I got laid off yesterday due to ‘economic issues’, and the juxtaposition of the stock market hitting a record high was not lost on me.
That sucks, sorry buddy.
On the plus side unemployment is also hitting record lows so there should be something out there for you.
paywall
You can get through the NY Mag paywall by opening in a private tab.
Wait this can’t be happening! It is the end of the world there is no hope. All is doom and gloom.
How is Wall Street doing well impact me?
Buy weekly calls /s
Nah. I only invest in the market a bit and it is all buy+hold index funds. Most of my investments are in real stuff. Like paying for my wife’s uni degree, buying a rental property with my brother-in-law, getting a tutor for my kids in math. You will never be poor if everyone you is doing well. Besides I trust my family friends a lot more than I trust Goldman Sachs mortgage backed securities and Bear Stearns.
The /s meant: sir this is a Wendy’s.
