It looks like Eka has a birthday, I’ll congratulate them on the right day, unlike SijoitusSeppo. 
Eka has a great way of writing with a suitable critical tone (sometimes even a little provocatively 
) and humorously, perhaps even in a way that would make at least me on the “opposite side” sweat a little. 
P1 writes analytically and pleasantly personally, I believe many enjoy arguing with Eka. Happy Birthday @Pohjolan_Eka!

Perhaps we could continue this discussion here in the Coffee Room (Kahvihuone); I think these topics belong here more than in the Stock Market Direction (Pörssien suunta) thread. 
Thanks!

However, with the current mountains of debt, significantly higher interest rates probably won’t succeed. Even before, the FED has tried to talk the markets, which front-run everything, into believing that Thing X will happen “Any Moment Now” and earnestly hoped they wouldn’t actually have to do it…
And just to be clear, yes, they will raise interest rates during 2022, but the increases might be smaller than expected, or after a couple of sharp hikes, they might settle for slowing down again for a while if inflation can just be steered back in the desired direction.

Yesterday, I managed to make a +25% cash exit from the US market at still rising prices. By the end of the evening, I was already celebrating this quite a bit. Now, I’ve already set a small limit order in case there’s a really nice initial dip. We’ll see…

Why did you set Stockmann on fire? Some insurance payout scheme?

Are you still holding on to your oil stocks? If I recall correctly, you had a good position in them in your portfolio.
Another thing is, I don’t know if the moderators’ policy has changed after my month-long ban, but now it feels like every other message is moved from one thread to another in the middle of a discussion, which is admittedly disruptive. I understand the desire to keep threads “clean,” but I would hope for some discretion from the moderators, so that this moving isn’t done while a discussion is ongoing.

I like them. The appreciation in them is 99% and 75%. Constantly rising dividends. Now they yield an average of 9% per year and are only going up.
Edit: and with yesterday’s m-REIT (mortgage real estate investment trust) exit, the biggest holdings in the portfolio are big oil and tobacco.

That reminds me of a saying: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a rigged demo.”

Forecasting the future—whether macro or fundamental—is difficult. This is a fact. My only witness is Mr. Steve Ballmer 
Your honor, I rest my case.

Oh boy, US tech offered a dip again and it was bought 
A very nice V-curve in a relatively short timeframe.
The big boys made some money again at the expense of the paper hands.

Hopefully we’ll take another small dip down today. Tech fishing rods are rigged, let’s see if anything gets hooked.
I bet institutions are selling and retail investors (tuulipuvut) are trying to buy the dip again. Will they succeed this time?

I, on the other hand, guess the exact opposite. Where do institutions put their money from sales? Keep it as cash in this inflationary environment?

Well, it’s very human for people to panic-sell their shares for fear of a crash. Whether it comes or not.
