It's a Ponzi, but not like you think. Stock market is kept afloat by retirement funds. As soon as a critical mass of boomers retire and start withdrawing money instead of adding money, the ride stops. I think it's possible we will see a slow decline of the stock market lasting 20-30 years.

It's not a LARP you faggot. How is he pretending to be anything when spelling out this scenerio?

If anything, with Americas debt, this might actually happen soon.

Vanguard has been around since the 1970s. You're a fucking cuck if you think it hasn't survived multiple economic crashes and come out the other side.

Unlike Fidelity or Charles Schwabb, it also has a following of true believers. Go revisit Bogleheads.org threads from the financial crisis lows in 2008-2009. Veteran Vanguard investors said they would never pull out and told panicky retards to HODL.

Vanguard will never collapse, idiot. Eat my gay black ass.
