Perfect example is JNJ. Released quarterly earnings released today, crushed analyst consensus for earnings and EPS and announced first stock buyback in a long time. One of the analysts even remarked on the earnings call "...best quarter he's seen from the company in a long time." Bloomberg even on-site basically circle-cranking with CEO/CFO live interviews on air today.NewlyRetired said:The stock market goes up, the stock market goes down.So the whole world is going to look like Zimbabwe in about 6 months or so? $70 loafs of bread? $40 ball cream?
It is unpredictable when things happen, as evidenced by this thread, over and over again, but we are certainly due for a down cycle eventually. When and how long I will leave to the guys with the crystal balls.
Stock was also highlighted as Bloomberg's biggest loser at the closing bell on the Dow today, dropping 2.1%.
Markets = irrational.
