  • Exploding real estate prices, zero interest rate and a rising stock market - the rich are getting richer. What danger lies in wait for average citizens?
    For years, the world’s central banks have been pursuing a policy of cheap money. The first and foremost is the ECB (European Central Bank), which buys bad stocks and bonds to save banks, tries to fuel economic growth and props up states that are in debt. But what relieves state budgets to the tune of hundreds of billions annoys savers: interest rates are close to zero.
    The fiscal policies of the central banks are causing an uncontrolled global deluge of money. Experts are warning of new bubbles. In real estate, for example: it’s not just in German cities that prices are shooting up. In London, a one-bed apartment can easily cost more than a million Euro. More and more money is moving away from the real economy and into the speculative field. Highly complex financial bets are taking place in the global casino - gambling without checks and balances. The winners are set from the start: in Germany and around the world, the rich just get richer. Professor Max Otte says: "This flood of money has caused a dangerous redistribution. Those who have, get more." But with low interest rates, any money in savings accounts just melts away. Those with debts can be happy. But big companies that want to swallow up others are also happy: they can borrow cheap money for their acquisitions. Coupled with the liberalization of the financial markets, money deals have become detached from the real economy. But it’s not just the banks that need a constant source of new, cheap money today. So do states. They need it to keep a grip on their mountains of debt. It’s a kind of snowball system. What happens to our money? Is a new crisis looming? The film 'The Money Deluge' casts a new and surprising light on our money in these times of zero interest rates.

      Because of inflation. The problem is that most of the new money goes to the rich and not the regular people. That's why taxing the rich is important so they don't do this kind of gambling. 40% of all stocks are owned by the 1% and the top 10 percent have 90% of all stocks. When trump cut corporate taxes they used most of that money for stock buybacks thus increasing their wealth. Also, it was illegal to do stock buybacks until Reagan arrived.

      Better than putting into a 4 to 10 times overpriced stock market. It is this extreme in US, with small caps at the high end. PE ratios compress in half in bad times. Even without factoring this in, it's 2 to 5 times overpriced. Don't be fooled as to what's the average PE ratio over all years. It's 12, not 16. The inflated figures in recent years has a confounding basis.

      Most people are broke because they don’t understand how money works and they lack the discipline to do what it takes to become wealthy. People want the latest iPhone, to go on vacation, and to have season tickets for their favorite team. If they had just invested the money from those three things starting in their twenties, they’d be wealthy in their fifties. But that would require discipline and a willingness to wait for the payout.

      @jcllings you gave it away at 3).... the stock market has nothing to do with the real economy, and produces only price inflation and destruction, while NOT producing real investment - it's a speculative Instrument. Which is why we get into repeated trouble (bubble and 'irrational exuberance', followed eventually by 'crash and burn'), every few years. The only real investment that occurs there is when an IPO is offered and bought, and much of that is siphoned off into the early pre-flotation investor's pockets rather than actually being invested IN the company as real assets and material stocks.

    When you borrow money from the bank, you need high scrutiny and pay them high interest rates. When the bank gets money from you, you give them willingly and ask for very low interest rates which are actually decided by the borrower banks. That is how rich get richer and poor get poorer.

      @Murari Kaushik
      It does have a bias, yes. But then again, I can't find anything inherently wrong or false with what it's saying.
      The financial marked is a huge get-rich-quick scheme. And not just that, it's inherently unstable as shown by the 2008 crash. A lot of what's going on is toxic assets being passed around like hot potatos while everyone's praying that the marked won't come crashing down while they're holding one.
      It's also true that major cites are increasingly become the objects of speculation rather than investment. Flats and stores are changing hands at huge sums as the owners are gambling that the prices will keep going up. And the unfortunate result is that ordinary middle class citizens are slowly being forced out of the city and into the suburbs - sometimes even further - because they simply cannot afford to live in the city any more. And what's left is a lot of empty property, serving no other purpose than to be sold and sold and sold again.
      And finally, it's also true that banks simply conjure money out of thin air when they want to issue a loan. And it's equally true that they'll only do so when they're sure of turning a profit from it, hence why it's so hard - sometimes even impossible - to borrow money if you need to buy a new house (because you've just been forced out of town) or if you want to start your own business. And that's doubly ironic since the banks don't seem to mind gambling with their money on a wide variety of toxic asset schemes...
      See how it's all interconnected?
      And so the final point also stands - there's something truly rotten in the financial sector. A few speculators have gotten extremely rich on these mad bets while the rest of us are struggling to make ends meet. And in the long run, that's going to destabilise society as the middle class is slowly sinking into the mud, becoming poorer and poorer while The One Percent is living the good life in their gated communities. And history quite clearly shows what happens when the inequality becomes too great...
