my take is no. macro trends are anyone’s guess but my simplified logic is: We are in for a long period of non-zero rates to combat higher inflation. covid accelerated the shift to the digital world and the retirement of boomers. the shift to digital makes it tougher to recruit labor, especially lower level, in person, manual labor, hence why there is a shortage. in labor shortage, employees get the bargaining power, driving wages up and further increasing prices as they can spend more. not to mention companies raise prices when labor is more expensive. more retirement shifts money from savings (invested in assets like stocks) to being spent in the real world. all of this is creating higher prices, which will require higher rates to slow inflation. the “overvalued” stock market and 0% rate world we had for the years up to covid is gone and we are in for a period of lower equity valuations. profitability of companies will be key going forward as raising capital will be tough for an extended period of time. im a buyer of value, commodities, and anything with a nice dividend

Went from 2k-8k cause I bought November amazon puts in early august. Still holding and looking to make 20k when amazon hits 95. Expecting mkts to AT LEAST test June lows and high probability of going lower before a short killing bounce. Keep in mind I'm an idiot and just an s&t intern lol
