Stock Market Bubble: Google Trends vs. Market data

Is the market in a bubble? Is a stock market crash coming?

Aggregate macroeconomic data is not showing any sings of weakness for previous month. Would be interesting to see sentiment analysis of "stock market bubble is about to burst" discussion around 2013 compared to now. I recall there was a lot of worry back then that market was at all time high. If you recall, around 2013 a lot of investors and analysts were talking about moving to cash positions anticipating recession.

Seems silly in retrospect, that was so long ago. 2013 was year of IPhone 5 and the beginning of Obama's second term.

The data below represents 2004-2018.

above: Google Trends on "stock market bubble",. you can clearly see in 2013 (red circle) it becomes a hot topic as S&P reached pre recession high. This can be thought of as a "pessimism graph".

above: S&P 500 2004-current, notice the discussion correlates with S&P hitting pre-recession highs.

above: FRED unemployment data shows no signs of weakness.

above: S&P 500 volatility, lowest around 2013.

above: Here's the Google Trends graph for "stock market crash", similar pattern as the "stock market bubble" graph, but delayed.

Conclusion

Interestingly there seems to be no correlation between the discussion about a bubble/crash and the market itself. In fact it seems inverse, market is lowest volatility when discussion and pessimism is peaking. Before 2008 crash, it was a similar pattern, optimism was highest.

It may seem silly in hindsight, but to put this in perspective.. in 2013 this is all the information we had:

If we are to learn anything form this, is it to ignore the financial forecasters, doomsday callers and highly opinionated analysts.

How to get anything on EBAY for free (and get away with it)

This article explains how to get anything for free on Ebay. This is very simple, proven and guaranteed to work. You can get, for example, an IPhone 4, a 64GB IPad 2, or even a Macbook Pro laptop for free. 1. If the seller does not use delivery confirmation, you already won. Just tell ebay you never received the item. They will always side with you (bhe buyer) and refund your money, including shipping, AT THE SELLER'S EXPENSE. There is nothing the seller can do. Ebay will not investigate further, they close the case. I have hard numerous reports of this happening. See this facebook thread and this article . The buyer now has no item, no money, and in addition he is out the cost of shipping. Totally screwed. 2. If you are dealing with a savvy seller, they will use delivery confirmation. Don't worry, you can still get your item for free. After you receive the item, open a case and claim the item broken. Let's use an IPhone 4 as an example. Open a claim and say the me...

How to hot start a Cirrus SR22

The SR22 does not like to normally start when the engine is hot. I use a simple procedure to hot start my SR22. My Method 1. Prime 5 seconds 2. Throttle 1/4" open, mixture cutoff. 3. Start cranking and slowly advance mixture. 4. Once engine starts to fire, go mixture rich. Honestly I developed this through trial and error, I don't know exactly why it works but it does. I think this works because the prime step pumps cold fuel through the system to cool it down. Then cranking the engine with mixture cutoff pushes all the fuel and air bubbles out of the system, leaving room for clean fuel to be pumped in through cold fuel lies. CPPP Method At the 2015 CPPP in Williamsport we learned about another trick. Hot engine means hot fuel lines, which vaporize fuel (literally, fuel boils, air bubbles form). Engine doesn't want to start with part fuel part air being pumped in. You must cool down your fuel lines first. 1. Throttle closed, mixture cutoff. 2. Run boost pum...
