You will know it's the absolute top when I finally decide to buy in. I have the gift of being able to buy the top.
extremely powerful way of framing the message actually - "if we can borrow from the rich to plug the gap in the budget, we can also tax the rich and achieve the same outcome"
Hi Gary, I finally got around to reading your book after following this channel for several years, and I could not put it down from start to finish. Keep fighting the good fight. Huge respect for your story and what you are trying to achieve. Love your style. From a fellow UK lad, just trying to get on the housing ladder (at the ripe old age of 39!). To anyone who has not yet read "Trading Game" - do it, you won't be disappointed if you are a fan of this channel. I wish I had done it sooner!
“Paying workers more will just fuel inflation” -CEO whose stock quadrupled in value over the last 18 months.
All profits are privatized; all losses are socialized.
Just by the way in Iceland they didn't bail their banks out in the banking crisis and the banks recovered with a few years. So there wasn't any need for our government to bail the banks out.
Keep leading the charge Gary. You're slowly changing the world one video at a time
2008 Gary: asset prices will go up because of inequality 2008 everybody: No they’ll go up because of economic recovery 2012 Gary: asset prices will go up because of inequality 2012 everybody: no it’s because of low interest rates 2026 Gary: asset prices will go up because of inequality 2026 everybody: no it’s because of high interest rates
The way it should work is this. Crisis starts. Government borrows money. The rich get more money. Crisis ends. Government claws back the money from the rich. However at the moment we keep on missing out the last step so the entire country has to pay back the debt. It's not complicated.
As someone once told me, there is no ceiling when there is no floor
The level and quality of information and idea in these videos is invaluable. Consistently excellent.
The stock markets in early 1929 were amazing....
Watching from Switzerland. COVID stimulus lead to more concentration of wealth here too
Funny how the wage price spiral is a concern, while the asset price spiral is ignored.
There should be greater regulations on residential property, this should not be seen as an asset for investors
at this point the stock market isnt even real. it rises and lowers based on empty tweets by powerful men, its completely detached from supply, investing into inflated industries and artificially inflates useless businesses. our economy is an illusion, none of it is real and certainly none of it will ever reach down to affect the average person, which is the opposite of what used to happen in previous generations. its infuriating.
As an investment banker, never have I ever seen someone explain cost of capital so well and so simply. Amazing Gary, thank you.
Feels like we are in a very big Ponzi Scheme. About to implode?
Make a video about the Greens' full policy manifesto, the only party pursuing a wealth tax. You have a large platform and everyone would benefit from seeing it.
"Crisis of distribution" Exactly! These crises are unreasonable: nothing has changed in material world. It's all about how resources are managed and what are the goals of the running economical system
