Is this accurate biz?
>Since July 2012 – so over the past five years – the trailing 12-month earnings per share of all the companies in the S&P 500 index rose just 12% in total. Or just over 2% per year on average. Or barely at the rate of inflation
>These are not earnings under the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) but “adjusted earnings” as reported by companies to make their earnings look better.
>This is the most optimistic earnings number. It’s the number that data provider FactSet uses for its analyses, and these adjusted earnings seen in the most favorable light grew only a little over 2% per year on average for the S&P 500 companies over the past five years, or 12% in total
>Yet, over the same period, the S&P 500 Index itself soared 80%.

As long as you're diversified for any economic event you can be happy, put your mind at ease, and enjoy the rollercoaster none of us are in control of.

This is what happens when you have almost zero interest rates and companies are buying their own stock with cheap/free money.
Fiat is a scam of epic proportions, 2008 crash was nothing compared to whats coming when the music stops.

The economy is as much of a meme as the crypto market. It just has more participants, hence more liquidity, so it's less volatile.
