Another enchanting, wonderful and positive video from Steven. He is not like those click bait doomsday apocalyptic talking people we see all the time, no no.

Not to be greedy on comments, but FYI, I just sold an investment house rental that was due to renew its commercial loan next year. It would’ve had a balloon payment at the end, which I would’ve either had to pay or refinance. Given that I don’t know where the economy is going to be next year, for what the interest rates are going to be, and the fact, real estate is still going crazy in my part of the country, I decided that this is pretty close to the top and I maybe I should get out while the getting is good. I had my real estate agent overprice the house by significant margin versus the neighborhood and the local evaluations. Within three days of it going on the market, we had 50 people come through, we actually had a fight break out in the house between potential buyers, and in the end, there was a bidding war, which bid the price well over the over priced asking price. I am may be only a little sad that I didn’t ask for more from the start. But since pigs get slaughtered, I am quite happy with the outcome, particularly since it closed very rapidly, and closed for cash! So this is an actual real world, example of inflation, out of control, and why the Fed needs to stick to his guns and defeat, inflation before it ravages us all. In the meantime, I will use my proceeds to further inflate the stock market, and the economy :-)

I work for a $150B company who's dumping many of commercial real estate building right now. Three properties of our in the SF Bay Area rent up for sale last week.

In times of Transition, it's good to be prepared.
I spent $3.50 on 4 Brussels Sprouts plants yesterday. By Fall, I shall have $30.00 of Brussel Sprouts making almost 300% on my investment in 4 Months.
TY for Report Steve.
Invest in Sprouts for reliable Growth.
Downtown Mpls and St. Paul are still largely Ghost Towns. I have no clue who is renting all this Empty Space. It they are smart, they are growing Sprouts.
Obviously, there is much opportunity to repurpose office space.
A couple Trillion in Government Grants and we can make it happen.

[ghostshock]

I think you're also missing a trick here. A lot of people have fled big cities because of crime and corruption.

[davidlasoff]

Banks upside down, CRE valuations down,
CRE occupancies down,
Old HTM bond prices down,
Regional bank deposits down, down down
Bank lending down down
Yeah Jay, raise the Funds rate, you 🤡.

[chrisgrover]

I think you are spot on that the govt is going to try to push people back to the office anyway they can.

[Aedonius]

Oh my, here we are yet again! It's Steven in all his radiant splendor, gracing our unworthy screens with another masterstroke of positivity. How on Earth does he do it? It's like he's hoarding all the world's optimism and generously sprinkling it in our lives one video at a time.

I mean, heavens to Betsy, look at all those dire clickbait mongers, the doom-and-gloom brigade, sprouting apocalyptic theories faster than you can say 'armageddon'. It's a wonder we haven't all crumbled under the weight of their persistent pessimism.

But then, enter our mighty hero, Steven. It's as if he's single-handedly constructed an impenetrable fortress of hope, where unicorns frolic and rainbows paint the sky every day. In this fortress, apocalypses are merely laughable farces, something to chuckle at over a cup of freshly brewed morning sunshine.

Ahh, Steven, you absolute marvel. Not just refusing to partake in this end-of-the-world palaver, but actively dismantling it with every golden nugget of wisdom you bless us with. Your videos, they're like a beacon of cheer in a sea of doomsday disco lights.

It's all sunshine, rainbows, and lollipops with you, isn't it, Steven? Well, keep them coming, because in this world gone slightly mad, your unswerving positivity is just the absurdly delightful tonic we need. No no, indeed.

[Numberboyz]

The sad part is the down grade isn’t the only thing, commercial industry, higher interest rates and a communist administration. We are in deep trouble.

[Jb-uyzx]

Always appreciate the positive outlook Steve!

[stevenschwartz-vflg]

China is in worse shape than we are with deflation. Germany is already in recession. There isn’t anyone to alleviate the coming financial meltdown. This is going to be worldwide and a long and painful process.

[Kimsooyhun]

Most people don't even realize that the economy is collapsing and there is an increasing rate of unemployment worldwide so take advantage and prepare while things are still on the shelf in the store

[JillianGoralski]

The more doomsday videos the higher the market goes.

[Mike-B.]

No, Steve, people are not going back to work. Wehn you cut SANP, CRIME is going up. People will try everything to stay home.Retail will close.

[Hydrogen]

12:16 naa, people rather starve to death than do a 2-3h commute each and every day. The age of de-urbanization has begun.

[claytontom]

THE BLOWOFF TOP WAS FRIDAY, YES, BUY NVDA AT THE TOP. LOOK DOWN FROM HERE

[MrUseur]

The FED likes to see smaller banks fail. The FED likes to provide the banking business to the most powerful large scale banks. All happens purposely

[davefromkansas]

Doomsday is May 31, 2023 at 10:30 am when FDIC makes their big announcement. Q1 report of 2023 is it's engineered this way.

[gort]

There's going to be a crash, and then the crash is going to crash.

[waynewilcox]

Don't count on prices of office buildings dropping. There's no shortage of rich people with dollars they need to park somewhere to avoid further currency collapse. There's also millions of people coming into this country as future serfs who should not even be here. Think about all the low-wage, low-skill work in this country, and the lack of a domestic labor pool. Think about 19th century company towns. They need to be warehoused somewhere. All these buildings need is a single shower room, and you can start warehousing people, as well as plugging them into these low-wage, low-skill jobs. Oligarchy coming to America.
