The most ironic rule in history—

The most prosperous moments in the stock market are often the moments closest to a crisis~
The mechanism works like this:
When the return on investment in the real economy begins to decline, factories stop making money, expanding production is pointless, and capital holding cash can't find profitable places—so it has only one choice: rush into the capital markets~
With more money, asset prices rise, everyone feels richer, consumption increases, sentiment lifts, and the market becomes more prosperous—
But beneath this prosperity, the real economy is quietly bleeding~
Looking back through history, the pattern is astonishingly consistent:
Before the 1929 crash, the U.S. stock market soared for three years, everyone on the streets of New York was trading stocks~
Before the dot-com bubble burst in 2000, the Nasdaq rose fivefold over five years~
Before the 2008 financial crisis, global stock markets hit new all-time highs simultaneously~
Before the Federal Reserve's aggressive rate hikes in 2021, U.S. stock valuations reached historic extremes~
Each time, the final prosperity is grander, more convincing, and harder to doubt than the last—
Because when everyone is making money, those who point out the bubble are mocked, kicked out of groups, called "market ignoramuses"—
Warren Buffett says he has "never seen" such gambling sentiment—
Putting this phrase into this framework, the weight is entirely different—
This is not the peak of a bull market; it is the desperate prosperity when capital has nowhere to go—
Money runs wild in the market, not because the future looks bright, but because the real economy no longer welcomes it—
The most dangerous signals always appear in the most glamorous disguises—
