Comment on How is the Stock Market keeping it's value after *points to everything*?
Num10ck@lemmy.world 2 days agofirst off, your trading account is in some financial institution that might itself shatter. without a federal rescue boat to save the little people. second, if the us economy actually collapses 80+%, nowhere else is safe. the european union and japan couldnt fend for itself without the current power balance holding firm. china is in a terrible state itself already. no easy answers.

Yeah, trading account needs some caution, indeed. If nowhere else is safe… I guess the answer is the real gold? That’s quite difficult. Do you think 80% collapse would come? That’s gotta be quite wild, I was more thinking of general market crash.

Gold will not hold value if the market crashes like that. Food, water, and land will be what holds value.

if you knew the correct timing/scale/scope you could be crazy rich from it all. nobody knows, even those causing it. personally ive been out of the stock market for 5 years expecting a crash and it hasnt happened yet.
