Well, it's finally happening /pol/

US 10 yr Treasury bonds yields the lowest ever, and German bonds yields declines below zero for the first time in history on the back of slow global growth and the possible Brexit.

Prepare your anus for the bubble to burst, lads.

There is no sign of interest rates ever going up. However, what governments should have been working on is about a 5% inflation rate. 2 is too low for normal economic development. 5 % isn't unhealthy for an economy. Trouble is, if we have to inflate out of this economic stagnation, we could have runaway inflation, which will lead inevitably lead to higher interest rates.

Low treasury yields are not indicative of a bubble about to burst as a general rule of thumb. As a bubble bursts, you will see them fall as people gt out of riskier investments and get into the safe investments (UST) thereby increasing demand (and lowering yields). That said, we are probably 6 months - 2 years out from another recession. Last time it was mortgages, this time it will be subprime auto loans. I would say student loans are at risk, but because they are federally backed there will be no violent burst.

Japan is always a weird case. So, they've been in deflation since the 90s when they tried a QE program which had catastrophic results. Because deflation prioritizes saving (an object will have a lower price tomorrow than today as opposed to usual where the opposite is true), you have less spending (spending of course being the exact thing that would pull you out of deflation).

It isn't. No real investor would accept losing money to inflation. This is central bank manipulation to the extreme to lower yields and making it easier on governments to reissue debt. The yield should be much higher to match the risk.
>>
>>77323227
I meant that many of them are federally backed (ie. the government pays them if the student can't, but the student then owes the government), so it's as if you lent the amount of money to the government. Basically, there is no risk for the lender, they get paid by either you or the government. If you default on them the government pays them, so there is no issue like there was with mortgages.

There are some loans that are not federally backed, but the fact that they are enforced (as you mentioned) means that you can't default on them (or you can, but you can't discharge the debt or anything) and if you decide not to pay, they garnish your wages, making them considerably safer than something like mortgages.

I don't think that's actually true. I think that because illegals don't have social security numbers, they aren't eligible for welfare and such, but they do pay taxes (they use a tax identification number or something like that, they don't need a ss#). I mean, we do have plenty of them in our jails, so there's money going towards them. That said, I am really against illegal immigration (and also against accepting refugees, frankly, it's just not our problem and we don't owe them shit).

I began purchasing gold at $1300, right around January 2014. Only bought 1 oz. Since then I have invested my savings in gold twice, once every January 2nd.

2016 I bought 10 oz at $1060/oz.

Eight years of King Nig and we've only recovered from 2008 on paper.

Europe is even worse off than us and the Brexit will tip the dominoes that end the EU (good riddance, but painful in the short-term). Japan is as stagnant as they've been for the last twenty years. The Chinese are looking over the edge of their own cliff and trying to convince themselves gravity doesn't exist. Russia is suffering from our sanctions and oil boom, the Middle East is collapsing in slow motion.

That wasn't his point either.

The US Government under the Bush Administration had a vision of housing low income families / creating a housing bubble to stimulate the economy. Either one depending on who you trust, Bush or Krugman.

Through government-sponsored mortgage enterprise (Freddie mac and Fannie Mae), the government enabled banks to give subprime mortgage loans to low-income families. The problem is that once they stopped financing the loans, and the US still had an excess inventory of houses, the real estate market fell, and the low-income families could not refinance their loans, and had no possible way of paying it back.

Because this massive private debt was sold to banks as securities around the world, the real estate bubble hit the global very hard.
>>
>>77329750
Maybe I was too bold.

Before a recession it is impossible to predict what will cause it. You can guess but you are no more likely to be correct than anyone else. They seem to be different every time (oil shock in the 70s, fed induced in the 80s, tech bubble early 00s, mortgage burst of 2008)

Now, government debt is usually viewed as the safest and most secure thing in an economy. If you look at a graph of US Bond prices, they barely flinch during a recession or stock market correction. If US, Canadian, Swedish etc. government debt is no longer secure, I think the world is in a nuclear holocaust or something and recession is the least of our worry.

That being said debt can be a long term problem for growth and ability of an economy to function healthily and operate, maybe not to cause a recession tho per se.

Totally meaningless statement. Commodities in particular are unpredictable, and this includes gold. When looking at potential investments, you want to predict what kind of return you can expect. With gold this is highly variable in relation to other securities.

>>77329051
So, I don't have access to insider information (just a disclosure), but it is my opinion that a recession is coming soon. I've said 6-24 months, but I think it'll be on the shorter end of that range. Therefore I'd suggest a move to a more bond-heavy (particularly UST) portfolio. I think a recession is coming for the following reasons: the economy is cyclical and recessions usually happen every 4-6 years (we're close to 8 years now), world factors (economies in China, Japan, and several European countries are slowed a bit and the European Union might be in some shit with the UK setting a trend of leaving), and the seemingly exponential rise in subprime auto loans being given out. I think that subprime autos will be the bubble that'll hurt us. I'd recommend investing predominantly in UST, because they may give you a relatively low return, but 1) you'll benefit from the "flight to quality" as investors rush to the UST as it's a safe investment, and 2) you won't lose out like you might with equities.

So, I'm not a trader, so I follow the market less than I did in college when I worked for a fixed income fund, but I do keep up with it some. Best of luck.

>>77329263
Not really, the government loaned the finance and auto industries money, which they then paid back.

>>77329313
The government fiddling argument is true to a degree. I would say the government creating an environment where lenders would be more likely to lend to subprime borrowers was 1/3 causes for 2008. However, we aren't falling from any greater height.

No? The point of gold is that it historically retains its value. Yes it may vary relative to the dollar, but in the grand scheme of things, if you go back through the decades, and see how much you can get for 1 oz of gold, it's practically constant.

No it does not, we do not use a gold standard anymore, unless you are perma bullish on gold and got nerves of steel and are willing to wait while you want your investment go 30-50% in the red, then its fine, but most peope dont have the nerve for ot

Another thing that just occured to me is:

This seems incredibly self-fulfilling.

Everyone in economics seems to feel like a recession is coming. So what do they do? Start pulling out there money. And then the market crashes just like everyone thought. Even though the fundamentals of the economy haven't changed.

>Before a recession it is impossible to predict what will cause it.
The whole system is unsound and it just needs a trigger to set things in motion. It doesn't really matter what it is.

>At what price if you don't me asking?
low 2014. I can take the same coins and sell them back to the same dealer and even when you take premiums etc into account i still get more sek back then what i paid.

But i going to wait some more.

But in fact, most investors dont, they buy high and sell low, so they see a rally lets say this week ans think its gonna go on for months. Those are the people who lose money, the people who trade by reading business news

Everyone who trades is greedy including me, some people might try to catch on a stock rally before a crash, some might bet on a crash months before it happens, you cant predict the exact month of a crash, but you can try to profit on it if you think you got over 50% odds

Being dead is the only way to get out of paying student loans (that or some forms of permanent disabilities are the only ways student loans can be discharged). If the can't get you because you don't have any income, they'll go after your cosigners (generally your parents).

This, everyone hears "invest in gold if you think the US is going under," but that just isn't going to happen within our lifetimes. I remember that some conservatives made a killing selling gold to suckers in 2008 when Obama was elected, kek.

Gold is meant to be held during a crash, and sold during a rally, nothing more, long term you are right, its stupid

I have never heard a single reasonable argument for it.
If anyone was pulling his strings they'd have taken him out months ago.

>>77330742
So what you are saying is essentially that trying to "time" the market is retarded. No individual investor can predict it.

But if that is our philosophy, why are we all contemplating pulling out our money now?

Shouldn't we stick to our positions and our long term plan, not trying to time it?

>>77330470
No it doesn't. Gold, like just about any other commodity, is extremely volatile.

Pick all of the above, I talked to my old high functioning autist math wizard high school teacher, said the right about of bonds in your portfolio should be 0%, and I agree
>>
>>77330967
Because of emotions, people panic when they see a red % of down, lets say i thought a stock worth 30 today was gonna go up to 50 in a year, however, in two months i might panic because the stock went down to 15, however, after a year the stock did go up to 50, and if i didnt panic i could have made tons of money.
But people do panic, especially when you are thousands of dollars under

>Because this massive private debt was sold to banks as securities around the world, the real estate bubble hit the global very hard.

To expand on this, a large majority of debt is backed by real estate (more so than ever I believe but I can't remember the source for this). If home prices fall, the value of a loan decreases (why not default on your 100k house that you owe 200k on). Once the homeowners default the bank then has to try to sell the house leading to an increase in houses on the market and with that, a greater decrease in house prices. Couple this with fractional reserve lending and you see banks going under.

This is the reason QE was spent on keeping housing prices artificially high (by increasing demand for houses)

Holding something long term is harder than you think, when you see an investment down thousands of dollars, you begin to feel like if you sold it now, even at a loss, you can prevent it from losing even more money.

He's not wrong.
He's also not making any point or contributing any meaningful input to the discussion, but he's not wrong.

Gold is nearly just as volatile of an investment but you don't earn any interest. What's the fucking point?
>>
>>77331138
>>77331232
For sure. I have only been in the market for 2 years which have been relatively rosey (hold total market etfs so have never lost much in a full day, and probably have like only 1 losing week the entire time). But right now is a major gutcheck. Deciding whether to change my position or stick to my guns.

Think you have inspired me to just stick with it and hold.

You're both correct. More immigrants will boost the economy in that they will buy things like food and electronics but other industries will suffer as a result of higher taxes as the immigrants strangle the government coffers with their gibs

If you have tons of investments, and buy gold, if the economy and stocks crash, your gold will go up, negating some of the loss incurred by your stocks, but thats the only reason i see to hold ti

My father who trades, is a PERMA bull, believing that no mattee what countries crash or even get nuked, large companies like mcdonalds and wallmart are always gonna be around. The problem is, how long are you willing to stick with it? 1-2 years ? 5-6 years?

The waiting time is the problem.
What are your positions?
>>
>>77331416
What are you holding? Check all your holdings, how much did they crash during 2008, and how long did it take them to recover? thats a good start
>>
>>77331416
in addition, during 2008 crash, did any of your holdings stop paying dividends? If they didn't its a good sign that the company is prepared for a crash
>>
Check what the insiders are doing, are directors selling massive amounts of holdings? Sometimes they need the cash, but if multiple of them are selling, it can be a bad sign
>>
>>77325656
What I don't get is why he announced it. Presumably this would help pump the gold market, but does that mean he'll dump it later or?
>>
Ask yourself, if during a crash, you woke up to see all your holdings 20% down, would you be able to handle it? would you be able to wait out till the recovery? Is the stock likely to recover? (check data during 2008)
>>
>>77332093
Yes, he will dump as soon as everyone sees the news and start buying thinking they will be rich like soros. Soros speculates, he makes huge bets on the market, he does not invest conservativly
>>
So everything is gonna catch fire as I enter the jobmarket.

Fantastic.
>>
>>77332093
When you see a large investor or multiple investors buying a lot of something, its already too late for you to join
>>
Every trade soros does can cost him millions, but soros understands how people act in the market, he knows how people panic. Soros buying gold does not mean he knows the market will crash, he just knows that soon people will think it will, and he can profit
>>
Soros is probably playing on volatility, he knows people are uncertain because of the elections, he knows panic will be high
>>
>>77332212
Recessions come and go, but large companies wiill still be around, if the US gets nuked tomorrow, will mcdonalds still be around? Yes, recessions do not last forever

or the brexit does happen, and russia takes the tension into it's own hands.
