Theres literally no where to put you money now.
The stock market would be down if you could put money in any government bonds that you thought would immediately start increasing spending or any stock or bond market that would do any better. Emerging markets are shaky with China destroying HK and corona running through cities everywhere in the world.
If you could even remotely tell me a safer place to get returns then I concede the point but I doubt you could
- empath75 6y agoIf people start expecting negative returns from the market, 0% returns from govt bonds sound pretty good.
- pjc50 6y agoSwitzerland are now at -0.75% and still getting investors.
- UncleOxidant 6y agoAs was commonly heard in '08: The time has come to worry about return of investment more than return on investment.

- tanzbaer 6y agoTry living off philanthropy in your old age.
- btbuildem 6y agoWhat about real estate?
- DeonPenny 6y agoNo one knows when people will be moving back into cities and rents in places like SF have dropped I think 16% in some areas. No one knows if ever they will get that back, or how much it will drop. Its a complete unknown
- UncleOxidant 6y agoMaybe residential, but I think office & retail space is a very bad investment now. Covid accelerated a couple of trends: The work from home/remote trend and the moving of retail sales online. I don't see those turning around anytime soon even if we get a vaccine. Companies are finding that their employee productivity is at least on par with office-based employees and now they're eyeing all those savings on rents. A lot of leases not being renewed this year.
- im3w1l 6y agoInvest in main street and labor saving gadgets for yourself (e.g. roomba).
- NotSammyHagar 6y agoThat seems wrong too. If I don't have a job or I'm underemployed, why do I need a roomba? I'm not over-worked as a dev where this kind of aid helps me. Main street has closing store after closing store where I'm at in the PNW. There's no main street left.
- DeonPenny 6y agoWhat does that mean specifically and at what cost. Are the returns better?
