7/1/2015- A positive day with the Dow Jones up 158 points (+0.90%) and the Nasdaq up 26 points (+0.53%)

A massive and rather rapid stock market decline is coming later on this year. And while we won’t have a crash, considering the amount of margin debt out there, quite a few people will get wiped out. If you would like to find out exactly when this move will develop, to the day, please Click Here. 

A number of quite important opinions about today’s stock market. Let’s take a look.

As the stock market climbs ever higher, professional investors are warning that companies are presenting misleading versions of their results that ignore a wide variety of normal costs of running a business to make it seem like they’re doing better than they really are.

We have talked about this before. BlackRock: Most Of Corporate Earnings Growth (If Any) Is Accounting Driven

I have said it before and I will say it again. Today’s distortions are so great that the FED’s Ponzi Finance makes Bernie Madoff look like a boy scout. But its more than that. Everyone is playing the same accounting game. Whether it is through low interest rates, share buybacks or outright accounting gimmicks.

While impossible to calculate, I would say that a more normalized environment would add 5 to 10 points to today’s P/E ratios. By the way, Shiller’s Adjusted P/E Ratio is already at 27. Turning an already expensive market into “are you freaking kidding me overpriced accident” waiting to happen.

Never before has a rally in the U.S. stock market gone on this long without a Federal Reserve interest-rate increase. Expecting valuations to keep rising once one comes is asking too much, if history is any guide.

As I have suggested before,  the FED finds itself in an impossible situation. It is stuck in the corner. With all of the misallocations over the last 15-20 years about to come crashing down on them. They best they can hope for at this stage is debt monetization and run away inflation. But with bond prices possibly collapsing, they might not even have that option.

Interesting times ahead, that’s for sure.

This conclusion is further supported by my mathematical and timing work. It clearly shows a severe bear market between 2015-2017. In fact, when it starts it will very quickly retrace most of the gains accrued over the last few years.  If you would be interested in learning when the bear market of 2015-2017 will start (to the day) and its internal composition, please CLICK HERE.
