>either it goes up

Why would it go up? American companies have no growth prospects. India's stock market (NIFTY 50) has outperformed America's since 2008 by an additional 200% gain with x6 returns against x4 and that was without QE and with much greater future growth prospects. America's stock market is no longer the best performing in the world.

International economic dominance and pre-eminence in all sectors as well as a monopoly on high technology created legitimate growth between 1950 and 2008. We made everything worth making and did every service worth servicing and designed everything worth designing and nobody could touch us.

Growth between 2001 and 2018 was founded upon low interest rates and technological and service competitiveness. Our manufacturing sector was completely gone, but we at least retained our monopoly on high technology and design as well as international services.

We are now starting to see the cracks in the Western world order. Countries looking to develop do not turn to the West for technical advice but China, so intl. financial services and professional services that were once extremely profitable for us are now going to China. Intl. best-selling smartphones and laptops are now designed in China. It can produce desktop & mobile operating systems and will soon move to internationalize them, and India is investing in the same. The U.S. will suffer the same problem that the Europeans suffered when the Japanese learned to make cannons and rifles themselves ; competition and then exclusion from the market. Except it will not just be firearms, but all the goods and services that the U.S. now dominates and upon which its financial supremacy rests. The complete alteration of the U.S. by 2060 will only accelerate these patterns as it becomes a Latin-style socialist cunt more interested in gibs than growth.

Imagine how the people born in the 1950s feel now. Do you want to be here 2 feel even worse in 2070? Create an exit plan.
