categorically the stock market is more likely to fall than rise over the coming months

fiction
Edward w Pritchard


Think no one knows what the stock market will do month over month or quarter or quarter?

Look to the ten year bond yield for clues; the yield on US bonds is going up, bond values are falling, and that is a harbinger of a weaker stock market. A wink from the smart-smart money that Rates will rise and stocks will fall. Financial engineering from the Federal reserve will be put in the drawer for a while, interest rates will rise and some of the hot air that has pumped up stock prices will hiss out of the stock averages and [this is the important part to you]- your 401K  will take a hit again after five years of price increases.

Don't worry or fret over inflation or deflation- protect your treasure in your retirement account. Go on the defensive now.

Here's what I wrote before on worry over the market: written originally in 2011

shell game scam

The NFL players are on strike and them and the owners refuse to have a pro football season this year. How shall we survive. The shell game involves three walnut shells and a pea is placed under one shell.

If lawmakers in Washington DC do not pass a new debt ceiling they will not get paid after August 1, 2011; others may be effected as well. Also known as  thimblerig or the old army the shell game is a scam pulled off at resorts and casinos where a rube is targeted based on the basic greed of most people to fall for the trick of quick riches.

Banks are about to fail, Greece, Spain and Portugal and your neighbors are about to default, and twenty five per cent of Americans are under water on their homes. Watch closely, keep your eye on the shell, which has the pea under it. Spin, spin, spin.  Good, Good now let's speed things up, watch the price of gold, the yield on a ten year bond, dollar versus Euro ratio, housing prices in selected cities, CNN financial news, your job prospects. What about retirement, where will you spend eternity[ yahoo says ten things to consider before you die unexpectedly].  Is your neighborhood safe. How's your hometown MLB team doing. Watch the shells , are you happy and content yet. Spin, spin, spin, keep your eyes on the shells sonny.
