The expected decline in earnings will be the largest expected decline since Q1:09, when the S&P earnings were expected to decline 26.9% from the same quarter in 2008."
  • "Of course, the “geniuses” at our Federal Reserve want us to believe them when they say that our economy is booming and deserves a series of rate hikes when the rest of the world central bankers are lowering rates as fast as they can. However, that is for another article on another day."
  • "At present, the forward 12 month P/E on the S&P 500 is 16.5 which is higher than the five and ten year averages thanks to the period between 2008 and 2012 when we were in the so-called Great Depression aka the global financial meltdown and the S&P was ravaged."
