Just a reminder that the stock market isn't really an indicator of good times. The news likes it because it updates every day, unlike actually useful economic information. That and its unclear what it means so they can argue over it.

Here's all that really matters if you could look at only one thing accurately and as frequently as you like. Median standard of living - cost of living. Everything else is either a distraction or a figure used in hope of hinting at that as a placeholder.

Don't buy stock. At minimum it is morally wrong to buy anything that doesn't yield a dividend because you are further giving reinforcement to the idea that investments don't need to produce inlays. This is dangerous and unsustainable and will destroy our civilization (already has to a degree).
