Stock Market Melt-up . . . .

[errolanderson]

U.S. stock indexes all hit record highs yesterday . . . day after day. And yet, the U.S. Federal Reserve still can't raise interest rates.

A true financial market 'melt-up' in-progress . . . .

Maybe melt-up before melt-down? Probably not.

What are your thoughts?

Dow skyrocketing to 17,000??

Steve St. Angelo at investing.com shows aninteresting chart showing the disassociation of precious metals to the Dow in 2012. Wish I could post it Farming 101 to the rescue?

The stock market will tank soon this the game. How else do they keep inflation under somewhat control when interest rates are kept near zero? The sheeple get crushed every time.

Trump's banking deregulation is rallying equities without a solid fundamental backdrop (IMO). U.S. retail is now in a world-of-hurt. U.S. 4th quarter was just 1.9 percent. And the value of Dow Jones companies has now fallen 2010 levels.

As Allan Greespan diplomatically called banking greed in 2008 . . . 'Irrational Exuberance'. Is Trump going to re-ignite this?

Is this stock market run up pulling the grain prices higher?

I am thinking I need to lock down some of our prices for '17

Anyone else thinking this way?

[errolanderson]

monte, yes . . . .

Trend is your friend. Lots of missed opportunity sitting on the sidelines the last several years.

Actions speak louder than words in my case. Sell crop at decent levels and throw money into a savings account. Boring. Just wished my investments cranked out a greater return so I could give more.

Errol - what is the average price/earning ratio of the S&P 500 now? Over 20?

Was hope if to grab a $11 October canola bid . Locals won't budge off $10.60 even with current rally 👎

[Oliver88]

It's only February lots of time to get an October $11 canola target.

Is this going to be a slow motion train wreck? When equities correct is the money going to go to precious metals? What about real
estate.........commercial, residential and Ag?

You want to own paper or hard assets?
