Something Is Wrong With This Market

The US stock market is sending a powerful signal of strength, with the S&P 500 pushing to repeated all-time highs, yet consumer sentiment tells a very different story. In this video, we explore why many Americans feel financially worse off despite record market gains, and why the stock market no longer reflects the reality of the broader economy. We examine how wealth inequality has widened over decades, leaving the majority of stock ownership concentrated among the top 1% while the bottom half of households are increasingly locked out of asset-driven wealth creation. The video breaks down the role of globalization in boosting corporate profits while suppressing wage growth, the growing reliance on household debt, and how rising housing costs have made homeownership less attainable for much of the population. We also discuss the shift toward deglobalization, higher tariffs, and what this structural change could mean for inflation, wages, and long-term stock market returns.
