https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNFOdbxvv1YI have low understanding of economics but I believe we should be watching out for this. I have little idea why investors are "running out money" and where those are all being diverted. Last time something like this happened though, a crash followed. They just kept telling people "It's fine, nothing to worry about" and then the house of cards collapse and we're left out in the cold while they were able to get their money out prior to it.
Its a bubble. The US stock market is in its all time highs and unless theres new money coming in then it cant go any higher and crash. But its normal and its an unavoidable part of the economic cycle. You also want the crash to happen because its another chance for you to create wealth by taking advantage of the low prices.
The cycle creates wealth only for a niche group of investors who either know the symptoms of an impending crash or outright insider information. I know that their strict regulations against it but hugely doubt that people don't benefit from it. Not everybody gets caught right.
So, this group of niche investors, traders make their money before the crash and stock up cheap as a majority of small investors then sell at a loss. How else could you explain traders getting richer and richer, getting higher bonuses while most people keep losing their savings. Its money and it has to be a zero-sum game. Sure some of the common folks profit from it but i think the majority loses in the short term.
Stocks go up for common people only in the long term and then the returns aren't that great when adjusted to inflation. It works pretty well i think, trickle down economics. The smaller people only get the trickle..!
