General Discussion

But there are some steps that regular people can take too, and I have not seen any hands raised or even movements to do this.

For example, an Investor Strike against the U.S. market would make a big difference. Almost $50 billion a month enters the U.S. stock market every month from 401K and IRA contributions, and the stock market depends on that inflow. If that number dropped even 10-15%, the entire market would feel the impact. Investors could simply send those contributions to a different stock market. Almost all 401K plans have global investment fund options, and there are global ETFs and mutual funds that people can buy in their IRAs. There are plenty of countries that have rule of law and well-regulated markets and would love our money.

I will circle back to this at some point.
