indefinitely. In July of that year, the UK added another 50 billion pounds to their 375 billion pound asset purchase plan. There were also a total of 33 rate cuts around the world in addition to all of this asset purchasing.

 

In hindsight, buying stocks seems like the obvious reaction to all of this stimulus coming from everywhere at once, does it not? Why was it so hard to do at the time for so many?

Three years ago I started thinking about the tsunami the Fed was sending toward the stock market. In October 2010, I talked about how “the more agile among us may want to start paddling their surfboards in front of the right wave now.” It took a year from there before the wave could be spotted offshore in the form of QE2, but ever since then…

The lesson here is one you’ve already heard before – don’t fight the Fed and especially don’t fight every Fed around the world when they begin to ease all at once.

If the entities in control of trillions of dollars all want asset prices to be higher at the same time, what the hell else should you be positioning for?

It’s complicated, but it’s not always so complicated.

I know, I know, this will end badly. Someday.

Yip Yellen was so dovish she made Ben look like a hawk...markets melting up now...getting crazy and very dangerous. If you made money this year and feel rich, I advise you to bank some profits before you rush out to spend the cash.

I'm afraid i can't put my money in any bank. It will just be worthless by the time i take it out. All the savers have been suckeered by the banks. Saving money is the worst advise i have heard in my life. The poor save money, the rich make it work.

 

I need to make my money work

Weather i buy stocks,bonds,gold,silver,oil,real estate,grains etc. it just needs to be working.

Money sitting in the bank is eroding

The bull trend has only just started.

A new era about to start.

 

World Central Bankers seem to think that stock market prices are not in a bubble.

 

FED: Grandma Yellen confirmed this yesterday. She basically said that she wont be held hostage by the stock market. QE will continue.

ECB: Draghi confrimed this by lowering interest rates. (We will do whatever it takes)

BOJ: Japan Abe is busy on his printing machine.

BOJ: Today Japan finace misnister Amari said stock prices resemble the real economy

BOE: Mark Carney will leave interest rates low till 2016 or forever.

 

We just have to much money being printed that our stocks wont be short of funds.

 

All the printing is causing South Africa to raising inflation, we are importing inflation.

I advise all of you to open a dollar trading account. Take advantage of Rand strenght now before it's to late.

Chart from 1955 till now.

 

We have reached the 1985 era, we are starting another bull trend. All the central bankers comments are sounding dovish.

 

Like Laszlo Birinyi said: This bull market will be one of the longest because it is the only one which had the best starting quarter of any bull market in history.

It pays to follow market historians, instead of stupid economists who have been waiting for a crash since 2009.

I have made more money from October than any other time in my life.

Grandma Yellen is a true Dove.

 

 

Closed my long on S&P and Nasdaq trade.

US market hitting record highs across the board.

Its becoming crazy now.

 

Dow wants to Gun for 16 000, maybe tomorrow.

The Nikkei has reached new highs

 

The Rand is gaining strenght. I think money will move back to EM Markets soon.

 

The Chinese market will give ALSI direction when it opens

Today the S&P and Dow will hit 1800 and 16 000

The sky is the limit for Top40

 

Those who lock and loaded their longs yesterdday will reap the rewards today.

 

Life is good

 

Grandma Yellen is here to stay

 

My IG platfrom is full of green (Profits) i dont know which one to close 1st. I'm like a baby in a candy shop

 

It pays to Buy the Dip :P  :P :P  :P  :P
