Is this the default view of the nigh-all-in crypto investor? As far as I can remember the world has been going to shit since the 80's! Wrt your previous comments, most of the S&P 500 has performed poorly over the last couple of years, its only the few mega-caps that have dragged it upward. So maybe it is just those big tech stocks that are over-priced and need correction? Won't help an index investor if they crash of course, as they are so heavily weighted in the index. At the end of the day we live and die by our own investment choices!

You won't be disappointed now

Glorious evening, and I ain't talking about the weather!

You mean in addition to Middlesboro and Leeds?

Surely we cannot know what it is doing right now until another 12 billion years has elapsed?

GDP includes exports but would not include sales that some huge companies make in other countries. The best example I can find is that a company like Amazon makes a lot of money from fulfillment centres and sellers in Asia. This profit would be priced into the Amazon share price but has no impact on US GDP. This globalisation aspect (especially of the mega cap companies) has increased gradually over time, so that particular ratio will naturally increase. I believe Warren Buffet himself may have stated something similar - or at least stated that we cannot rely on one single measure over a long period of time.

There is a natural trend upwards of this indicator because of new technologies and the global reach of US companies. The market value of these companies is naturally increasing compared to the US GDP figure. So probably unfair to directly compare it to previous values. The stock market is still somewhat overvalued though, the Schiller PE ratio is currently at about 33. It was at 44 before the .com crash. I take it you are 100% cash then?

Here's hoping for a hefty one

Nvidia earnings on Wednesday. The results could have a big effect on the AI hype, though the consensus seems to be that they'll be posting similar if not better results than Q3 2023.

Don't know, could be 6pts, is that classed as comfortable?

I'm always amazed how many people don't take this into account, they just assume that the current better goal difference is worth an extra point

What a game that was in Seville. France had a wonderful team including Platini, Tigana and Giresse. The horrific tackle notwithstanding, France were 3-1 up at half-time of extra time, but the Germans being the Germans pulled it back to 3-3 and won the penalty shootout. Thankfully they lost to Italy in the final. But that great France team that were so wronged in '82 at least went on to win Euro '84.

Fixed it for you

Mr and Mrs Smallbone liked that name but went for the safer option of Will

And isn't his first name Will?!

Someone once said, the more that things change the more they stay the same..

Reports of shots fired and people hurt during the Chiefs' celebration parade

Got to feel for the 49ers after that one. Tough loss

How are the Chiefs winning this? Been second best for the most part

Worked out in the end. Thought it was going to be a pick-6!

Wtf was Kelce doing there with Andy Reid??

The way the 49ers defense is playing, 3 points might be enough!

Chiefs will win. The 49ers quarterback is an irrelevancy!

I started a thread about this ("Teams we have done the double over, 23/24"), just before the Huddersfield game, in anticipation of our first double of the season. A few posters wet the bed, as if I was putting the 'mokkers' on it, or providing Huddersfield with motivating material, and the mods removed the thread! It was only gonna be a (hopefully lengthy) list akin to the "teams that can't catch us" thread.

She's very unpredictable
