Business, Economics & Tax Policy 6.0: Nope, it only found woven strands

JP Morgan says the markets could drop 40% in the next couple of years.

And it could go up 40%, too. Do they give a probability or are they trying to scare everybody to sell to so their traders can make commissions?

Companies give guidance to help investors in general and their clients in particular protect themselves. Doubt that the $8 per trade will move the needle for a company like JPM.

It's probably just wild conjecture. It's not the trading, it's the management of money and wealth. This is just a way to get those fee-based people who own tens of millions to get back in and start moving **** around.

Of course the market could drop 40%. It could drop 40% tomorrow if the Norks drop a bomb on Seoul. Or it could go up 40% in the next few years.

Given the state of wages, the general velocity of the stock market, a semi-lethargic growth rate of GDP, what's a more like scenario between a 40% gain or a 40% loss? I think 40% is too much, but they probably have a more complete set of numbers than I do, and mix in some anti-Trump feelings with regards to his trade deficit blathering lately, and there you have it.

There's no question there will be major corrections, it's only a matter of when.

Looks like Peyton had some insider information that wasn't available to the buyers. I think that's probably illegal.

I have no idea how the deal went down, but those sorts of things are usually months to over a year in the making. I seriously doubt there was any insider info used in the decision.

Weren't they supposed to have plummeted on about three separate occasions last year?

Hang on, let me pull some random numbers out of my *** and create a correlation... :p

Not sure where else to post this, but I'm looking to get some information on the PO process for companies that use SAP. Anyone here have SAP and are involved in the indirect purchasing?

All he would have needed was info on when the NFL contract was ending. since everyone knew Papa Johns & the NFL wanted out. He probably has inside info on top of that, but that's probably enough to get around it.

Could the economic numbers be increasingly fudged? There's arguably nothing else that would improve a politicians chances of being elected or current sitting power than good economic numbers.

Depends on which #s you use. IIRC, there are a whole bunch of unemployment %s. You always flaunt the # that makes you look good and bury the ones that don't.

I'm good with using numbers that make you look better...because that's what every administration has done since the beginning of time. I'm not good with falsifying numbers.

they were fake when it was Obama. Now that Trumpy is in charge all the good economic numbers are real.

No, the widely reported one is always the U3 number. People who want to score political points against the majority party throw out the U6 number because it includes more people.

In reality, it doesn't matter which you use, because the change is what matters and they track one another almost 100%. In other words, when the U3 drops from 5 to 4 percent, the U6 will drop by a similar percentage (say 10 to 8, as an example).
