Short term gains .... and gain them as fast as possible .... because the end is coming near and everything is going to be over soon.
While depressing, it makes sense, seeing as this market model isn’t sustainable in the long term, let alone short term.
Interest rates went up and with it the era of free money. Now the investors come knocking for profits and lots of it. As they get squeezed, they squeeze the customer harder with worse products and services for more money.
I sometimes do wonder if the rich are just all in the endgame now and we’re just like but we didn’t even get a turn!
