I'm a financial professional with a sizable portfolio,
None of your questions has any relevance whatsoever to Jet57's decision not to be in stocks. In fact, it tends to support it by acknowledging values are subjective. ("20 different experts/opinions")
WTF difference is the value of any single stock when a Downdraft comes/Black Swan flies in?

we have non investor calling for another crash.....what i call a chicken little

you may not want to know his background or investing chops to see if he may have a leg to stand on......

as i said in another answer, chicken littles are scary....you get enough of them around, and it can change the way people feel about things

the internet is a wonderful thing....but just like all the other crap out there, some things can have an effect on the economy

chicken littles can be one of those things.....too many espousing a crash and suddenly a few more people begin believing it

so i will put the same questions to you?

are you calling for a crash? if so, what is your definition of one?

values have always been subjective...what buffett call the mister market effect....

one sector or another may be in favor and the whole sector jumps....goods and bad stocks

or may be disfavor, and the whole sector goes down included the really good blue chips that probably shouldnt

he is calling for a crash? what is his definition? when does he think it will happen....you know...facts that he will later be called on

if you are going to call something, call it

percent change, when, and cause.....that way it is in writing

and that way, we can all look back at his prognostication, and take it for what it was

which is what i expected

no knowledge of the market, or valuations....

what is your definition of a crash? and by when should this crash occur? weeks? months? by end of year?

pondering minds want to know

You have continually confused/conflated/Deflected by saying that someone who chooses not/never to be in the Stock market is "predicting a crash".... or wanting to talk about your portfolio.
Gameover.

oh great and wonderful Kreskin

please tell me what is your valuation of SYSCO is worth? stock sym SYY

Huntsman Chemical HUN

or Johnson & Johnson JNJ

or Bank of America BAC

i can give you 20 experts who all give different valuations based on different things

What are your valuations based upon other than opinion?

And are you taking the market as a whole? or individual equities which will always perform differently

You arent an investor, and yet here comes your chicken little warning that "the sky is falling"

by the way, what is your definition of a crash? we havent even established those guidelines yet?

better yet...i think i will leave this thread, and go back to reading my daily investor news for market mania

plenty of chicken littles in there also

"Valuations" don't mean anything and in the history of financial crash in this country they have never meant anything at all. The stock market can move on rumor alone so sooth saying about trends isn't as good as forecasting the weather, because the weather doesn't depend on human nature. The fact is, with soaring populations and out reach costs of living, something is going to break sooner or later: it happens every - single - time.
