haha i really dont know why everyone says we're in a bubble. Our market is priced very fairly for where interest rates are. The SPY yield exceeds the 10 year, and the forward earnings on the SPY isn't that bad. When rates go up, stocks need to go down but rates aren't going up anytime soon

Bank of America finally passed the stress test after failing it the first two times.

Within minutes of the Fed's announcement, the CEO of BAC announced the bank is raising its dividend (the first time since the 2008/2009 financial mess) 50% and also beginning a $5 billion stock buy back.

BAC's stock price is up about 5% from where it opened this morning.

Record corporate buybacks, dwindling earnings- which are their own problem (non-GAAP "creativity"), all built in a zero rate environment. Call it what you want, but that's a bubble IMO.

C is priced below its tangible book value, how is that a bubble? If anything buybacks are the responsible thing to do for them.

Did Yellen really say this - this week?

quote:

Also in Yellen's own words: Caution equities are Significantly expensive and overvalued. By some metrics, more so than in 2008 preceding the Great Recession.


Getting this 2nd hand. Can't find a good source.

Where did that info come from? I seriously doubt Yellen said that even if she believed it, she seems to be very cautious with her words knowing that the markets are listening to her.

Not to mention there is proof of that statement being false otherwise

No, she didn't. Not recently, at least. She something about the stock market being overvalued over a year ago.

Last week in her testimony to congress she was asked "whether the U.S. central bank's monetary policy is tied to boosting Wall Street's equity values."

Her answer was, "We do not target the level of stock prices," she said. "That is not an appropriate thing to do." LINK

For you to post this now tells me you're probably shorting the market....

Not that what she says means a damn, but just curious..

Are you saying; she recently stated that the market was overvalued a year ago (but not now), or a year ago she said that market was overvalued (at that time).

Either way, fundamentals have gotten worse from a year ago.

Not here. Only bank I'd buy personally is JPM.

I'm not a fan of bank stocks though. Much better places to park money IMO.

Bank's I'm currently holding are WFC, JPM, RF, and UBS.

My position on Regions and UBS is only because I was able to get them reaaaal cheap last week. I will probably hold onto RF a little longer than UBS, but RF stability with O&G makes me real nervous with it.
