so much wealth chasing so few wealth growth opportunities. Private equity has gone into real estate looking for profits. The rich around the world are desperate for places to invest. So the stock market doesn't go down because of that. Low stock prices are an opportunity to invest not a warning as they used to be. Plus the very rich just got more tax cuts.
