One of the most significant moments from the Trump Davos speech was when he said the quiet part out loud
You cannot lower housing costs for young people without destroying millions in wealth for boomers
"Every time you make it more affordable for somebody to own a house cheaply, you are actually hurting the value of those houses. I don't want to do anything to hurt the value of their house.
If I wanted to crush the housing market, I could do that so fast that people could buy houses. But you would destroy people who already have houses."
Our politicians are sacrificing people in their 20s and 30s for the prosperity of boomers
Let that sink in

Same in investing.

The S&P 500 is less than 2% away from all-time highs the day before a Fed decision.
Since 1980, there were 20 other times they cut rates within 2% of ATHs.
The S&P 500 was higher a year later 20 times.

A horrible mess for some private school parents who paid fees in advance to try to avoid Labour's VAT hike. And it's entirely the fault of the private schools and their associations.
A quick thread on how to avoid VAT successfully, and how the schools didn't..

The S&P 500 is actually in the middle of a fairly average bull market compared to history.
