The U.S. Stock Market Is In The Biggest Bubble In History - The Entire Economy Is At Risk

Jan. 3, 2025

U.S. DOLLAR COLLAPSE - FOLLOW THE MONEY

Geopolitical Economy Report - Ben Norton

The U.S. stock market is in "the mother of all bubbles," with the market capitalization of publicly traded companies at 206% of GDP.

This is higher than the dot-com bubble of 2000 and even the peak of the crash of 1929.

Meanwhile, just 25 companies make up over half of the weight of the S&P 500, and the Magnificent 7 Big Tech monopolies are 35% of the market cap of the index. However, the US economy was built upon this financial house of cards, and politicians are profiting from it. Ben Norton explains the dangers.
