What's wrong with ASX200 ?FWIW There's a few "black box" type indicators I keep a watch on so far as indices are concerned. Nothing fancy, just sites which compile multiple technical indicators into a single number and things like that.
The S&P500 looks healthy but there's a few alarm bells ringing so far as the ASX200 is concerned.
I don't trade directly based on that, it's just background information, but still.
Overvalued vs the US as we are in an actual economic war with our best customer.What's wrong with ASX200 ?
Jobkeeper is a company support as is the cash flow incentive of last year.Although timing may be off from your prediction, I think what you said is likely to be the eventual outcome, unfortunately. I agree with all of the above except for one point about businesses.
I don't know of many businesses that have survived through support... what support ? Yes there is some support for housing as always in Australia, which in turn supports construction, real estate and few other businesses such as Building Materials companies (Disclosure: I hold Building Materials company CSR Ltd in Speculative Stock Portfolio which has done well as a result). But most businesses had to fend for themselves through lock-downs and virus fears and some even went out of business such as Virgin Airlines and countless small businesses that couldn't afford to keep their doors open.
Individuals however did get support in terms of Job (S/K) eek/per schemes including a huge pay rise for the Unemployed / Dole recipients.
You've said it @qldfrog , that is the same view I have of the situation. Things seem to be fine at the surface level:Jobkeeper is a company support as is the cash flow incentive of last year.
Will it be sufficient? I doubt it
My own company a case in point.I was in a startup in China.money flowing from China into my oz Pty Ltd then covid19 happened.
By jan 2020, i basically was unable to travel back and forth.still ongoing.company in China carries on.here well i am in a zombie company mode.so either i restart a business from scratch or close.
Why would i restart? The economics did not kill it, the gov. decisions did.And now the economic war.
I try to save the shell and reorient but motivation is low, red tape increasing seriously each year, why bother...not worth the effort here..
So yes australian Gov supports the companies he is killing but just creating zombies by the 1000s.
Do not expect a restart.once jobkeeper is over they will close.at least,it will be orderly.
He has been 100% wrong over the years if you go back and look at his calls.Gold's up ?

It is amazing to see so many great set-ups this late in a bull cycle.The Nasdaq, tech stocks, gold & T-bonds are all very oversold & at important inflection points.All should have great runs just ahead. Nasdaq to 17,000, gold to 2500 & the 10yr to .95%. Wow, just wow! Historical.

If I could time the markets I'd let you follow me lol. Unfortunately I can't.@Porper well you give me a secular blue-print then and I'll follow you!
I'm not proud and have absolutely no reason to be - except that I've lost 5kg by time restricted eating.
Interesting findings @finicky as always.Thought I'd throw in this mini declamatory speech from Stanley Druckenmiller. I had difficulty interpreting what he said but it seems consistent with D. Hunter's outlook in that he uses the term "deflationary bust" and expects a bursting of inflated assets and I think he is saying then to expect consumer inflation. Would be interesting to know his view on Gold. Impressive figure from his Wiki entry.
