If any Freeper could correctly time the stock market they would be billionaires.

The raising of interest rates should have crashed the stock market by now since the cost of capital has increased 5% in the last couple of years.

Apparently the basic rules of economics no longer apply.

My conclusion is that we live in a “rigged” economy—and if you are not a member of the fight club there is no way to know the rules of the fight club.

Why are you talking yourself out of prosperity with these failure fantasies, my friend?

I read a story somewhere that talked about the fact that the feds had contingency plans that had contingency plans that never saw the light of day back in 2008-2009. In plain words, they had multiple plans to keep the economy afloat that were never implemented. Most of the "crash" scenarios are nothing more than the masturbatory fantasies of the cowardly "2%", "Oathbreakers" and "Pride Boys" types who love talking about moloning the labia. Oh, and Glenn "Buy Gold and Patriot Supplies" Beck.

Companies benefit from inflation... They can raise their prices and the value of their non-cash assets increases. It’s naive to think there is a negative connotation.
