Regardless of what you choose for set up and structure of your videos, I think you are one of the best financial information channels on youtube. Your channel is invaluable especially for newcomers to the subject. Don't fret too much about how to "improve" your content, take your time to experiment and try different things. As you said, improve your own skills in the process. In due time you'll figure out the ideal process for you.
Honestly, I do prefer the pushing of the bagel intro more than the animated one. The background is better, very pleasant to the eyes compared to just white. :)
I think dropping the saturation on the orange / blue might be good. Its a little too eye catching in my opinion. (But keep up the great work plain bagel)
Your content is so precious, never stop doing it! Thank you for explaining these concepts in such a concise and easy way. Finance and economy education is really underrated. A lot more people should inform themselves of how the world around them works.
The media focuses on the stock market for another reason: The majority of voters are in retirement or will soon retire. These people watch their portfolios like a hawk as it will be their income stream and tend to still watch television news. "The economy" is just a euphemism for their constituents retirement portfolio.
Love the new background! Great idea! I will say though, i agree with other comments that you seem a little too zoomed in this video. I would prefer the chest high or belt high shot. Keep up the great work! Love your channel!
I don't know who was arguing for the zoom in view. I think the panned out version had an emphasis with hand gestures. If I get one vote, it's to stick with a good thing like before.
I'm always amazed by the small number of subscribers this channel has, considering the content quality and the already great production quality. Although personally I would rather take more videos on more topics from you over aesthetic improvements, I hope these changes help you with the channel popularity. Keep up the good work, man!
The difference between the stock market and the real economy is that the stock market mirrors the real economy when it’s convenient for the politician talking and its performance is irrelevant when it’s inconvenient for the politician talking.
At this point I’m convinced that Liquidity, fund flows, and gamma have dominated common evaluation and momentum factors. Who knows when markets and economic activity will converge again.
@@jamespowell4594 I don't know much, which is why I prefer ETFs that track the indexes. The returns are high enough for me to reach my goals, and safe enough for my risk tolerance. I'm not smart enough to try to beat the market.
Just wondering, would you do a video on the impact of quantitative easing and historically low interest rates, on the stock market and shares? In particular whether shares are overvalued and the difference between rent seeking and wealth creation.
You videos should have subtitles because it's not only seen by Americans or European it's been channelized across global so kindly consider the advise by the way I'm farhan from india
Stock prices are simply a result of supply and demand. How much free money do wealthy individuals and institutions have to invest? When they look at all their opinions, where do they believe they will get the best return? If the answer is stocks because current bond rates are terrible and prices can only go down if interest rates rise, then stock prices go up. If there is uncertainty, people may instead hoard cash until their confidence improves on what will give them the best return. Unless a company is going bankrupt, I don't think fundamentals matter as much as people make them out to be, but of course it depends on the company and what kind of people trade it. Of course business performance may cause investors to react and therefore affect the price, it is ultimately supply and demand of the perceived future performance vs alternative investments that determines stock prices, not the companies themselves.
The problem with the US stock market, is that it is almost fully driven on imagination and the ability to manipulate emotions. If i had to set up a percentage I'd guesstimate this. 25% Normal business operations/actions 55% Manipulation of emotions 20% Imagination Now whether ir not this would be a real thing and not a cynical joke is something that would have to be found by old fashion undercover and investigative journalism. But other than that this is the feeling, as an American, for which i get when i just look at what goes on in our nation as a whole now. Hopefully this cynical joke will prove to be more of a hyperbole as time passes but thats for future me to find out. Love the videos as always and keep up the great work.
Economy and stock market are not directly related. Therefore it provide opportunities to stock investors in the stock market! Thanks for your generous sharing😃👍
The analogy I usually hear is that the economy is more like a dog owner and the dog is the stock market. The dog will go every which way, sniffing here, chasing the squirrel there, etc while the owner lags behind holding the leash trying not to be dragged too far by the dog.
I don’t mind the more zoomed in approach, but having the camera above your eye level and you looking up at it makes you look small. Maybe try keeping the camera at eye level; it makes you look more approachable, just my opinion!
The stock market and the economy are, indeed, two different things. The stock market is an indication of the happiness of rich people. You can have highs on the stock market when unemployment rates are high (so pay is low and corporate profits are high) and poverty levels are high.
Come on man, we both know we all came to this channel for the learning and stayed for the presenters sexy midriff. You can't change up the style and deprive us of that. No homo
Probably unrelated, but I got a stupid ad about "gold being a safe haven, despite what wall street says". NOPE! Not falling for that. Besides, I'm not interested in investing.
I think it s good to be neutral. There is an emphasis to be put that GDP are not an accurate indicator and that stock market are a speculative market and does not reflect nothing but the trust that investors have in each companies, sector or products
Wouldn't a 2/3 ratio in the screen be better? I like you handsome face, but I feel like with having you taking up more space on the screen it would be better to occupy one side or the other (so 2/3 of the screen) not the middle. With the previous setup you where a bith farther and therefore you could still be in the middle and not be weird. But I am not a professional, its just a feeling. Anyway your videos are informative and interesting as always, I do miss the 5 minutes history lessons though.
I recommend a telephoto lens at a longer focal length ("zoomed in") so as to avoid the bobble head effect caused by wide angle lens distortion. Something between 45-90mm at 35mm equivalent.
yes, and fiscal stimulus; e.g. the ECB putting interest rates at negative. bonds and savings accounts aren't profitable anymore, only place to put your money is in assets.
I normally love your videos, and the text of this is no different, high quality thinking. But please can you cut the background sounds and music? Why would anyone who's interested in the subject need it? Simply distracting, makes it harder to take in what you're saying.
Don't understand the difference between the economy and the stock market? Just plain sad. The stock market is an imperfect “predictor” of the economy.

I mean even Trump doesn't get the difference between the economy and the stock market - he's the president of the USA! So it's no surprise to me that many people don't get it and are confused by this year's stock market behavior. Good video, as always!
You don’t have to add political bias in this video. I get what you’re doing. They’re good examples, but it seems I can’t get away from any Political content
Tbh prefer the more zoomed out set up with Richard shown down to waist level! Otherwise awesome content as always !! Thank you!
I agree! The perspective is a bit weird on this video. Focal length too wide?
Also agree!
Appreciate the feedback! I'll keep in mind moving forward
testing the ben felix style and observing the response.
@@alvachan88 yeah thought of Ben Felix too

Finally someone who knows the economy and stock market aren't a reflection of each other
The background is much better. Better for the eyes.
That was the main reason I changed it; a lot of people had commented that the bright white was hard to look at. Glad to hear the positive feedback!
@@ThePlainBagel that's a great background. what is it anyways...?

Perfect video to know the actual difference and dependence between the Stock Market and the Economy!!
Can’t believe this doesn’t have more views. I’ve decided to teach myself economics and your videos are very informative!
Huge fan of your channel. The topics you cover are short , simple and very informative. Keep up the great work!
I'm always amazed by the small number of subscribers this channel has, considering the content quality and the already great production quality. Although personally I would rather take more videos on more topics from you over aesthetic improvements, I hope these changes help you with the channel popularity. Keep up the good work, man!
You and EE are the GOATs of economics
Stock market is indeed different from the economy. Great video, Bagel!
There’s a bunch of finance channels on CZcams that should watch and understand this.
Another very informative video. Appreciate your hard work as always. 😍
Great new editing to the video, looking sharp 👌🏻
I love your channel and videos, please keep it up 😁
woww this is my favorite video, thanks for sharing ......,.,
This is a perfect video! Many people confuse one for the other. Love your channel Plain Bagel. You've inspired us to start our own :)
The difference between the stock market and the real economy is that the stock market mirrors the real economy when it’s convenient for the politician talking and its performance is irrelevant when it’s inconvenient for the politician talking.
woahhh the gradient looks great!
Can you make a video abour private equity, and how and if retail Investors should buy it
nice background. It works well especially when comparing two things.
Great video but as someone else said, I prefer the old setup better! Maybe some combination of the two setups would be the best
At this point I’m convinced that Liquidity, fund flows, and gamma have dominated common evaluation and momentum factors. Who knows when markets and economic activity will converge again.
Endorsing what you use sounds quite convincing.
I loved your true plain bagel intro! you could add the bite animation to a true bagel to make it catchier tho... Love your channel!
Can you do a comparison between the nasdaq 100 and s&p500, and which one might be a better investment?
Which of them does your fund management suggests you go for! Or don't you have one at the helm of your investment portfolio?
@@jamespowell4594 I don't have one of those. I've been managing my own investments so far!
Not a bad approach though!
What's your level of experience?
@@jamespowell4594 sounds intriguing, you seem to have a proficient trading system?
@@jamespowell4594 I don't know much, which is why I prefer ETFs that track the indexes. The returns are high enough for me to reach my goals, and safe enough for my risk tolerance. I'm not smart enough to try to beat the market.
man a big fan of yours really love all your videos and some more video ideas for you like you can make something like economics explained videos
The problem is .. not all people in the economy invest ... If they did the economy would more easily match stock market.
Why?
@@mateovazquez6685 because of the many loops to jump through and the possibility of losing money in the short term ..
@@parthasarathyvenkatadri I mean why do you think it's a problem?
@@mateovazquez6685 I should have said discrepancy between them ..
Sir I don’t know if the zoomed in with tighter shot works for me. 😁. But thank you for great content. Keep it going sir 👍🏽
Hi make a video for penny stocks and inside information scams PLEASE
I think 2020 was the year that proved that the economy and stock market is further apart from each other than previously thought.
Just wondering, would you do a video on the impact of quantitative easing and historically low interest rates, on the stock market and shares? In particular whether shares are overvalued and the difference between rent seeking and wealth creation.
You videos should have subtitles because it's not only seen by Americans or European it's been channelized across global so kindly consider the advise by the way I'm farhan from india
Good video, as always. However, the description refers to Stock Buybacks.
Whoops, thanks for the heads up, fixed now!
Nice video, continue with the great job!
what books would you suggest to read during the holidays
I like the old intro more though rather the animation but nice animation btw

Good video definitely deserves more views
The Plain Bagel always takes things with a grain of salt. Makes sense to me
When you hit 500k subscribers, you have to make a vid on how to make the perfect plain bagel.
It's been nearly 3 years and he still hasn't uploaded a single bagel recipe/ cooking tutorial. 0/ 10; doesn't make you feel like batman.
I don’t mind the more zoomed in approach, but having the camera above your eye level and you looking up at it makes you look small. Maybe try keeping the camera at eye level; it makes you look more approachable, just my opinion!
The background is better, just move the camera a tad back

Can we get a dark mode sensitive background so I don't get blinded when I'm watching your videos at 3am :)
I think your background should include a framed photo of a bagel and another of your vector character
I recommend a telephoto lens at a longer focal length ("zoomed in") so as to avoid the bobble head effect caused by wide angle lens distortion. Something between 45-90mm at 35mm equivalent.
The shares could be going up because of government stimulus ..
yes, and fiscal stimulus; e.g. the ECB putting interest rates at negative. bonds and savings accounts aren't profitable anymore, only place to put your money is in assets.
