I got a dumb question since I’m hearing stories like this all over the place. If if it isn’t material shortages, it’s labour shortages or something with the infrastructure has fallen down and can’t get up..... Why are real estate and the stock market rolling along?
Assets. Folks are buying assets.
People trying to exchange paper money for anything else before it takes a wheelbarrow full of dollars to buy a loaf of bread?
Because the dirty little secret, becoming less and less secret as things get crazier and crazier, is that there is a War going on, and it's coming to a head. The war is, at least on the surface, not "hot". A good deal of it is being fought digitally, and in the news, and in the minds of the citizens of every nation. It's being fought in the supply chains, schools, hospitals...with the mandates and jabs, lockdowns. It's ALL related at some level, because they are ALL battlefronts.
Welcome to the war between the Great Reset and the Great Awakening.
I'm betting on the Great Awakening coming out on top, but it's going to get a LOT worse before it gets better. But, better it WILL BE.
NCSWIC. Nothing. WW.
Tangible assets. Where else can you put cash that will grow? My investments are growing in those two areas. When you own stock, you own a piece of a company that has assets, hopefully one that is productive and growing. Everything else is going to the crapper now. Material shortages mean that someone will be making these materials and someone will work to supply them - eventually. In the meantime, invest in the right companies that will survive. The stock market is due for a correction, which will recover given time, but anything can happen due to uncontrollable influences (primarily a demented Joe). Scary times ahead.

In 2006 and 2007 I kept asking the same thing about R/E; how can people keep paying these prices. Then the bottom dropped out.
“ Why are real estate and the stock market rolling along?”
Usury.
Always been a sin. Used to be a crime.
NOw it’s the basis of the economy.
Many XYZs didn’t own a home. They rented lux apartments. Can you imagine life with the a wife, husband, dog, and most likely by now a baby/toddler in an apartment during lockdown and working from home...? Many were going bat crazy. Cabin fever.
Many of my clients that moved during 2020, bought homes where they could have TWO offices, separate playroom area for kids, etc. They bought and scaled into the ‘new normal.’ Mistake? Only time will tell for now.
Second as already mentioned: hard assets.
Third, all these shortages are leading to something we have not experienced before and are just now starting to under the new monetary system...there is a hidden deflationary cycle afoote being masked over right now by all the inflation talk. In a deflationary cycle/spiral, hard assets is the best place to be. Land, real estate, better farmable land.
Minor shortages cause inflation, prolonged shortages of enough goods and products will trigger a deflationary spiral. China has major issues in their energy and real estate markets, news today is they just closed a big chunk of plants that refine aluminum and magnesium. Markets are screaming for this supply, China just said...No.
Controlled economic war forcing a deflation. China doing this under Trump I wasn’t worried. He’s business, he is and was the leader we need now. Under Biden, the democrats could not have found a worse candidate for the position in a crisis like this. Dementia and a VP that couldn’t even get through the primaries...useful voter idiots.
As my Aunt said before she died regarding all the investments...’it is all just paper until you cash it in.’

The Biden Embargo
Did you realize Biden's policies have created a purposeful embargo of our country? What president embargoes his own country? A marxist, globalist technocratic psychopath, thats what kind. I’m learning a lot from that channel.
