I laughed at git killed dead.

But honestly with the feds printing of money. Is the market ever really going to go down?

If earnings fall, the fed will simply print more money and the stock price will go up and people will feel like losers for not buying shitty companies because their friends did and are rolling in “on paper" profits.

And that’s the thing as long as the profits stay on paper and no one cashes out their bazillion dollar single Tesla share to buy 50,000 yachts.. this can go on forever.

As long as people are investing in the market long term, and have no intention of withdrawing that money the fed can indefinitely print literally unlimited money and make the imaginary number go up forever with no consequence or tie in to reality…

… until you try to take profits and realise the world hasnt manufactured 50,000 yachts for you to buy and to do so will cause such a spike in Yacht prices and thus labourer and construction prices and thus food prices… that we will enter general hyperinflation when the floodgates break open and the years of built up funny money flood out of the stock market and into the general economy.

My point is. As long as humans are happy watching the number go up.. happy about their wealth but never dream of cashing it out (because why would you? It doubles every year!).. this printing of money can go on forever.

These days besides property, there’s nothing really worth buying. Not with the kind of money that the stock market has inside of it.

And so it will continue to grow forever.
