You are saying the market will go south when 401Ks as a trend stop?

  Since the beginning of 401ks, the yearly amount being locked away exceeded the amount being cashed out. Thanks to baby boomers retiring, a couple of years ago that reversed, and will stay reversed for the rest of our lives. The first condition creates a natural headwind to increase stock values. The current condition will reverse that.

    But generational wealth is increasing, as boomers die their kids get the money...which they then reinvest. The money doesn't just disappear.

      Not as the cost of aging increases and government fees expand. Most boomers still aren't technically retired and they aren't in advanced ages, they are just now a few years into being senior citizens with most still generating income. A few years (or months) in a nursing home will evaporate almost all wealth for 90% of boomers.

      That's why they invented cocaine.
