ralph nader on expectations, the american dream, corporate welfare

[1989]

stocks and housing are in bubble territory. or they were anyways. ill wait on schiller to say when to buy stocks.

I bought all my houses at a high level. I sold a place 4K less than I paid but had an extra 10K in equity and left the table with more cash. Disappointing that stock indices are 4 times what they were in 2009.

Your house is not an investment. It’s your lifestyle. It will be worth more in 2050.

You're not too bright kid.

Companies aren't designed to have zero revenue. When they make a profit they either pay a dividend, buy back stock, or use it to expand.

Companies don't sit on cash and watch it devalue to inflation. It's not like you keeping money in your piggy back in case mom stops giving you an allowance.

You're not to bright are you?

Companies funneled record amounts of cash to stock buybacks, dividends, capital spending and acquisitions last year. As a result, U.S. corporate cash holdings fell to a three-year low of $1.685 trillion in 2018, according to a report from Moody's Investors Service Inc.Jun 10, 2019

Wrong. Nice edit, assclown. You wrote corporations don't sit on cash. What do you call the $1.7 trillion left over after the dividends and/or buybacks?

Cash holdings $1.685 trillion.

Nice edit, assclown.

Aww, you feel stupid so you resort to insults. Very sad.
