It’s mote like bonds only give a static interest while inflation is skyrocketing past that interest rate, and stock give better returns. People are dumping low interest bonds to get to higher return investments.

“higher return investments”

Lol.

“Higher return” comes with higher risk associated with getting that return.

Over the long run it may work out but short term—watch out....especially if you don’t have deep pockets to weather any storm.

All the “professional financial advisors” pushing stocks because they give “higher returns” will run for cover if we get a real crash.

It has been fifteen years—we are overdue.

It is all fun and games until it is not.
