I'm like you, the check will be less, but it doesn't affect day to day life(yet).
From a bigger picture view, really having trouble envisioning how the earnings of
both small and large companies are going to grow in 2026. The American consumer is
getting hit from all sides. Less disposable income for purchases due to increased
healthcare premiums. Prices still rising due to an inept tariff policy. Consumer
spending makes up approximately 70% of GDP, that is a big number. Are there enough
of the wealthy in America to pick up the spending slack that almost has to be coming,
from the middle and lower class bloc of spenders ?
Wall St hates uncertainty, and we have uncertainty in spades.
Wall St loves growth, but the engine of growth ( the consumer ) is getting
throttled.
Oh well, I guess we can just keep on piling into AI tech companies, what can go
wrong ???
