It’s not normal for everything to rise at the same time. Market intervention has resulted in central bankers becoming the owners of the world. Literally. They’re buying up every asset while posing as the saviours.
In your opinion, do you believe that things will turn around, central banks will lose their power, and the citizens will regain their economic freedom?
Valuations are off the charts right now. Stocks, bonds, and real estate are all at record highs. This is a historical anomaly. But certainly, rules can be broken sometimes. It seems as though however, all of this rise cannot be sustained without trillions of central bank intervention. Hmmm… could it be?
