Breathless headlines like this are usually a sign that everything is fine. If the journos start saying you should mortgage your house and buy {tulips, dotcom stocks, bitcoin}, then that would be a sign that the market is peaking.
- seamyb88 7y agoIf your definition of fine involves the current level of poverty worldwide and the increasing trends towards billionaires exasperating at all-time-low tax rates, then everything is peachy. The real fallacy in this headline is the idea that any measure of how well the world is doing, financially, could have at any time recently been adequate.
