In a new bull market, you tend to see things like housing, airline, copper, and industrial stocks lead the rally. Meanwhile, energy, utility, and healthcare stocks tend to lag – exactly what’s happening today.
Typically, when inflation rises sharply, stocks plummet. Conversely, when it falls sharply, stocks tend to rocket. And inflation is collapsing right now.

When inflation crashes, stocks pretty much always soar for about 12 months. Inflation is crashing right now, so it’s very likely that stocks soar over the next 12 months.

In fact, given the dynamics at play today, we think that 2023 will be a record year for the stock market.

Once the US distribution centre opens, I think it's highly likely we'll see a lot of buying activity by US investors and possibly US institutional investors as well. Shorts closing, inflation cooling, interest rates set to begin coming down later this year, Asia already officially in a bull market - Europe and the US expected to follow very soon, Germany and the UK yesterday announced both countries have so far avoided recession - that things aren't as bad as previously feared, huge new US distribution centre opening shortly... things are really looking up. Even a negative or mediocre update at this stage would do little to hold the share price down now.

LTH, I've posted just 3 times in the past month. I wouldn't call that "an awful lot of time". I occasionally follow this because depending on how things turn out, I may invest once the restructuring is complete, if and only if, I think there's money to be made. If you're bitter at losing money here, which you clearly are, try to understand others have just as much right to post here as you do.

Once the restructuring is complete, it'll be interesting to see if there's an investment opportunity here. The company has repeatedly warned existing holders risk "very significant dilution" (their words, not mine). I really don't see the point of being a holder right now - exposed to the massive dilution they risk being hit with by continuing to hold. For the LTHs sat on near 99% paper losses who have all but given up ever seeing their investment again, I can perhaps understand them holding "what's the point of selling when you're 99% down, might as well hold til the end and hope for a miracle". I can't understand newbies though, wanting to buy in ahead of the restructuring. Why on earth would you buy now and risk massive dilution? If this ever does "come good " it'll only "come good" for those newbies who buy in once the restructuring is complete. That's assuming this ever becomes a viable investment again.

Global shares have been lifted this year by optimism that central banks will slow interest rate increases, due to signs that inflation is cooling.

"Don't worry though, once I've sold my Easyjet holding I'll still be found on other BB's"

Reverse psychology? Troll your own investment in the hope it'll go up? Who you kidding Todd, you don't fool anyone.

Give it up Todd. The shares are booming back up, Asia is officially in a bull market - the US and Europe will soon follow. Germany and the UK today announced they are not in recession. The global situation is improving all the time. Things aren't as bad as feared. Spring and summer will see boom time returning for the airlines. Nobody in their right mind would be shorting the airlines now.

The airlines continue to bounce back hard. All airline stocks are up and show no sign of slowing down. RTN sells a lot of food and snacks at the airports - it's only a matter of time before the airline boom rubs off on RTN and the shares begin to boom.

FTSE nearing all time highs - the coming bull run will see it smash through 8,000 for the first time and perhaps hitting 10,000 later next year, by which time the dow could hit 40,000. Things are finally beginning to look much more bullish than they have done for a very long time, since before the pandemic.

Gavin "Todd" Shipman, account number 2. So what were you banned for Todd? And we're you not aware opening a new account after a ban is against chat rules? Perhaps LSE should take a closer look?

Germany and the UK have avoided recession. This wasn't expected. The markets like what they see, onwards and upwards!

Asian stocks enter bull market as investors bet on China
Stocks in Asia are starting 2023 in a bull market. Investors have been cheered by China's pivot away from its zero-Covid policy, the ending of its crackdown on tech companies and Beijing's renewed commitment to growing the world's second biggest economy.

The MSCI Asia Pacific index, which excludes Japanese companies, jumped 2.5% during Tuesday trading to close the day at 535.69 points. That's up 24.6% since its most recent low on October 24.

A bull market is typically defined as a rise of 20% above recent lows.

Stocks are back in a bull market as global economic outlook is improving, says market veteran Ed Yardeni
Stocks are back in a new bull market thanks to an improving global economy, according to Ed Yardeni.
He pointed to factors like lower natural gas prices and China's reopening, which could boost stocks.
He says the market bottomed in October, and stocks are on a new uptrend despite some volatility.
Stocks are back in a bull market as the global economic outlook is improving, according to market veteran Ed Yardeni.

"I think we made a low on October 12 in the market. I think that was the end of the bear market. And I think we're back in a bull market. Not straight up, a lot of volatility, but I think the markets are telling us the world economy is improving," Yardeni said in an interview on Wednesday with Bloomberg.

Boohoo acquiring a big stake was big news for REVB hence it resulted in a big jump in the REVB share price. But it wasn't a big deal for Boohoo hence the share price barely responded on the news. Whatever happens to REVB, good or bad, it's not a big enough deal to move the boohoo share price. Boo is a giant, REVB is a minnow. Having said that it's great boohoo is continually looking to expand the portfolio - the company is continually growing and expanding and that's ultimately going to be good for the share price.

Bought a few k in this the other day @ £3.89 average. Can see it doubling before the end of this year. Asian markets are officially in a new bull market and Europe and the US will follow soon. Optimism is returning to the markets, 2023 has already gotten off to a good start, and as more and more investors pile in for fear of missing out, that'll only push share prices up even higher. Take your positions now. 2023 will be a great year for the stock market.

Parsnip, ASOS and boohoo are both massively oversold. Even a mediocre update would be enough to cause a significant relief rally. The new US distribution centre opens soon - plus global markets are at last turning bullish. There's no question the bottom has already been hit - around 33p a few weeks ago. Many stocks hit the bottom at around exactly the same time - around the end of December. You won't see those kind of prices again. Right now, investors are in denial we're entering a bull market. Soon, there'll be no doubt we are as prices widely begin to move significantly higher. What will happen then is more and more investors will begin to pile in for fear of missing out. And what that will do is accelerate the rise increasingly rapidly. 2023 has already gotten off to a good start, but as the year goes on momentum here and elsewhere will really begin to pick up.

The airlines are bouncing back hard - seems likely food sales at the airports will very much be on the up as well? I can see RTN shares really beginning to gather pace soon.

"in the short term the stock market is a voting machine, in the long term it is a weighing machine" - Ben Graham

There's your answer noggers. You can attempt to trade it - in which case you'll make short term profits, sometimes you'll trade it right, other times you'll wish you hadn't sold when you did. Each time you trade, you rack up more and more dealing fees.

Or you could do what Buffet and Munger would do - sit back and do absolutely nothing for X number of years. You'll make far more money simply holding for the long term. In a bull market you make the biggest money by buying low and then being a very patient, inactive trader.
