Lol, that's not an opinion piece, bud.
And I certainly think I would trust Forbes over some random on a Rupps Rafters fourm, The Paddock since it was moved, with no evidence to support his claims.
The market isn't a good indicator at all as most people don't own stocks or have 401k's. That makes it a poor indicator of the economy.
Then why has there been no slow down? It's only been increasing, which is they keep rasing the rates more than initially planned. Even with record high inflation, consumption of goods is still at record highs and growing. We also have among the lowest levels of inflation among developed nations. So nothing indicates our economy is bad, it's just short on supply.
