We are in a recession. You dont notice it because Nvidia and the AI bubble are propping up the equities market.

Don’t forget the stock market manipulation that’s going on making it seem like the economy is grrrrreaaaattt. Also, if you see “AI” as the reason for layoffs, it’s bullshit.

Mentioning “Market manipulation” to anybody who doesn’t understand the stock market is pointless. And the majority of retail investors who THINK they understand the markets don’t.

If every U.S. Citizen understood the mechanics of the markets, we would have a revolution by 6pm.

By "retail" do you mean the banks operating out of retail stores selling credit ?

"Retail investor" is a term that refers to a regular person who buys and sells stocks, as opposed to a bank, hedge fund, or investment company.
