I feel the same way looking at the stock market these days. Those evaluations are way too high, and the market index is mostly just a handful of tech companies that dominate the value. This can't end well.

H-ha ha, d-don't you know there's no such thing as a tech bubble built on hype??

What scares me even more is that it might not behave like a bubble. I feel like the fed won't let bubbles pop like they're supposed to and let the market return to sane levels. It's too painful and too many rich people stand to lose so money if the value drops. They'll break out the money printers and make line go up.

The cost will be born by the workers. That's what I'm concerned about from a macro scale.

The magic phrases are

  • quantitative easing
  • bailout
  • despite losing 50% of its value this year, the dollar is still strong
