Once upon a time, investors priced stocks using discounted cash flows and other nifty valuation techniques. P/E ratios made sense and crazy chit like that.
Cheap and cheaper relative to what? Yesterday’s less cheap price? Betting on price movement is today’s “investing”. A little reckoning is good for the Benjamin Graham souls.

The stock market is a Ponzi scheme invented by boomers so they don’t have to pay you a pension

The stock market has been around a lot longer than boomers.

Warren Buffett quote.
Over the long term it is inevitable because the fed prints,prints,prints.
Not so much a case of assets appreciating as much as the dollar being systematically destroyed.
Why else would a brand new house in 1950 sell for 5k, and then 70 years later sell for 500k when it has old pipes, wiring, and is falling apart.
The house itself depreciated, it's a pos now.

You’re two thirds right about this. Buildings DO depreciate and the dollar HAS been devalued. The third (and possibly most important) leg of the value equation, though, is the LAND. Land in a good location will always appreciate. Faster than inflation and faster than material decay.
A house in a premier part of Houston is worth multiples more than it was seventy years ago because of the land’s location. You could buy the lot and level the house and still be money ahead just from the land appreciation.

So the brick walls and the hardwood floors of the 1950 house are just as functional as they were in 1950. The old pipes have been replaced. The old wiring has been replaced. The house provides the commodity of shelter to it’s residents, just exactly as it did in 1950.
The cost of the commodity of shelter has risen dramatically since 1950, that and the appreciation of the land are why the home’s value has appreciated.

Over the long term it will bc of capitalism, not because of the Fed.
But to your point, it’s our government who is destroying the dollar due to their spending habit. The Fed is just covering their arse by printing the money for them.

Overwhelming majority of Americans were not in the stock market until the end of pensions and the rise of 401ks as an alternative retirement mechanism. The point stands. Maybe boomers not wanting to pay pensions didn’t invent the stock market, but they certainly brought it to the masses.

Bear markets happen every 3.5 years on average since 1929. Anyone trying to time purchases in a bear market to do it at the bottom is playing a losers game. Unless you have information of Wall Street, ,most investors should just continue DCAing in stocks during ups and downs.

Yes, because young people have so much free cash flow in recessions/bear markets.
What do you think causes a bear market, exactly?

The investment horizon is more important than the amount when you're young. The point is to invest something, whatever you can, starting as soon as you can when you begin your career. Coming in at a low point doesn't hurt.

Yes millenial keep putting your chicken feed into the boomer overlords pocket
Sorry we can’t pay you a pension and houses aren’t 20k but we will do a 5% 401k match
Also all chicks are fat now and want to travel instead of raise kids
