Why The Stock Market Hasn't Crashed Yet - What Banks Don't Want You To Know - YouTube

When you look at the history of the stock market, there are a lot of ups and downs,
[6]
but the trend is generally upward.
[9]
It doesn't matter at what point of the market you have invested, in the long run, you have
[14]
multiplied your investment.
[15]
Even if you have invested at the peak of 2007 or 1999, the market didn't just recover but
[22]
have grown substantially.
[24]
Especially since 2011, the market has been growing faster than ever.
[29]
Just take a look at the s&p500.
[30]
The growth has been unstoppable.
[34]
Guess why?
[35]
Because since 2008, the fed realised that instead of just letting the market correct
[40]
itself and recover, it can literally print trillions of dollars, throw it into the economy,
[46]
and it's going to recover much faster, which has worked pretty good for the last two crises.
[52]
But what stands out in the history of the stock market is February and march of 2020
[58]
when the market collapsed.
[59]
Never in the history of the stock market has it collapsed so suddenly and so severely.
[65]
What makes this particular crash different from everything that has ever happened is
[69]
the fact that it instantly recovered, and since then, it has been on a rollercoaster.
[76]
That's why a lot of analysts expect the market to crash again since it's not normal.
[81]
The market can't just, out of nothing, rise that much, especially when it's fuelled by
[85]
cheap money.
[86]
But the question is, why the crash hasn't happened yet?
[91]
Why it's still growing, and when exactly will it crash?
[95]
If you are ready, give this video a thumbs up, and here is a little disclaimer, this
[99]
is not financial advice, and everything that's said in this video is for educational and
[104]
entertainment purposes and now let's dive in.
[108]
If you have been paying attention, there was a correction last month, and if you were smart
[113]
enough, you probably took advantage out of it.
[116]
That was the time to buy, but it wasn't the first correction.
[119]
Every few months, we are experiencing a correction, and each time it feels like the market is
[124]
going to crash further, but it never did and seems like it's not going to happen in the
[130]
coming future.
[131]
What we have to understand is that, for the last year or so, we have been during the boom
[135]
period.
[136]
It's the time when the economy recovers grows exponentially.
[141]
Remember the economic cycle we have talked about in one of the previous videos.
[144]
The economy starts growing to the point where it reaches its maximum potential, and then
[149]
it slows down.
[151]
Inflation rises faster than the economy, so the fed raises interest rates to their maximum
[156]
in order to keep inflation under control, but it limits the supply of money into the
[161]
economy, so the economy barely grows and kinda grows enough to coupe with inflation.
[166]
At some point, the bubble bursts, the economy crashes like a domino effect.
[171]
It happened in 2008, in 1999, and in 2020.
[176]
That's when the fed steps in with cheap money to help the economy recover faster by lowering
[182]
rates and buying both corporate and government bonds.
[185]
In the first year or two, usually, the economy recovers to its pre-crisis level.
[191]
Then it goes through the boom period where everything explodes until it reaches the peak
[195]
again, where it slows down until it crashes again.
[200]
Judging by this graph, it's clear where the economy is standing right now.
[204]
Of course, no one knows the future, and we can't say that's it isn't going to crash,
[209]
but there are usually a lot of indicators that point out what direction the economy
[214]
is headed to.
[215]
When the fed lowered the rates to almost 0 percent, people expected that as a temporary
[220]
measure because our economy is a consumer-based economy.
[224]
The economic wheel turns around because people spend.
[228]
The moment they stop, everything stops.
[230]
It just collapses.
[232]
Turning the wheel again is much harder, so the fed took an easier path by artificially
[237]
keeping the wheel turning while we are getting out of the pandemic, which seems like it did
[242]
a pretty good job, but it never said anything concrete about when will it raise the rates.
[249]
All they said is, they will do everything possible to save the economy, and it turns
[253]
out that means keeping the rates low not for just a few months or a year but a few years,
[259]
until we fully recover from everything.
[261]
So while the growth has slowed down, with these kinds of rates, it's impossible for
[265]
it to crash.
[267]
A lot of analysts expect the rates to be raised only in 2023, and that seems very reasonable.
[273]
Of course, anything could happen by then, but that's so far the most realistic scenario.
[278]
The fed definitely wants to raise rates.
[280]
No one likes this inflation.
[282]
In fact, the fed kept saying that inflation is under control to calm everyone down when
[287]
in reality, inflation was much higher than feds expectations.
[292]
The growth that has happened in the last few years wasn't free.
[296]
It was at the expense of inflation.
[299]
Prices have soared all across the world, especially on real estate.
[303]
House prices don't randomly soar by 20 or 30 percent.
[307]
That's not normal.
[308]
That's literally ten times higher than their usual rate.
[312]
What happened in the last one and half years was a huge experiment!We have never printed
[316]
so much money in such a short period of time.
[320]
And it's not just about the US but worldwide.
[323]
That's why it's difficult to make any predictions about how it could potentially end when we
[328]
don't have any similar examples to look at.
[330]
On top of that, the growing fear about the Chinese real estate market is also worrying
[336]
investors about how it could potentially influence the world.
[339]
China is not an isolated economy.
[342]
Literally, every country in the world is connected economically to china, especially the US.
[348]
So if china falls into a recession, it's definitely going to impact the US and the world in general.
[354]
You probably have seen pictures of Chinese ghost towns.
[357]
The problem with china is that there aren't many investing tools available.
[361]
Yes, they have a stock market and huge multinational corporations like Alibaba, Tencent and so
[368]
on, but they are heavily regulated by the state which makes their future unpredictable.
[374]
Today they are growing, tomorrow their CEO gets into a conflict with the communist party
[379]
and a crackdown would begin.
[381]
Take the most famous Chinese entrepreneur Jack Ma.
[385]
He disappeared after criticising the regime and his fortune was reduced to just 50 billion
[389]
dollars losing over 11 billion dollars in the process.
[393]
So most people in china throw their savings at real estate because it looks like the most
[398]
reliable investment.
[399]
Real estate prices rise, they are immune to inflation and they could be turned into a
[404]
source of passive income.
[405]
However that strategy has backfired since they have built far more houses than they
[411]
country needs which created a huge oversupply of homes in the country.
[416]
Almost 25 percent of houses are empty, that's a record number and in some places, entire
[421]
buildings are destroyed since they have been around for years and no one has occupied them.
[428]
People in chine are buying their third house as often as they buy their first house which
[433]
reminds me of something that has happened in the US not that long ago.
[438]
Exactly, low interest rates and loose regulations allowed people to buy multiple homes that
[443]
they couldn't afford which led to the 2008 market crash.
[448]
Of course that's an over simplification, but that's what happened in short.
[452]
And the same could happened in china which would drag down with it the world economy,
[457]
but that's just speculation because no one really knows when that bubble is going to
[461]
burst and how deadly it's going to impact the economy.
[465]
Theoretically, it doesn't seem like we are about to witness a crash and didn't happened
[470]
in the last year or so because of the reasons we have discussed earlier.
[474]
It's impossible to predict the crash, the best strategy is to just dollar cost average.
[478]
