?CNBC article: A growing list of companies from FedEx to BMW are warning about the world economy

Executives at FedEx, BMW, UBS and others are describing bleak macroeconomic conditions, which they say are weighing on business.

The head of UBS says it was ?one of the worst first-quarter environments in recent history,? while FedEx cites slowing international conditions and weaker global trade growth trends.

Fitch Ratings also "aggressively" cut its 2019 global forecast this week. But the firm's economics team stopped short of calling a global recession.?

Just to be clear, CNBC reported what Fedex mentioned in the earnings calls. Also other big companies issued similar warnings....

The rest of the world is slowing down faster than the US, especially Europe.  If we do get a recession, there will be rate cuts followed by more bond buying by the Fed.  Interest rates will be back in the low 3s on the 30-year fixed and in the low to mid 2s for the 7 and 10 year arm loans.

I don't know that we can have a recession until we see the job market turn.  That being said, in terms of the stock market the old adage holds true....DON'T FIGHT THE FED.

I posted last August that Chinese economy is getting really bad and Chinese home buying in Irvine are slowing. Almost nobody on this forum believed it would have any effect on Irvine home prices. It's funny to me now, barely half a year later, almost everyone is a believer.

Things changed so quickly  :D
 
now, prices will have to be supported by what domestic buyers can afford (fall in line with incomes)
I think that's better for Irvine as a community, even though it doesn't do me any good as a homeowner.

You should see the bloodbath in the mansion market in Arcadia.  >:D schadenfreude

 
All I have to say is dont fall prey to

Recency Bias

Confirmation Bias

when I made my prediction about not worrying about ?rate rise? and buying the short dated treasuries at 3 percent , they weren?t popular ideas . Every loudmouth on CNBC and ?financial advisors ? running chickenshit were telling clients to prepare for ?rising rates ? . 

Housing is bottoming out here . If not , then you should be selling everything else also and moving into cash .

I?m creating a new thread. Economic Slowdown
 
Recession is coming!
An inverted yield curve, where short-term yields are higher than their longer-term counterparts, is considered a reliable recession signal.

What do you guys think?

Have we had a slowdown recently?

Are we still in it or we recovered?

Do you think tax returns with new Trumps laws will have significant impact on the market?

If so, up or down?

Trump adviser says revision of SALT-deduction cap won't happen

President Donald Trump?s chief economic adviser, Lawrence Kudlow, on Wednesday threw cold water on the president?s suggestion he would be open to revising the $10,000 cap on state and local tax deductions.

?I don?t expect to see the tax reform opened up,? Kudlow said at the Christian Science Monitor breakfast meeting with reporters. ?I doubt it. I doubt it very much.?

Kudlow was referring to the tax law passed by Republicans in Congress in December 2017. Among other things, it placed a $10,000 limit on state-and-local tax deductions (called SALT) ? virtually guaranteeing a significant federal tax hike for New York homeowners in the middle and upper income brackets.

It is out the door indeed.

Anyone got a less return/owe more this year (technically last year)?

Same.

For some reason, I'm getting more return than expected. Then again, there were many different things happened in 2018. Or maybe because I don't own a huge SFR with a driveway like you guys?  :)

But seriously, if the majority of the people are not getting this tax advantage of owning a home, wouldn't that also be an impact on the housing market? I believe eyephone brought this up before.



 
My tax LIABILITY went down in 2018 with the new tax law reform.  No point in talking about whether you owe more or less.  It's the liability against your income that matters.  The expanded tax bracket, changes in child credit, and AMT all outweighed the SALT deduction cap for me.

Yeah, so I guess I should have said more clearly.
Does this new tax law make you pay more tax?
Is it making you owning a home less desirable?

Plain and simple. A home is no longer a vehicle to reduce taxes for an average person.
