Americans now have 34% of everything they own in equities, the highest the Federal Reserve has ever recorded. The three previous record highs were 21% in 1968, 27% in 2000, and 29% in 2021. Each one was followed by a stock market crash of 25% or more. The stock market used to reflect the economy. Now it's holding it up. In this video, I'll break down: • How foreign investors now own $22 trillion of American stocks, about a fifth of the entire market. • Why 45% of the world's biggest fund managers expect an AI bubble, yet keep buying anyway. • The rise of leveraged ETFs. • Why the record $1.5 trillion in margin debt that helped push stock prices higher could turn into forced selling on the way down. • How the wealth effect works, and it's impact on the economy. 👉 I post everyday here: https://www.instagram.com/casuallyfinance/ All illustrations, visuals, and animations in this video are original and hand-drawn by a freelance artist.
