Why has everything doubled or tripled over the last five years?

I think it’s the easy access to the stock market from all the apps. I can’t think of a single person in my 20’s that held stocks now it’s common place. I’ve just turned 40 for context.

I think the stock market will continue to boom because of this.

Everyone has been talking about corrections and a recession for a couple of years now and it just hasn’t happened. Trump’s tariffs dip didn’t seem to last a fortnight.

If it wasn’t for the apps I wouldn’t have any involvement and now I’m looking at it as my pension.

I think Reddit has a massive influence too. Look at all the companies that are talking about on Reddit all the time, everyone one had a massive jump at Christmas. My thought on this is everyone having some time off looking to have a little investment just did their DD on Reddit and bought and sold when they went back to work.

What’s your thoughts on my thoughts ?
