not complaining but I can't FIGURE out why the Markets are still robust, you would think based off all this dept and out of work that the Market would be in a free fall ? but I'm not a wall street guy, but it makes no sense to me ????

Three reasons, the stimulus plans, quantitative easing and the FED buying corporate junk bonds. It won't be long until the FED starts buying equities

Star Flakes mentioned Doritos. I refuse to pay $5 for a bag of chips of any kind. Inflated with air, two potatoes in each bag, the bag costs more than the product inside. Aint happenin'.

No but they have certainly made things conducive to everyone else doing so. That's where the two current acronyms come from. FOMO..fear of missing out ......and TINA.......There is no alternative

Thanks White. I am an avid reader of 49er's posts but I don't necessarily agree that the FED will purchase common stock. Purchasing "junk" debt is just a method to get otherwise good enterprises from here to there, if you catch my drift. I agree about the conducive part. I couldn't buy shares quickly enough when I saw what the powers that be were prepared to do back in March. My only regret is that I didn't have enough dry powder to deploy.

Yes I do not think the Fed will buy equities. Japan started doing that in 2010 and the results have been disastrous.

So far they have only used 10 billion of the 750 billion allocated for corporate bond purchases. I don't think they will use the majority of that.

There is really no good reason that they should buy stocks....even though Yellin brought it up a few years ago

Ah yes. The decade that wasn't. 10 out of 750! Wasn't aware of that.

Yep. The Fed balance sheet.......although greatly expanded, has actually started to stabilize and decline slightly.

The big difference between the Fed buying bonds as opposed to stocks is that bonds eventually mature and the liability will roll off the balance sheet. But with stocks...........once they buy them they hold them forever or until they decide to dump them. You can imagine the impact that would have on the market.

The Bank of Japan owns 3/4 of all stock ETF's on the Japanese market. They don't dare sell any of it at this point

"Geneva - The International Air Transport Association (IATA) released its financial outlook for the global air transport industry showing that airlines are expected to lose $84.3 billion in 2020 for a net profit margin of -20.1%. Revenues will fall 50% to $419 billion from $838 billion in 2019. In 2021, losses are expected to be cut to $15.8 billion as revenues rise to $598 billion.

“Financially, 2020 will go down as the worst year in the history of aviation. On average, every day of this year will add $230 million to industry losses. In total that’s a loss of $84.3 billion. It means that—based on an estimate of 2.2 billion passengers this year—airlines will lose $37.54 per passenger. That’s why government financial relief was and remains crucial as airlines burn through cash,” said Alexandre de Juniac, IATA’s Director General and CEO."

"The global cruise industry expected to carry 32 million passengers and take in $71 billion in revenue this year. That will fall by at least 50% this year, says Euromonitor International, a consulting firm. It took the industry three years to recover from the 2009 recession; this time, it will take longer, Euromonitor analyst Alex Jarman said."

I own a little Delta. Some of the airlines will survive. I figured Delta has as good a chance as anyone. People will eventually start flying again. All apologies to AOC! I am sure she is just as convinced that people will switch to electric train travel between the US and Europe.

Hard and fast rule for me is NEVER EVER buy into an airline.

Probably Delta will come out of this some day. But what are the opportunity costs in interim ?

You have more courage than I do

That is probably a good rule. In my defense, I bought it at what I thought was an inexpensive price! Next time it runs to 36 I will probably sell and look elsewhere.

I wish she would take that train.

A wish we can all get behind brother. Better yet, schedule the DNC leadership conference on the trip. All aboard!

We are seeing something interesting here in Oklahoma. When oil prices are up and the oilfield crowd is flush with cash, land prices rise. Those guys are now broke but land prices are going up again. Likely a function of interest rates, but I also think there is a distrust of the stock market and people are looking to park their money in something tangible. And, the housing market is booming too.
