Stock gains have lapped corporate profit growth during the roaring 2019 rally, but few portfolio managers are entering the new year concerned about investor exuberance

.

The S&P 500’s 29% rise for the year, on track for the best showing since 2013, stands out in part because corporate earnings have advanced this year at a modest half-a-percentage-point clip.

Haters are always going to hate. The difference between Obama and Trump is when Obama started the market had no where else to go but up. When Trump started the economy had already recovered thanks to Obamas dubble the deficit bail out and Trump still increased the dow 10k.

This is going to age super well!

2% GDP =28% stock ? crazy market

They never are till the bottom falls out.

TL;DR As long as the Fed continues its QE, the prospects for equities are good.

REALLY? On what data? Presidential Election year? Controversial one at that. I say tread lightly! Been a hella roller coaster ride thru 2018-19 2020 still suspect in my eyes! 🤔🤔🤔🤔

And what about wealth inequality? Is that what fuels this market? It surely doesn’t reflect the middle and working classes.

Because investers will still be rich at the end of the day when the market crashes.

Obama had back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back gains in the 8 year Obama Bull Market; from 6443.27 on March 6, 2009 to 19,824.54 on January 20, 2017; tripling the DOW. Did the WSJ ever credit Obama for tripling the DOW?

Imagine that, and demonrats want to impeach the realdonaldtrump economy...

Meanwhile, the rest of us are celebrating the season of selfless giving.

You keep hearing stocks are up 30% this year but from Oct 2018 S&P is only up about 12% - not exactly a massive bull run

who cares about your stock market and corporate profits when people are dying from not having health care and have to work 2-3 jobs just to afford rent

Yeah all the hedge funds knew everything about 2008 crash right? Maybe some of these big corporations should give their employees a raise so the over 50% of the US that doesn’t invest could give it a go.

3 times zero is zero

Remember all that gloom and doom in the stock market last Christmas?

HA!!! The roaring 2019. Obama tripled the DOW and the WSJ never called it the 8 year Obama Bull Market. Why? Ask them.

They are not transparent?

Sell-off in marijuana stocks reminds Tom Lee of bitcoin and the dotcom bubbleHe says that the cannabis sector's performance appears similar to the bitcoin craze and the height of the dot-com bubble at the turn of the century.
