Market Resilience Amidst Scarcity and Abundance
This chapter explores the resilient nature of the U.S. stock market, particularly how consistent capital influx from vehicles like 401(k)s stabilizes it despite external challenges. It contrasts the dynamics of scarcity with abundance, examining how the decreasing number of publicly traded companies amidst high capital abundance drives valuations up and complicates the market landscape. Additionally, the chapter discusses the implications of stock buybacks and the competitive environment fueled by low-interest rates on established businesses and future sustainability.
