I see many policies which put or keep money in the market -
i.e.
Because of the pandemic, RMDs were cancelled this year - so people who can afford to leave money in the market are not forced to sell. (done)
Proposed - CARES act 2 ?
RMDs may be going from 70 (or year after turning 70) to 72. Again delaying forced w/d - even if just a sell/buy cycle.
Employers with a 401K may be able to start a program where student loan payments are pre-tax, and a 401k match is made.
there are more.
On the other hand - In the old days it was giant pension funds, with a layer of pension managers. Companies made payments
into the system based on some formula of workers/age/expected vesting,etc. It was still programmed money going into the market.
Sometimes it was overfunded, and they got to take some out, sometimes it was underfunded, and they'd balk at making a lump sum payment.
The big difference is people sitting at home bidding up the price of individual stocks. It wasn't that long ago that executing a trade cost $100+
Been a long time since Datek came along and made them $15 (or whatever it was - long time ago) - now it is close to free.
I still can't get my head around bitcoin and its lure. i guess it is the same as paper money. worthless in a market collape.
at least i can wipe my ass with paper bills.
exactly where does one go to pick up their silver and gold at that time?
I think I mentioned I have a friend that has the silver delivered to his house. I wonder if he colors-up when he has enough silver to buy gold?
