The Great Con of the Recovery: The Stock Wealth Effect
Submitted by Phoenix Capital Research on 04/22/2011 17:30 -0500Stepping back from this, you really can’t help but notice how stupid the whole “stock wealth effect” ideology is. Setting aside the fact that MOST of the gains stocks have produced since 2009 are due to US Dollar devaluation, it strikes me as odd that someone would think they were richer because their stock portfolio was up… while the cost of just about everything has ALSO gone up tremendously.

Doing this had a profound psychological impact on the financial world. By swapping US Dollars for trash assets, the Fed sent a clear signal to all of us that cash was in fact becoming trash.
