That's why Blackrock pivoted to real estate, it was a check on policy. Tech bros are lobbying to keep H1Bs, sure, but they have traction because the stock market is propped up by AI stocks. America First policies are not being put in place because Boomers will freak out if their 401ks are slashed. It is the ultimate poison pill. They are destroying this country over it.

Bingo. Saw on Fox this morning that the top 10% of income in the country own 90% of the stocks.

Based on current market valuations and margin in the system 401Ks will likely get smashed eventually. It's not a matter of if but when.

Of course

The bottom 50 can barely afford to buy any at all and the people in between 50 and 90 percentile are all strapped with debt

Trump just said we need foreign workers because Americans don’t have the skills necessary. Yet, H1Bs are primarily lower level, junior positions and are trained at our colleges and universities. This is and always has been about finding cheap labor to compete in the world’s market.

Yes, even in the interview I posted, the recommendation all along was to soft implode the economy and RE markets, which would absolutely start a wealth transfer from boomers to younger folks but TRUMP decided to pull up the ladder.

The stock market keeps rising because of inflation. They are prices and when the value of the dollar drops, prices go up.

And this is one of the lamest excuses I've heard since peoples 401's get hit all the time by large amounts.

Blackrock pivoted to real estate because it's fighting the loss of value through inflation. Real estate and hard assets like it are the best way to hold value in times of high inflation.

They even overpay for the properties by with the knowledge that inflation is going to be extreme for many years to come.

And of course, with renters they are paying for themselves as well in the process.

Huh? Blackrock has been in real estate for decades, owning and managing commercial RE in Manhattan, etc.

And have pivoted to buying houses as well. It’s not just commercial real estate any longer. In fact, commercial real estate is taking a big hit; hence, the pivot.
