The stock market rally is making US asset owners richer than ever:



The value of equities held by US households is up to a record $57.7 trillion, up +156% since 2020.

This is now more than the total value of real estate by $9.8 trillion, or 20%, the widest gap on record.

Since the 1980s, there has never been a sustained period when the value of household equities exceeded real estate, outside of a few quarters in 2020 and 2021.

As a result, equities account for a record 33% of total assets held by Americans and a record 47% of total financial assets.

By comparison, at the 2000 Dot-Com Bubble peak, these figures were 27% and 39%, respectively.

Equity holders are seeing historic market conditions.

A 156% increase completed in four years; this speed is even more aggressive than real estate speculation

The rise of the US stock market this time is a bit outrageous, with a market value of 57.7 trillion, making houses less attractive.
