The Worse The Economy Feels, The More Stocks Rip Higher (Mega-BULLISH Signal)

Episode Description from the Publisher

There's a great dichotomy happening right now: the economy feels more punishing than ever for everyday Americans, but stocks are ripping to new all-time highs every week. Historically, when sentiment gets this bad while markets keep marching higher, the stock market has usually kept climbing up.Unfortunately, this gets back to the divide we talk about all the time: investors are winning, savers are losing. And it may stay that way for a long time, because policymakers can’t serve both sides at once. Helping one usually comes at the expense of the other — and right now, the system is still built to protect asset owners. I got a lot to say on this issue on today's episode!0:00 Consumer sentiment keeps cratering despite stocks at all time highs1:41 Inflation might be as high as 11% (yes, really!)3:56 The top 10% of consumers are responsible for 50% spending5:07 Low consumer sentiment is historically good for stocks 5:40 The great dichotomy of our time 7:10 What I think about this dichotomy Listen to From the Desk of Anthony Pompliano on:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/from-the-desk-of-anthony-pompliano/id1819778503Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1THAGnR1Xt1WDUn1CCTh1DPomp writes a daily letter to over 265,000+ investors about business, technology, and finance.
