26% return last 3 yrs near equals near the best 3 yr period in history

[SammyJ]

We’ve basically been up 13 yrs in a row( small 4% down one yr).We’ve had big speculation the last 2 yrs as 800k people died.The last such period like this was 97-99.2022 should be interesting.

Makes perfect sense. Fed has been goosing the markets with "print money" since 2008.

 

[Clubber Lang]

The Fed IS the stock market.

Their unspoken 3rd mandate is to keep the S&P above the 200MA

It's important to note that nearly 3M people die in the US every year. The numbers were up 15% in 2020 and causes were higher for all the leading categories, in part due to people delaying or cancelling doctor visits for chronic issues. Covid certainly contributed to a large number of deaths but the reporting methods and criteria generally overstate the pure numbers strictly from Covid.

Another ridiculously dishonest statement from an antivaxxer.

Don't let those actual facts and figures get in the way of your anger and ability to demonize people whose views you don't like - and you don't even know my views. I couldn't be more supportive of vaccinations and have long supported mRNA technology long before it was a term the public was familiar with. If you still believe those who aren't vaccinated are the biggest problem here, then I doubt any facts or data will help you with your feelings. Sorry the numbers didn't work out the way you wanted.

Blah blah... the overwhelming evidence of data shows that yes, a great number of people are dying from covid (which you infer is questionable), that vaccines slow the spread of covid, significantly reduce the risk of hospitalization or death. If that runs against your argument, that's for you to deal with.

97-99 boom was driven by the so-called internet superhighway (aka internet); even though it ended in a bust, it laid the foundation of the digital economy that we have today.

In comparison, 2019-21 boom was driven by the Fed Reserve. It indeed re-created the wealth effect, at least for some, but it made the poor pooer through high inflation.
