Yea, after the pandemic I've stopped making any predictions about the stock market and bubbles.

It's clear we're living in an illusion, but I'm pretty sure there are enough people invested in that illusion that it won't stop until it is no longer physically possible to maintain. I'm increasing convinced that when whatever dream we're living in ends, it will end catastrophically, but I'm not even certain I'll live to see that happen.

A great work of art. One that identifies this spectrum of feeling. But one that should be taken with a grain of salt, a subjective arrangement of visual material as captured by the BBC.

It's less of an illusion but more that the reality is separating into two, one which we live and breathe as day-to-day working class/consumers and another that caters to the market makers of government & private sector.

All it takes is a couple hours of consumer sell-off to trigger a complete collapse.

Very true, and the hedge funds and institutional investors will have game plans for this, some will work, some won’t.

Retail investors, as usual, will be worst hit (I say this as a European with no stake in US stocks).

I believe their plan is to offload the risk to the chains. I've been asked by several firms if I would be interested in joining them - so I assume that want to lock up their assets on the chain or want to offload risk to it. I'm more keen on the latter.

Still - nobody make any sudden moves and we'll ride out what remaining value we can squeeze.

I think this expresses how many of us feel very eloquently.
