Have you guys wondered why the gear market sucks?

[cragginshred]

People keep saying the economy sucks but the stock market hits a high point almost weekly making up losses in big ways!

Admittingly, a lot of stuff costs more and I had a Friedman JEL 50w listed with only a couple of low balls in about 5 weeks, then a guy pops up on FB and says 'hey I've seen your videos I'll give you x amount' bam no Reverb fees winner winner!

The stock market is not the economy, but it is heavily influenced by economic conditions. The stock market is mostly driven by expectations and when it drops, it's from fear. Trump makes one ominous Tweet about tariffs and the DJIA drops 600 points and some mystery person "gets lucky" by shorting BTC to make $8M in one day. Three days later, the market rebounds. That is not the economy.

The Stripper index is saying recession is either here or about to hit.

Don't confuse me by facts!

I confess I am a blessed man. My wife buys the groceries and I watch for the sales on my favorite IPA!

Being offended by a low offer is crazy. That sets the price of immediate liquidity. Are you willing to pay that price? That is dependent upon time preference and liquidity needs. Both of those are the demand side of the equation. The market clears where supply and demand cross.

People think that supply/demand is only for the object trading hands. This is false, it is also for the aspects of money itself.

Derivatives in the real world, calculus made useful.
