TT Stonks III: Stocks Divorced from Reality, the Great Accelerator, Future of the Show, and Listener Mailbag

TT Stonks III: Stocks Divorced from Reality, the Great Accelerator, Future of the Show, and Listener Mailbag

In this episode, we talk about why the stock market is increasingly divorced from economic reality, and the fact that COVID-19 is proving to be a great accelerator rather than a great leveller - accelerating the trends towards income and wealth inequality that we have seen over the last 30-40 years, as well as internationally.

We also discuss where the show is going in the future, and respond to listener emails.
