Number has never cared about regular people or the economy. Number only reflects how good companies are doing, and the largest companies are doing better than ever.

companies aren't doing good either, it's only the largest ones that are doing any good, and some of the "largest" like tesla are not even large AND are not doing good

stonks are artificially inflated by made up money, making actual valuation impossible

i don't understand what you're supposed to do after you start printing money at that rate. we picked up the pace after 2008 crash and never stopped and then threw it into overdrive in march and continue to increase

rich people will buy up all the assets, inflating the prices of everything rich people buy (houses, stock) and make it even less attainable for normal people to purchase.

one would hope so but it's basically on china to destroy it at this point

it's still used for all global financial transactions, defacto petrodollar, and has wormed it's way into everyone countrie's cranial lobe

feds still have a lot of printing they can do as long as the printed money goes directly into the rich people's wallet and stays there as funny speculative commodity investment money

I think the only realistic way "out" is to switch currencies

in totally unrelated news, bitcoin is exploding in valuation after institutional money is pouring into a new tether derivative or whatever

not if every other country does the same, which seems to be the plan

inflate every currency but make sure the rich get all of the newly created money so they can buy people's houses with it

its not going to happen overnight, but chinese leadership is now comitted to going from an export oriented economy to being the biggest consumer market in the world and its economic center. they're letting the yuan appreciate and are pushing for it to eventually become the new world reserve currency

The ECB has also been conducting a bunch of but the Euro still has been beating out the dollar just because of how much of a mess the US is at this point and it doesn't look like it is going to end anytime soon (look at our vaccination rates). Also, the RMB is very quickly becoming a reserve currency, and it is speculated it may be already 4-5% of global currency trading already.

That said, the market will probably continue to go up because the US has no plan B and that is only going to cause more of an issue later down the line since the stakes are only going to get higher. It is good for the market in the short term though...so I guess party on.
