🚨 Why US Stocks Can Stay “Expensive” (Even When Everyone Screams Bubble) Most people think stock prices are based only on fundamentals like earnings and valuations. But there’s a hidden force at play: Some assets become STORE OF WEALTH assets. Not just investments. Not just businesses. But psychological “vaults.” When people treat an asset as a place to park money, they are willing to: Pay a higher price Accept lower returns Ignore short term noise That difference in price? That’s the store of wealth premium. 💡 Example (super simple) Two companies can have the same revenue, same growth, same future. But if the world believes one of them is a “safe place to store wealth”… 👉 it trades at a far higher price 👉 not because the numbers are different 👉 but because the psychology is different Same company. Different perception. Different valuation. 🏦 Why this applies to the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 are seen globally as: Safe Liquid Trusted Long term wealth builders People don’t just invest in these indexes… they store wealth in them. That's why mega caps like Apple, Microsoft, Google, Nvidia can remain expensive for years. They aren’t just companies anymore. They’re global digital vaults. 🌏 Cultural proof In Bali, I see property selling for crazy high prices, even when rent yields don’t justify it. Why? Because wealthy Indonesians trust land more than businesses or stocks. That’s their store of wealth. In Australia, same thing. Real estate is the default “wealth parking” asset. But younger generations are priced out. They’re shifting to: Stocks Tech Crypto Low entry cost. Fractional shares. Accessible from a phone. The store of wealth premium can move from one asset class to another. 🔥 The BIG shift coming Most US wealth is held by older generations. A huge portion of that wealth is in: Real estate Old blue chip stocks When that wealth transfers to younger heirs, flows change. Younger generations invest on: eToro & Robinhood They prefer: Tech AI Crypto Not 1980s blue chips and rental properties. ✅ TLDR Some assets don’t rise because of rational financial models. They rise because: people believe they are the safest place to store wealth. Real estate had the premium for decades. Now stocks and crypto are absorbing it. Platforms like eToro are where that shift is happening. If you agree, hit Like, Comment, and Follow. Curious to hear your view: ➡️ Which asset becomes the next global store of wealth? $ETOR (eToro Group LTD) $HOOD (Robinhood Markets Inc.) $NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation) $TSLA (Tesla Motors, Inc.)
