💡If markets feel more like a casino these days… you’re not imagining it. Protect your financial future with a free portfolio review from Wealthion’s endorsed advisors: https://bit.ly/48PUrNe In part 2 of our interview with Michael Green, portfolio manager and chief strategist at Simplify Asset Management, he explains why the stock market has become disconnected from fundamentals and why that shift is pushing an entire generation toward speculation. Passive investing, momentum flows, and distorted market structure have created an environment where prices no longer reflect business value. Instead, the system increasingly behaves like a closed loop of capital flows, rewarding size rather than fundamentals. This dislocation, Green argues, has produced a “nihilistic” response among younger investors who no longer see a credible path to long-term wealth through traditional saving and investing. When the system feels stacked against you, asymmetric bets — crypto, meme stocks, options — can seem rational. He also breaks down: * Why passive investing reshaped market mechanics * How fundamentals became irrelevant in a market ruled by flows * Why younger generations adopt “lottery ticket” strategies * The structural reasons speculation may keep rising * The risks of a market that no longer reallocates capital efficiently This is part 2 of our interview with Michael Green.
