Zoom out. Really you don't have to zoom out far. We're at the same level we were at a week ago after a late week pump last week.

I dont think it wont ever recover

But it is absolutely possible at the same time

If the Democrats get what they want there wont even be a stock market anymore. Its called communism.

Your portfolio will be redistributed across the pool and everything will be nationalized

Have you ever heard of the Venezuela stock exchange? Me neither.

Has Biden's most diverse liar come out and said there was no inflation at all yet?

And the only reason it "works" at the scale we use it, is because we have the advantage of being the reserve currency

Correct and the dollar has lost 93% of its value since 1913, when we broke the system.

The Fed has a mandate to control both unemployment and inflation, its central planning. So there's no fix.

The last vestiges of "free enterprise" died in 1913.

This. I swear the sky is always falling.

It's not good but we've been here before. And much worse than before. Go back a year or so further..you're probably still up if you stayed in it.

We're on the doorstep of 1978 all over again. Good luck, if you missed it the first time.

The period from 1965 to 1982 was known as the "Great Inflation" and is the reason wages didn't keep up with inflation. We are there once again.

Does this sound familiar?

quote:

The Great Inflation was blamed on oil prices, currency speculators, greedy businessmen, and avaricious union leaders. However, it is clear that monetary policies that financed massive budget deficits and were supported by political leaders were the cause.

The cycle will continue as long as the monetary policy stays the same.

Politicians love stop gap measures which get them re-elected but those who follow years later have to deal with it.

I seem to recall the sticker price of a new Vette going up around $1500 from 1977 to '78. Around there anyway. This was on a $11k car.

Dad had bought new ones in '76 and '77 but didn't get another.

yeah, that's about the time auto makers started having problems. Feds bailed Chrysler out in 1979.

Which caused further problems down the road. Renewed relations with China, the opening of the Southern border and ridiculous "kick the can down the road" economic policy, we are still seeing the effects.

Fed mandates ensure that. Its a reactionary system and is set up for short term fixes, which keep having to happen.
