This chart literally shows the stagnation in purchasing power. Here’s another lens on it.
Real median family income indexed to 2020.
2019 = 103, 2024 = 105. Less than 2% increase in 5 years. 2025 inflation has outpaced wages so likely it will go down again

It’s because of the underlying volatility of the S&P hasn’t been bad the past 5 years, if we hit a sustained choppy spot the vol drag will murder your returns.
Check out this Tesla example. The 2x etf has returned less in the past year than the underlying, it’s because the stock is volatile

I’m getting pulled into the idea that the video last night was AI or heavily edited or something.
It looked weird, but most importantly he didn’t look like this or sound like he did today. Did he have a stroke this morning?

Biggest story in the unemployment report is that the revisions are crazy bad.
There were basically no jobs created in either month after

My big beef with this framing is objectively this is bad wage growth.
Objectively median household income grew faster under Trump than Biden. That’s where I can’t get behind the “economy actually good” rhetoric

Under Trump median HH income up 15% or so, under Biden flat.
Obviously there are explanations, but nobody is trying to hear pointy headed reasons why, they just want someone to fix it.
Trump is of course not that guy, but I think that’s basically how he won.

I’ve thought for a few years the real reason for the bad vibes is this. Half(ish) of Americans have seen 0 to negative real wage growth in 4 years.
And when you consider the end of the Covid subsidies, negative household income.
It also happens to be the loudest half of Americans.
