It seems like people are angry and scared about the market because the perception is that the retired and fixed income are suffering now for future gains of others.
What they are missing is that the shortsightedness and instant gratification of 100 years of monetary policy have lead us to this situation where their hard earned savings are consistently melted away with money printing, forcing them to be in more volatile retirement positions than they should be in.
Like always, the answer they are asking for, without them even realizing it, is to kick the can down the road to future generations.
