Estimated Future Stock Market Returns
Buy Stocks or hold stocks today go to sleep like Rip Van Winkle wake 10 years later – your estimated average annual return is:
0.53%

Global Investors Brace for a Cruel New World of Feeble Returns

Investors worldwide face a grim dawn of low returns across debt and equity markets as early as next year, with rich valuations and feeble growth seen pushing gains below historic norms. 
The value investor, with $77 billion of assets, issued bearish projections Monday: gear up for negative returns across most asset classes adjusted for inflation for the next seven years, with emerging-market stocks offering the main source of positive gains. U.S. stocks, for example, have posted a 14.3 percent annualized return over the last five years -- GMO projects a 4 percent annual decline for U.S. large-cap stocks over the next seven years.
Investors are keeping the faith despite rich valuations. Equity funds received a cool $8.8 billion in the week to Oct. 18, according to Bank of America Corp., citing EPFR data, spurred by exuberance towards U.S. stocks. 
DYI:
Speculators who think they are investors chasing past performance – just as dogs chasing cars – believing this is the new future performance.  Valuations drive long term returns not short term price movements.  Shiller PE10 is at nose bleed level of 31.42 and a sub atomic low dividend yield (S&P 500) of 1.87%!  Future returns are inversely proportional to valuations – higher the valuation lower your future return or lower the valuation higher future returns.  Simple as that!

Average valuations over long periods of time (DYI since 1871) are created by adding up (such as Shiller PE10) and dividing by the number of time periods.  What we will have is periods of time valuations will be below and above their average creating the average.  Except for a brief period in 1991 and 2009 stocks as measured by Shiller PE10 have been above the mean since 1990 almost three decades!  A fair and reasonable assumption that stocks are long in the tooth for excessive valuations.  A drop below the mean for at least a decade is a very reasonable assumption.  Going back to our Rip Van Winkle example what would your return be if stocks ended 10 years from now at 12 PE10?  Answer: negative -2.74%!  This is more in line with DYI’s thinking and expectations.

Bottom line?  Hold onto your hats and cash better values are ahead.     
There’s one quantum of solace: Jeremy Grantham’s firm (GMO) projects U.S. inflation will return to its long-term average, suggesting that if weak core prices endure, the bar for real returns will be lowered.
DYI:
Solace?  Solace according to the Merriam Webster dictionary is defined: to give comfort or to make cheerful.  Since 1913 the average inflationary rate has been 3.24% and since 1970 has been 4.04%.  We all know – or at least we should know – the books are a bit cooked.  DYI has inflation average since 1970 in the 5% range.  At 5% your first dollar earned over the next 40 years loses 90% of its value.  Any wonder why it is so difficult to get ahead financially!  The real reason for the solace; our economy – the U.S. dollar – is debt based or fiat.  The only way bankers or investors are going to receive their rents (interest) in aggregate is by debasing (inflating) our currency by paying off their loans with cheaper dollars.  The Federal Reserve is nervous deflation will seep into the economy making it harder to pay their rents (interest) thus ramping up defaults which in turn reduces the money supply increasing deflation and increasing defaults.  Bottom line the Fed’s don’t give a crap about average Joe or Jane they are loyal to their member banks – the cartel – especially the big boys in New York City!     
 
DYI:
The calm before the storm?  You bet it is…When the tidal wave of lower stock prices will arrive all I can say it is now sooner than later.  DYI’s expectation from peak to trough over a multi-month period of time is a sell off in the magnitude of 55% to 70%!  As amazing as this seems a mere sell off of 50% will have valuation slightly above its mean providing insight to how massively the market is overvalued.

Once again; hold onto your hats and cash better values are ahead!

When the call for a "mass casualty incident" blasted through the radio Sunday night, the Clark County fire captain had no idea what was happening on the Las Vegas Strip, but he immediately began thinking about how he would run toward the bullets, the mayhem and the carnage while everyone else was running away. 
He quickly donned his flack vest and the helmet designed to withstand rifle fire and gunshots. Then he paused as a group of armed police officers created a protective bubble around him and other firefighters. Moving as one, the team hurled itself into the center of the chaos. 
"I knew the officers had my back and I would have had theirs," Geeb said. "We're going to go in together and we're going to come out together."

SANE PROGRESSIVE SHOWS HOW LAS VEGAS SHOOTING WAS STAGED RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES

Here is my two hour summary of my findings of the Las Vegas alleged mass shooting incident. As people are led by the nose by a media that has everyone analyzing Paddock, Campos, and multiple shooters, we are diverted from the ACTUAL story. This is a fake. The shooting is a fake. Stop asking who was the shooter/s and LOOK at what is RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES. The question is not who was the shooter, the question is WHAT PRODUCTION COMPANY THEY USED and how they simulated the event and who was involved. Don't believe me? Watch this video. You will. Go and LOOK for yourself. You will NOT see what they are TELLING you are seeing. LINKS BELOW:

"We don't want real investigative journalists asking real questions. Only lying MSM are welcome."
Laura Loomer

LAS VEGAS MASS SHOOTING COVER-UP EXPLODES: POLICE BAN INDEPENDENT REPORTERS FROM ATTENDING PRESS CONFERENCE

In a move that is only furthering the now widespread belief that a cover-up is currently underway in Las Vegas, two conservative reporters who have broken multiple key stories about the strange and ever changing circumstances surrounding the horrific mass shooting were banned from attending the latest police press conference.
DYI: 
I don’t care if this comes across as being insensitive; as of yet I do not have conclusive EVIDENCE anyone was killed or wounded.  Only reports from the main stream lying press as to the number of deaths or casualties.  Those who have supposedly been wounded interviewed by legacy press have been a complete joke.  These individuals were not shot at all.  A complete fake job.  All there is are a parade of story tellers.  I want verified death certificates and the doctor who signed verified that he or she is a doctor.  As it stands when it walks like a duck, looks like a duck, quacks like a duck…Until that changes this is just another fake Sandy Hook shooting.
Laura Loomer and Mike Tokes were both denied entry by armed guards in what was a transparent attempt by the Las Vegas Police Department to stop anyone from asking real questions. Keep in mind, Loomer’s reporting conclusively proved that supposed shooter Stephen Paddock had arrived at the hotel a full three days earlier than authorities had claimed. Eventually, the “official story” was changed, largely due to Loomer’s reporting itself.
In other words, they knew exactly who they were keeping out of the press conference and were doing it to specifically stop any real information from getting released to the public.
Nothing more than complete control of real independent news media.  If these two reporters are for real they may piece it together that this was staged event.  My question is did Trump sign off on this nonsense or was it planned months ago and dumped in his lap without his knowledge?  We will find out but only decades later after the primary generation Millennials are long since retired and passing away in statistical significant numbers.  The upcoming future generations will only view this as a small curiosity as the faked Gulf of Tonkin incident directed by Secretary of Defense McNamara and President Johnson drawing the U.S. ever deeper into the Vietnam War. 

The Truth About Tonkin

Historians have long suspected that the second attack in the Gulf of Tonkin never occurred and that the resolution was based on faulty evidence. But no declassified information had suggested that McNamara, Johnson, or anyone else in the decision-making process had intentionally misinterpreted the intelligence concerning the 4 August incident. More than 40 years after the events, that all changed with the release of the nearly 200 documents related to the Gulf of Tonkin incident and transcripts from the Johnson Library.These new documents and tapes reveal what historians could not prove: There was not a second attack on U.S. Navy ships in the Tonkin Gulf in early August 1964. Furthermore, the evidence suggests a disturbing and deliberate attempt by Secretary of Defense McNamara to distort the evidence and mislead Congress.
We may never know the whole truth behind the Tonkin events and the motivations of those involved. However, it is important to put what we do know into context. The administration's zeal for aggressive action, motivated by President Johnson's election worries, created an atmosphere of recklessness and overenthusiasm in which it became easy to draw conclusions based on scanty evidence and to overlook normally prudent precautionary measures. Without the full picture, Congress could not offer the checks and balances it was designed to provide. Subsequently, the White House carried the nation into the longest and one of the most costly conflicts in our nation's history.

  •  As with any shooting whether real or faked the gun grabbers are out in force.  Congress – House of Representatives has now proposed H.R. 3999.
H.R.3999 - To amend title 18, United States Code, to prohibit the manufacture, possession, or transfer of any part or combination of parts that is designed and functions to increase the rate of fire of a semiautomatic rifle but does not convert the semiautomatic rifle into a machine gun, and for other purposes.

This is nothing more than a Trojan horse to further pursue the endgame of out right gun ban with vague worded legislation that is open to endless interpretation.  Here is a video explaining just this situation by Paul Glasco of Legally Armed America Channel.

  • Security services, metal detectors, proliferation of cameras with legislation mandating private businesses of certain size to have a full build out monitoring.

The profits from this will be in the millions if not billions and don’t be surprised if other countries follow such as Canada and England plus Central Europe as well.  One hell of a police state in the making.  As time moves forward I’ll be checking to see who the major corporate players are and pass it on.
  • An attempt to maintain the Democratic Party’s relativeness and dominance after their almost destruction during the 2016 local, state, and national elections.
I’m not saying whether the Democratic Party had anything to do with Las Vegas or not – nor would it surprise me if they did – a move to endear themselves with the government/corporate elites.  It is unfortunate that many Republicans (RHINO’s) have signed off on HR 3999 as well.

Gold Price To Suffer a Tremendous Drop Says Goldman Sachs

In a report Monday, Goldman Sachs technical analysts, Sheba Jafari and Jack Abramovitz said that they see gold prices falling to $1,100 an ounce after the market was unable to test key resistance around $1,380 an ounce, which they noted represented a key level from the 2011 high to the 2016 lows. 
Goldman Sachs has been fairly bearish on gold, even as prices pushed to a one-year high last month. In a September report, the investment bank maintained its outlook that gold prices will end the year at $1.250 an ounce.
The bank’s reasons for being bearish gold is that it expects the U.S. dollar to shake off recent weakness. Monday, the U.S. dollar index continued to hold near a 10-week high Monday as expectations for a December rate hike rise significantly.
 DYI:
Gold price movements are not just based upon dollar debasement – inflation – but shorter term movements this barbarous relic [fiat central banker’s speak for real money] travels due to international tensions (upside) lack of tension (downside), up on decreasing faith of central banks and down increasing faith in central banks.  The list goes on; DYI’s method of measurement is the Dow/Gold Ratio providing our formula to work off the long term average going all the way back to 1871.  The Dow/Gold Ratio is at 17 to 1 (rounded) as compared to our average of past tops and bottoms at 16 to 1.  Very close to the average meaning gold prices are at fair value neither expensive nor cheap.
 
So…Our averaging formula directs a modest 22% allocation to precious metals mining company’s shares.

 0% -Stocks-  Total Stock Market Index Fund - VTSAX
[See Disclaimer]
Which way will the price of gold move?  I have no idea.  If prices move up from here lifting mining stocks prices our formula will have us selling down to its proportional average and if prices decline we will increase our allocation at cheaper prices producing higher future returns.  Simple as that.

Stock market continues its huge bubble
Bitcoin isn't the only investment that's in a huge bubble that could implode at any time. There are $8 trillion globally in in corporate and government bonds with negative yields, which means that you invest $1,000, but only get $990 when you sell the bonds. In other words, you don't earn money by investing -- you pay money to invest. But people do it anyway, because they perceive these bonds to be safe havens in which to store their money, and they're willing to pay a price for that safety. 
But low or negative interest rates on bonds means that the prices of the bonds are astronomically high, so bonds are also in a huge bubble. If the Fed and other central banks start raising interest rates, which they say they're going to do, then the values of these bonds could come crashing down.
DYI:  The Federal Reserve [it’s private & has no reserves] is a very powerful blunt monetary force.  There is a universal force far greater than the combined weight and fury of the world’s central banks.  Mr. Market!  No doubt central banks are able to maintain sub atomically low or rates negative such as many European countries far longer than one can imagine but in the end Mr. Market will have his way and rates will be higher than their respective countries average.

Don’t expect some cataclysmic single day event that “jacks up” interest rates but a year over year grinding higher interrupted as recessions come and go – 2 or 3 steps forward and 1 step back process.  Have rates bottomed out as measured by the 10 year T-bond at 1.50% in July of 2016?  I have no idea and nor does anyone else.  My best guess simply due to the fact we have gone without a recession since 2009, this economy is long in the tooth making a pervasive argument for even lower rates.  Be as that is why does DYI hold no long term bonds in my model portfolio?  Rates, again measured by 10 year T-bonds are now 100% higher than the historical  Price to Interest (PI) average of 22 to 1 (1 / 4.58% = 22 PI rounded) as compared to current yield of 2.28% or 1 / 2.28 = 22 PI (rounded).  Simple arithmetic (44 – 22) / 22 x 100 = 100%. DYI’s formula “kicks us out” entirely from long term bonds due to their excessive high price from its average.  So…We wait for rates to lift higher before purchasing at the long end of the market and only proportionally to the long term average – since 1871 – basis.          
Watching CNBC this week, I learned that stock traders are unhappy because stock market volatility (measured by the VIX) has been extremely low. Traders love the chaos of high volatility, with stock prices jumping up and down, because they're good at making timed trades and making money from them. But with the markets so quiet and placid, traders are unable to make money.Therefore, traders are hoping for a geopolitical crisis, like a North Korea nuclear crisis or a major Mideast war, to increase volatility so that they can make money. 
Many people are crediting the large stock market rise of 19% as a "Trump rally," but taking credit for a stock market rally is extremely dangerous; you get the blame when the stock market falls. 
DYI:  So true…So true…Trump would serve himself best by distancing himself or whenever possible not comment about the market at all.  Only when he has no choice simply dismiss the ups and downs of markets as a Wall Street phenomenon and quickly move on to reporters next question. At these insane valuations a massive bear market is just waiting to happen.
According to Friday's Wall Street Journal, the S&P 500 Price/Earnings index (stock valuations index) on Friday morning (October 13) was at an astronomically high 24.55. This is far above the historical average of 14, indicating that the stock market bubble is still growing, and could burst at any time. Generational Dynamics predicts that the P/E ratio will fall to the 5-6 range or lower, which is where it was as recently as 1982, resulting in a Dow Jones Industrial Average of 3000 or lower. 
There's actually been a lot of debate and discussion recently on whether a stock market crash is coming, much more discussion than I've heard in the past. One person comes on and talks about price/earnings ratios or other stock price measures to show that stocks are way overpriced. Then a kid comes on, who seems barely old enough to remember the financial crisis of 2008, and says that the American economy is resilient, and there are no signs of an impending crash, and no reason for one to occur at this time. 
So I like to point out that no one has any idea why a stock market panic occurred on the particular day October 28, 1928, and why it didn't occur six months earlier or six months later. Even today, economists and analysts cannot give a reason why that was the day. Everyone understands that it had to occur because price/earnings ratios were astronomically high (as they are today). But whether it will occur tomorrow, next week, next month or next year is impossible to predict and, as in 1929, we may not even know why it happened.
DYI:  Hang onto your hats and your cash better values – higher future returns are ahead.

A Deaf Ear to Dire Russian Warnings

Kremlin Issues Stern Warning to Washington Over Its Help for Terrorists in Syria

From time to time, the Kremlin uses the Sunday evening weekly news wrap-up program of Dmitry Kiselyov on state television channel Rossiya-1 to send blunt and public warnings to Washington without diplomatic niceties.
Kiselyov used his airtime then to spell out the Russian response, which he characterized as unprecedented in scope and seriousness. It was essential to put all of its elements together in one place, as he did, because our boys in the Pentagon chose to downplay one or another element in isolation, such as the Russian installation of their Iskander nuclear potential missiles in Kaliningrad, or the abrogation of the deconfliction agreement relating to air space over Syria, or the dispatch of still more Russian vessels to the Eastern Mediterranean equipped to sink our Navy. 
That last charge has now again re-emerged in the program that Kiselyov presented yesterday.  The Americans were identified as the “main obstacle” to the mopping up operation in Syria, at a time when “the light at the end of the tunnel” is visible [Kiselyov’s characterization], when more than 90% of the Syrian territory is under government control. 
To wit, the United States is secretly aiding the terrorists: supplying them with weapons, helping them to move around, removing them from under hostile fire, giving them the findings of aerial reconnaissance, maps of where Syrian government forces are operating and even the locations of Russian military detachments.
DYI:
Push out massive amounts of propaganda (lies) while the U.S. supplies the terrorists the necessities of military support all in an effort to maintain the juggernaut spending of the Military Industrial Complex.  Nothing more than war profiteering on grand scale to plunder the American public’s tax dollars and debt financing.

Maxine Waters: Housing ‘Is a Necessary Human Right’

Thursday at a Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) oversight hearing Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) declared housing was a “necessary human right.”
Waters said, “Housing is the foundation on which our entire society is built. It is a platform for economic mobility and well-being. It is a crucial part of our national economy. It is a necessary human right.”
 Dear Maxine,

Natural Rights does not require money, time, or labor – generally in the form of taxes – from another individual (society).  Since they require no other intervention by man our founding fathers stated clearly as rights deemed by God.  God’s granting of an individuals right to life, liberty, and to pursue happiness.  An individual's LIBERTY is expressed in our constitution so simply and eloquently yet direct and concrete.  The right to defend yourself with the use of arms (weapons) to be secure in your personal effects, to be silent or speak freely.


When the power of the purse – other people’s money (taxes) – a requirement of their labor to provide for others is forced charity; is NOT a right.  Providing healthcare, housing, food, clothing, education, etc. have been commonly called benefits and nefariously deemed entitlements are NOT a right.  Those who embrace and advocate these benefits are SOCIALIST’S!

The Department of Housing and Urban Development has been a disaster from its inception.  It is incapable of reform; it is the nature of government itself when disposing vast sums of funds for others creating a playground for graft and corruption. To help the poor and needy is accomplished by closing this monster. Providing a positive backdrop of free enterprise to flourish will increase the quality and reduce the price for housing.  Socialism fails, and fails miserably repeatedly.  Its time to put this chapter behind us of failed socialism in housing – close HUD now and forever.
