Are the golden years of wall street and the stock market over?

Exacly! Many people don't understand volatility.
A simple example: a stock opens the day at 100, and closes it also at 100. So most people think it doesn't make any move.
Technically it is true. But what counts is the activity throughout the day! It usually makes zig-zack movements, up and down, up and down.
And one of the arts of trading is to make profit of these intraday movements...

ok, but during dot.com a stock opened at 10 and closed at 40 ob every single day
The only thing people cared about back then was getting filled.
 
But if the US doesn't introduce NIRP unlike most of the other developed countries then
it is to expect that the economies of other countries will grow faster than the US economy,
because more money gets invested into the real economy in those other countries, simply caused (or forced) by the NIRP.
 
I expect new discoveries in space science and space technology will give a big boost to the world economy.
Ie. finding an inhabited planet or an earthlike planet, and new propulsion technologies to make mankind a space voyager en mass.

I don't know why but I feel like the golden years of wall street and it's extravagant lifestyle are over. I mainly refer to 1980-2000.

That's kind of obvious and evident, no disputing that :mad: -- but everything has cycles, and records were meant to be broken.
There's always money to be made in the markets. :sneaky:

80's excess is definitely over. and 90's craziness is over too. -- but that's not to say the Entire Game...is over.
