You can "expect" to see THE WEAK EARNINGS at this time "NEXT" YEAR: it's way TOO EARLY this year. Are THE U.S. JOB NUMBERS TOTALLY BOGUS or not when U.S. companies have been laying off employees for some time now? RETAIL FALLING PRICES suggests DEFLATION is taking hold in the USA with consumer spending being FAR FROM ROBUST. What BOUT FOREIGN INVESTMENT? The USA will get A LOT LESS than in the past due to ITS MALICIOUS/POISONOUS FOREIGN POLICY. OUCH! (The U.S. presence in Afghanistan was of NO BENEFIT to that nation - ON PURPOSE.) HOMELESS is going up by the day in the USA. TO COUNTERBALANCE ALL THIS, "everyone" in THE MARKET PLACE is "intentionally" PRETENDING THINGS ARE NOT THAT BAD: consequently, we doN'T have NORMAL BULL + BEAR FORCES "at play" in the market place that would GIVE AN HONEST EVALUATION of what is really going on. THE FUNDAMENTALS ARE NOT THERE TO SUPPORT THE STRONG SHOWING OF THE U.S. STOCK MARKETS. THE AMERICANS ARE PLAYING A GAME OF "LET'S PRETEND" WE'RE NOT ECONOMICALLY IN TROUBLE. (Ha! Ha!) WHY? To keep the U.S. $ from FALLING TOO FAST. This postpones THE INEVITABLE: A BANKRUPT USA with U.S. banks going BELLY UP - EXCEPT for the BANK OF TORONTO DOMINION which has THE BEST CHANCES OF SURVIVING A SEVERE ECONOMIC DOWNTURN. THE BIG QUESTION: does the U.S. Gov't have THE NECESSARY FUNDS to keep the doors of Gov't past the month of September? NOT LIKELY. Ken, Toronto, CANADA https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/index/dxy
