We recently calculated the performance of stocks since the S&P 500 made a short-term bottom on October 10th based on how they performed from the 9/19 peak to 10/10. As shown below, the decile (50 stocks in each decile) of stocks that held up the best from 9/19 to 10/10 are up just 3.43% since then, while the decile of stocks that performed the worst during the big selloff are up a whopping 26.23%. Clearly there has been a lot of bottom fishing going on.
The richest one percent of this country owns half our country's wealth, five trillion dollars. One third of that comes from hard work, two thirds comes from inheritance, interest on interest accumulating to widows and idiot sons and what I do, stock and real estate speculation. It's bullshit. You got ninety percent of the American public out there with little or no net worth. I create nothing. I own.
