"Post" crash? If you think what we've seen is the crash you have no idea what's coming.

Bluntly: neither do you and doomerism is unhelpful.

> neither do you

The put options that I closed out based on my correct prediction that the market would drop literally the day after I posted this would disagree.

Additionally since the Fed meeting and the subsequent market drop that general consensus has shifted pretty rapidly towards agreeing more with me than not.

I still think the market is even more optimistic than it realizes.

It's not doomerism, its reality: we're still in an insane asset bubble that has been propped up by a decade of insanely low interest rates and cheap money. Various conditions around the world are causing rapid inflation which is forcing central banks to raise interest rates ending the era of cheap money. The market sentiment remains convinced that this will a temporary hike, not going much about 4-5% and decreasing rapidly, however there is plenty of economic analysis that indicates this does not make sense.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I guess I'm asking "the value of everything will drop as measured by what"?

$ and purchasing power, the economy as a whole has been contracting. like if everything is bringing in fewer $ then everything is worth less.

Sorry, I'm still confused - isn't everything bringing in 8% more $ than last year?
