- di4na 3y agoNot yet, it is not only boomers. Also return are still high and there is low supply because shares buybacks. So even if the retirement impacted it, it will take a long time. If ever.
- Temporary_31337 3y agoProbably the boomers are not liquidating their stock market assets until very last minute - after all it’s pretty liquid so personally I would only sell if I really needed the money or had an a idea of where else to put it for a better short term return. Many boomers also have rental income from properties and other forms of savings. Finally on average people of that generation tend to save more than they need and still have money leftover when dying. So based on that I would say don’t expect heavy liquidation from the boomers ever.
- di4na 3y agoYeeeep exactly. We have pretty good data on this nowadays. I have seen some research from the french INSEE, equivalent probably exist from the OECD if you search. The data is a pita to collect and compare but it supports this scenario.
