The narratives:

It's a K-shaped economy

Young ppl are screwed

Only the rich are thriving

I get it but think we're taking this too far

What if things are better than they seem on social media?

3 options to fix a broken housing market:

1. 50 year mortgages (not that helpful)

2. One time 3% mortgage for anyone who missed out (not bad)

3. Build more housing (we're deregulating everything else but not this for some reason)

3 reasons we can't have another 1929:

1. There are more rules in place (no SEC, FDIC back then)

2. The stock market is way more important (1-2% of households owned stocks in 1929)

3. Policymakers have learned from past crises

In the Roaring 20s Benjamin Graham turned $400k into $2.5 million

After the crash from 1929-1932 the $2.5 million turned into just $375k

In his memoir Graham wrote about how hubris was the cause of his losses

In the 1950s the S&P 500 was up ~500% or almost 20% per year

It's the only mega bull market to end w/a whimper not a bang

There was no crash in the aftermath

The 1960s saw 8% annual returns

Not all good things end badly

Will the wealth effect make things worse?

Will young ppl stay invested?
