The average person has seen their real net worth decline over the past two decades. Despite record level intervention by both the central banks and governments, the average person has not seen the benefits of a devalued currency. Those who are in the 1% and higher group have seen much of the wealth transferred to them. This goes beyond a timeframe that most investors look to. Beyond just the 10 year timeline. This isn’t a 401k type investor either. When you look at the massive financial corporations, where money has moved to and from, you see a massively different strategy than what the average household is doing and of course, for most people an upcoming recession will result in the evisceration of their retirement accounts and leave them with nothing.
Edward Lawrence on Twitter: “The latest: the Chinese delegation worked late into the evening. They went back and forth on if they are staying or not for Friday talks. The sense is that the moves this week with the Entity list and VISA restrictions soured the atmosphere. They could still stay depends on today”
