Having 3000sf of dead retail space selling Vienna sausages, yogurt, magazines, and 'steal me' cosmetics (in addition to prescriptions) might have contributed to their financial difficulties. Just saying.

What is this word 'fundamentals' you mention? I don't think anyone in the financial markets has heard of it or is familiar with its meaning.

Interest rates going down will also stimulate more supply (the masses sitting on sub 3% mortgages will be incentivized to finally sell).

BTFD and MAG7 concentration happens automatically with automatic passive flows into 401ks. It's self perpetuating and reinforcing. I've come around to this Mike Green theory of the market. Only a deep recession and massive unemployment can stop it.

Never understood the appeal. Maybe, maybe, a small barefoot-type cruise to unique locations. A vacation for me is exploring, seeing, and experiencing. Being trapped on a huge ship with thousands of boisterous people (a floating Las Vegas) would be my personal hell.

There's an off the cuff quote by Nancy Pelosi to a reporter in Aug 2020, something like "You know there's a level that they won't let it go below" referring to the market. It was on her official Speaker page. Struck me at the time and no one really picked up on it. I'm looking for it.
