| Topic | Stocks close out 2019 with best gains in years |
| SK8T3R215 01/01/20 2:12:23 AM #1 | Stocks produced their best gains in years for investors in 2019, both in the U.S. and abroad Stocks around the world closed out one of their best years over the past decade, defying money managers who began 2019 expecting the bull market to be upended by threats from the U.S.-China trade fight and a slowdown in growth. Just 12 months ago, the mood was far dimmer. The global economy was weakening; stocks, bonds and commodities were falling in tandem; and money managers worried the Federal Reserves interest-rate increases would turn an economic slowdown into a protracted downturn. Fast forward to the final day of the decade, and stock indexes from the U.S. to Brazil to Germany are up more than 20% apiece for the year. While prior such runs have been met by skepticism, this time, few see the rally ending soon. The Dow Jones Industrial Averages more than 170% rise from 2010 to 2020 ranks as just the fourth-best decadelong performance in the past 100 yearsa gain that, while respectable, doesnt conjure the fear of excess that rallies in the 80s and 90s did. Many investment banks are forecasting solid, if modest gains for the coming year, citing major central banks easy-money policies, a resilient U.S. economy and a breakthrough in trade talks between Washington and Beijing. BMO Capital Markets and Goldman Sachs estimate the S&P 500 will end 2020 at 3400, 5.2% above where the index closed Tuesday, while Citigroup and Bank of America have put their target at 3300. I surely wouldnt expect a repeat as far as the magnitude of market gains, but I think were set up for a better year in 2020 than we were in 2019, said Dan Miller, director of equities at GW&K Investment Management. He added that he is hopeful that the combination of lower interest rates and cooling trade tensions will help sustain stock gains in the new year. On the final trading day of 2019, the S&P 500 edged up 0.3% to 3230.78, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.3% to 28538.44 and the Nasdaq Composite added 0.3% to 8972.60. The S&P 500 finished the year up 29% for its best showing since 2013, while the Dow added 22% and the Nasdaq advanced 35%. Elsewhere, the Stoxx Europe 600 finished the year up 23% for its biggest gain since 2009, and the Shanghai Composite climbed 22%. Hong Kongs shares lagged behind global indexes, with the Hang Seng ending the year up just 9% after months of clashes between antigovernment demonstrations and police. Despite a tricky macro backdrop, its been a very, very good year for global markets, said Emma Wall, head of investment analysis at Hargreaves Lansdown. Many say its difficult to pinpoint what exactly could trip up the rally in 2020. There are a number of uncertainties that investors say they will be watching: the U.S. and China havent completed a trade deal yet, the U.K. is set to leave the European Union at the end of January and President Trump faces reelection next November. The global economy has also cooled, with factory activity in particular taking a hit around the world this year. But the level of anxiety that investors say they have about each of these threats seems far more subdued than was the case a year ago. The headwinds we experienced earlier in 2019 from the trade wars and potential problems with Brexitthose headwinds have diminished sharply, said Chris Rupkey, chief financial economist and managing director at MUFG. Adding to that, fears of a recession in the U.S. have eased, thanks to a resilient labor market and signs of solid consumer spending. Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal are forecasting the economy will grow around 1.8% in 2020. That would mark a slowdown from prior years but nevertheless extend the longest economic expansion in U.S. history. Now that the coast is looking a little bit more clear for the economy, I think its okay to embrace risk here at this stage, Mr. Rupkey said. https://www.wsj.com/articles/global-stocks-mixed-on-last-day-of-exceptional-year-11577787736?mod=mhp --- New York Knicks, New York Jets, New York Yankees. |

We used to tax them until some crooks came along and rigged the system even worse than it already was. That graph is from the flawed study where they basically picked and chose data to bump up lower income taxes while reducing rich taxes to make this big headline to tout.

It also causes lots of evidence and basically implicates the assassins who are driving pretty easily. Doesn't make much sense when they used nerve agents for other assassinations which is more lethal and stealth. --- New York Knicks, New York Jets, New York Yankees. |

If only a third of freelancers work two jobs (20 years as a traditional freelancer suggests to me that's probably low), it's closer to 15%. I mean with your article you can't really show that is true though. I can't find any of their surveys saying "these workers have a W-2 job and then do freelance work" other than a "moonlighting freelancers" paragraph and that shows it declining to about 13% so you can say maybe 13% of those surveyed may work 2+ jobs if they also had a second job. Antifar posted... Much of the gains in manufacturing are UAW workers returning from their strike, fwiw That's true. Stripping that out still shows manufacturing jobs increased though about 11K over the 2 months which is better after the weak job numbers the months before (assuming the 43K loss was just reversed). --- New York Knicks, New York Jets, New York Yankees. |

It's pretty straightforward-- most freelancers aren't traditional freelancers, they work through unions or apps (fiverr, Uber, etc.) We have those numbers. I tend to disregard a portion of those, because IMO doing odd jobs through fiverr isn't a "job," but even without those you're looking at over 50 million Americans.
