What The Hell is Going On | BCBS/Aetna/Cigna

I disagree . As far as stocks go it's a voting mechanism plain and simply . Russia nukes Ukraine tonight . Do you believe the mkt goes straight now with no bounces ? O course not there's 50 million traders That want to trade for 50 cents on bounces . We can have the worst news in the world and the mkt goes up . Why's apple at 32 p/e with no growth for 4 yrs? In theory it should be trading at a 10 p/e but it's not . Your theory of things that should happen from the past carry no weight as far as stocks or the economy goes. 90% of economists have been expecting a recession the last 2 yrs based on past indicators that worked. They were wrong!!! . The inverted yield curve for the last 2 yrs almost always flashed a recession straight ahead . It was wrong .
It's more simple then that.. When there is liquidity stocks go up no matter the external event(see Covid). When its taken away they go down..

As I said, economists are better at explaining the past than predicting the future. Short fluctuations in the stock market from current events in the world are expected. The longer term trends (longer than quarterly reports often) don't happen in a vacuum. How companies got to where they are today depends on what went on in the past.

For example, in the medicare market - the baby boom generation affects what goes on today independently of anything else. Through 2030 each year about 1.2 million boomers will turn 65. There will be a growing market for supplements, MAP's, or whatever else is offered that we don't know about yet.. Yes some will die who already have medicare but the bubble will still be there for a while with an increasing number of new clients regardless of what the stock market does or the economy..

100% agree . The $64 k question is how and will the agent be involved and if so at what compensation rates
