Genuine question!
Are those things just not intrinsically connected to the stock market, job growth, interest rates, etc.? Has Trump simply created more than the plandemic took away?
Or is this a matter of "waiting for the other shoe to drop" and we're in for a rude awakening after it all catches up with us? Should I be moving a big chunk of my investments over to gold?
I've been trying to make sense of how we're seemingly doing so well and not well at the same time.
Neighbor of mine that owns a small business is freaking out because he outsourced the manufacturing of his product the China a couple of years ago. He thinks the economy sucks. Yet, my husband, a contractor has far more work coming in than ever, and is booked out until next year. The trades are doing very well, and my customers who are tradesmen tell me this constantly. People that have jobs that can be done remotely, are still working. Everyone in the supermarkets are working harder than ever. Seems like those who usually are left out in a bad economy are doing well right now. It’s about time.
In the construction biz we are booked out till spring and have stopped taking on anymore work. Its insane out there building wise.
👍 low interest rates are helping out, too.
For sure!
