The Rebound Brings Investing Opportunity
Here’s the not-so-bad news: We are nearing a bottom. Housing prices are falling, but not as rapidly. Consumer confidence is up. Banks are earning money. The stock market in April had its best month in nine years. Even Nouriel Roubini, the New York University professor known for his dire (极糟糕的) economic predictions, thinks we are on the mend. Sort of.
That’s not to say the recession is over. Roubini sees the road to recovery as a long and fluctuating one, with unemployment rising toward 12%. So don’t trade in your emergency fund for a boat. But when it comes to your investing life, it’s time to get backing to the water. And the question is: How do we ever get back the money we lost?
It depends on what type of recovery we have. Since the market bottomed on March 9, investors have rushed into acquiring shares of financial companies, retailers and technology firms. That makes sense if you believe we will have a recovery like the ones we’ve had in recent history. Companies in those industries did well in the market rallies (恢复) that followed recessions in the 1990s and the early part of this decade. And stocks handily outperformed (胜过) bonds.
But the current recession has been deeper and longer than the past two. "It’s a very different story today," says First Eagle’s Jean-Marie Eveillard, one of the few managers to produce positive returns when stocks plunged earlier this decade. "The landscape is different, and the recovery, when it comes, probably won’t be along the lines of what we have seen in the post-World War II period." For the past few decades, the easiest call in economics was to predict a V-shaped recession—one that bottoms and rebounds quickly, it’s basically all we’ve had. Only two of the 11 recessions since the end of World War II have lasted more than a year, and nearly all wound up with a boom. Consumers stocked up. Companies upgraded their computers. We piled into real estate. And predicting a V may be the right call a gain. With the government spending billions on economic stimulus—trillions, if you include the bank fix—a quick pullout is entirely possible. In that case, buying retailers, technology companies and financial firms makes sense.
But at 16 months and counting, this recession looks more and more U-like—one in which a rebound takes time. That’s the picture Roubini is painting. He says no, amount of government stimulus can make us shoppers again—we have too much debt. When paychecks resume or start to grow again, lenders will get that cash, not retailers. Consumer spending made up as much as 70% of the economy before the bust. With less shopping, Roubini says, there is little chance for a quick rebound. [br] In time of the 1990s recession, what would people probably do when recovery had come according to the passage?
选项
A、Buy stocks and homes.
B、Keep money for emergency.
C、Repay your debt with paycheck.
D、Try to find a new job.
答案
A
解析
推理判断题。由题干中的1990s recession定位到第三段最后一句可知,在20世纪90年代的经济衰退之后,股票的收益远远超过证券;同时第五段提到,过去几十年中发生过的经济衰退(当然包括20世纪90年代那次)时说,当经济开始复苏时We pile into realestate。从以上可以推断出,处在当时的情况下的话,很可能会和很多人一样拿钱去买股票和房产,故[A]为正确答案。[B]是在第二段中罗比尼给眼下的人们的建议,故排除;[C]是在最后一段中罗比尼对当前形势的判断:即使你的工资继续或开始增长,这些钱也会到债主的手里,故排除;[D]在文中没有体现,故排除。
