The economy and the stock market are largely disconnected. For some people, life is quite similar. No major changes. Still employed, same hours, same scenario. But for millions, without the ballooning safety net provided by the government, they would starve. The stock market has risen considerably which of course is largely owned by a smaller group of people. Those people are enjoying the appreciation of their assets while the bulk of the population struggles to persist.

The Federal Reserve has created a stock market bubble. It was the intention all along of course. There has never been a time in which so much enthusiasm has been present while so many are struggling with basic essentials like food and housing. A grand disparity has formed and will always find it reverting to the mean.

Jobs are coming back. Jobs are plentiful. That’s what we were told. But the jobs were offshored. The primary sector for jobs is no longer manufacturing, it’s retail. Lower paying in many cases but now in 2020, it looks like retail just got a big stomping on which has accelerated its decline. That’s not a good scenario for future jobs.

The market took a dump. Does anyone even remember what a down day looks like? I didn’t realize the color red could even show up on the screen. Well, I guess the ol’ buy the dip strategy is on the table again. Buy everything, as long as its tech because apparently tech can’t lose, ever. Well, at least that’s what I tell myself…

Long time since I did a talking head video. Hope you enjoy it. Not something I prefer to do but felt like discussing some random issues. Would be interested to know if you wanted a rant on a particular topic for another time.

We have never seen such disparity. There have been wacky times in history but nothing has ever been so exaggerated. But no need to worry because as the masses have suggested, the Fed is there to save us all. Right?

This is what the future looks like. You’ll see this today of course, but every street corner will be filled with those who fell into the downward spiral. Every country today is going through a series of events that are always seemingly assisted by those in control. They’re helping us, they say. But meanwhile, they are really just causing the problem in the first place. But will the public ever wake up to this fact?
