Yeah, I don't suppose the Fed raising interest rates when no other CB in the world is doing the same, has anything to do with it. I don't suppose the Fed unwinding its QE balance sheet has anything to do with it. I don't suppose artificially inflating the equities market with years of nominal zero interest rate policy and real negative interest rate policy has anything to do with it.

The equity risk premium hit a 40-yr high about six or seven years ago and has been hovering around that level ever since because of the aforementioned monetary policies. Exactly how do you think that will be resolved? Here's a hint: It won't be pretty.

You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by c squared. Then you energy.

So this is what has become of you. You are no longer capable of anything but parroting the inane ramblings of analjelly. Such a tragic fate.
