JUST IN - S&P 500 down 21% in H1, posts worst return since 1970.
Nasdaq 100 finished the first half down -30%, most since 2002
This was inevitable when the Fed started cutting the money supply to control inflation. Inflation favors the stock market. Deflation favors bonds and other shelters.
We may well be entering a period of stagflation. IF inflation continues to rise and the market goes down we will have achieved equality with Jimmy Carter's economic malaise.

The last 14 years have been marked by monetary expansion, a low interest rate scenario and quantitative easing. This changed recently when the FED realized that inflation had gotten out of control. Now all eyes are on the unemployment rate and inflation.
For those trying to trade the stock market, trading when the market is down can be difficult. One practical way to earn when the market falls is through binary options, where you initiate a short trade and wait for it to close.
But this type of investment is of short duration, which increases the unpredictability about market movements. But it is still a valid attempt for those who like to operate in favor of the trend.

Now I am given to understand the market is rising again - that's because people are grabbing what they can to shelter their assets. Who wants to own money at a time like this? It's worth far less after a short while.
