This drives me nuts too. I learned years ago that these new articles are largely written by fresh out of college employees. Lots of articles even use bots to generate a good portion of the content.

Combined with bias in the media you can almost never gauge what it really going on unless you are extremely familiar with the sector and company.

Almost all the daily financial summary articles you read on Yahoo, Seeking Alpha, Motley Fool are bot generated.

I'll be surprised if the S&P 500 doesn't hit 6,000-10,000 before 2030.

Interest rates over the last 10 years have been the lowest ever in American history, not to mention the massive QE between 2008 and 2020 pandemic. Couple that with a growing awareness of personal finance and investing, the 20's has potential for some of the most aggressive growth ever seen.

Money printing is just another safety net for the rich

It’s pretty obvious it devalues the dollar in the process, but who cares if Joe billionaire can buy back a blue chip stock and 3-5x his money.

Yachts and 100k per bottle champagne don’t care about your 401k

Literal money printing destroys everybody, including rich people. It can affect them worse because they're usually leveraged to the hilt as well.

It's all made up anyways so wheres the surprise on the complete lack of logic or sense? Money is not real, stocks are not real and so on it's all just data flowing and being processed. It's not a joke it's just a collective fantasy that we all choose to accept and follow. Of course oligarchs and the powerful have a better hand at the game but in the end the "global economy" is a mythical entity at this point that exists in its own metaphysical plane.

Don't try to understand it just get a lambo bro

lol wot.

You're probably talking about the low lying billionaires and millionaires. Whats happening is massive concolidation where the Bigs get bigger and the small and medium guys get destroyed.

Vast amounts of wealth transfer has occurred and continues to happen.

You think the owners of Walmart, target, Amazon and other big monopoly-tier companies are losing out or going to lose out if a stock market crash happens? Um...no. Corporate debt will continue onwards, even in a crisis.

You, yourself, this whole big drama, it was never more than a jerry rig of presumption and dumb will, and you could just let go. To finally know that you didn't have to hold on so tight. To realize that all your life, all your love, all your hate, all your memories, all your pain, it was all the same thing. It was all the same dream, a dream that you had inside a locked room, a dream about being a person.

Harder to do, but even more efficient is to buy the same number of shares on a consistent basis (weekly/monthly/quarterly) regardless of price.

Monetary inflation (i.e. printing money - NOT QE) eventually leads to a higher prime rate (unless the gov't wants bread to be $1000/loaf), which means debt costs are higher, combine that with currency devaluation and that's the inflation that most people are familiar with.

Real estate, land, company investments that pay dividends

They’re not heavily leveraged in stocks like the average pleb who pays half his paycheck into an IRA

When I say safety net I mean there’s a vested interest in making sure the markets are strong to attract global investors into certain sectors. When stocks are good, the rich get richer because investor confidence is high

It’s more about making sure the rich get richer. Excuse the anti capitalist sentiment

There is a very strong disincentive for businesses to own unmortgaged real estate. Not sure what a "company investments that pay dividends" are, unless you're referring to, um, stocks.

I think this is totally out of your realm.

You do know most stocks are still way down compared to where they fell off a cliff back in March.

There was a severe overreaction to covid and a correction was inevitable.
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

You’re talking about individual billionaires as if they are corporate entities

I’m talking about what the rich are investing in personally. Stock options are just a small piece of the pie. I mean they’re diversified into multiple business investments that give them a regular return. I.e. they aren’t as leveraged into stocks as you think, because they don’t need to be when they’re worth billions. Hence “money printing” and “safety net” in my original post

Owning profitable areas of the supply chain or manufacturing in growing sectors for example =\= stocks

Anyone who has driven a Tesla knows how ****ty they are. Jelly of bros got got in the money laundering scheme and got rich but I’ve always been to scared bc of how shady they are. Did real well with Pltr and some other stuff though so whatever

I'm really not sure how "land" is an investment, it sits there generated income unless you put something on it, and you're taxed on it no matter what.

In the USA, once you run of out personal tax reduction/deferral options, it is best to place the rest into a corporation.

I don't think you know what the word "leveraged" means, it means that money was borrowed to purchase the item, not the percentage of their asset mix, which is what you seem to think it means.

You also don't understand what "money printing" means, best you stay out of south america.

Land can be seen as an investment if it appreciates in value. And I guess also if it depreciates..it would just be a bad investment at that point, but still an investment.

Just bought Wells fargo and Mastercard.
With the American economy going to turn around quick in 2021 I think this stock has been undervalued, have been keeping an eye on them for a while but finally pulled the trigger on both today. Can see Wells being up 30-40% in 12 months. With a dividend of only 1.40% a dividend increase 2021 is almost a certainty, which should result in a nice little bump.
