U.S. stocks opened sharply lower Friday, with the Dow and S&P 500 index headed for weekly declines, as investors continued to digest the Federal Reserve’s updated outlook for the economic recovery from COVID and inflation.

Friday also marks quadruple witching day, which is the simultaneous expiration of single-stock options, single-stock futures, stock-index options and stock-index futures.

A lot of market movement is what I call macro trends.  When every angle alligns negatively, the obvious bad things will happen. In this case, unstainable P/E ratios, with balooning inflation, and struggling employment numbers are a harbringer to some really tough news for Biden's agenda.   If he somehow is successful in his $6T Fedzilla infusion plan, watch for unprecedented hyperinflation here. 

Seeing a rare situation, where there is no decent place to park money right now, or shift investments.  After 5 straight drops in the broad market, it is a pretty safe bet to say that the Bulls are fleeing.....   And might be hiding for quite a long time.

  • Ah, the air is so much fresher here...
This downtrend hasn't even approached the last, and on much lower volume. We got another upshot or two, at least.

Shhhh!
Don't tell everybody.
I'm just a few years short of doing that myself, and I don't want the prices to skyrocket.

Inlation increases for farm land has actually exceeded other other areas of real estate.  $7-8K/acre is pretty common in the midwest.

Just IMO, outside of harvestable timber land, I really don't like to invest in real estate that does not provide an income.
