Your numbers are way, way off. Most people have assets like homes, savings, stocks, etc.

Large % of Americans own their own homes: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home..._United_States

well, by definition most renters in NYC are not home owners. But I bet most have savings in bank accounts and value their credit score. Those actually hard off will not care about anything except food on the table and a roof over their head any way possible

Look at markets ..we are Back within 10% of the all time highs .....in March all you saw was markets are going lower and lower ....
I agree, I never check my stocks because it's just company stocks but it went down and now it's back up there. Which means that none of that makes any sense anyway, since it's all based on perception rather than reality, to a certain extend.

You call home, savings, and stocks assets?

Thats what they give you to feel self-importance

LMAO

Only asset worth anything is land

Anything else is Lion Witch & Wardrobe level

Huh? Come on bro, you don’t really believe that. Savings isn’t an asset? Stocks? Our stock market long term trends have always been very positive. And homes are definitely an asset. You’re holding equity unless you made a stupid deal or are forced to sell in a major downturn.

don't forget the major indexes like the s&p are only 5% hotels , energy , airlines , travel , leisure , restaurants and entertainment ....

the faang stocks dominate the entire index ... 20-25% of the 500 conpanies in the s&p 500 are internet sales and information services which are doing well .

layoffs increase profits ...companies only have to do less bad than analysts predicted and the stocks go up . google and facebook hit record highs yesterday .
