The fuck does that even mean?

Exactly what he said you stupid fucking leaf.

Are you high?
Why are millenials not investing?

Because young people don't have money.

Is that Steve-O as a kid?

This

Economy is shit and people are afraid of losing assets, the 2 things that drive the market are greed and fear, and fear is now in play right now, so people are being cautious.

theyre fuckin stupid

Go figure, a leaf makes a shitty post.

because the basis of valuation makes astrology look like a respectable way of predicting things

They're frivolous
Yes
Exactly

Barriers to property investment are too high atm unless you already have capital to take advantage of the high rents and low rates.

Have they ever had money? The only reason thirty somethings complain about millenials is the fact that their generation is the biggest group of societal failures to ever exist. If anything this generation is the first beginnings of an improvement.

Because the housing market continually collapses because it only costs 10k to build a house but then magically the house is worth 350k after it's built. It's basically a worthless product that will eventually be worth it's component value or less.

Also millenials have no money since the previous generations plundered the entire planet's wealth and we are left with a collapsing corpse of a country.

They don't have money to invest

Why even try. Fucking chinks have annexed my province.

ITT: entitled children

>its always an Asian woman

every fucking time...

BLEACHED

listen you self fellating faggot - you're the one who made a fucking leafpost asking a question when you already were committed to an answer and wanted the 4cucks here to confirm your bias. Fuck right off you miserable cunt

...

...

Just curious, is there a theory for why that is?

they want to emphasize diversity but nobody likes black women

...

Interesting, thanks. Funny to think they're probably pushing Asian men and most other minorities to the right with this.

Because we have no money. I'm knee deep in student loans, but at least I'll get a decent engineering job and actually contribute something to society.

>investing in inflated markets that are on the verge of crashing

k

Property is artificially high. Commodities don't have much of a function, like silver/gold, or are priced artificially high, like stocks. Grain, coffee, and the like require land, which is priced artificially high.

Makes sense to me.

capitalism is gonna collapse within a decade desu who cares

Can't take it with you.

capitalism isn't going to collapse, they inflate and deflate so they can end up owning everything and enslaving us. Maybes the banking system will collapse temporarily and governments might be overthrown but private property, jobs and a monetary system will remain. (probs in a different form)

the cost of housing has far outpaced the rise of compensation.

I have about 10 grand saved up but in getting out of the Air Force next year. What do I do lads

Start looking for a job in the private sector that takes advantage of the skills that you have learned.

Unless you live in flyover country, ten grand isn't good for much other than getting a good used car or starting your gun collection.

I honestly don't believe my country is going to make it past new years. Why in the fuck would I dump money in the stock market or buy a house?

It’s been just over a month since Brexit Friday and the flames seem to have subsided. Amidst the talk of financial volatility, one country has been lauded by economists for its responsible fiscal policy and potential as a safe haven in this sea of instability: Canada.

Canada shares an interesting relationship with the United Kingdom and is set to sign the Canadian and European Union Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement (CETA) before Britain’s official exit from the EU. While Brexit’s impact on Canada will be largely indirect (through the effect Brexit has on the US), there are still a few ways in which the event could impact Canada.

An Overheating Canadian Housing Market
In early July, the Bank of Canada decided to hold its benchmark interest rate at 0.5% following a year that saw disruption from uneven consumer spending, the Alberta wildfires, and concerns over the ramifications of Brexit. The move will further fuel the already red-hot housing markets in Vancouver and Toronto.

While the pound’s nosedive could attract bargain-hunting buyers to the UK, there will likely be an increased appetite for Canadian assets as global investors look to safeguard their capital. Foreign investment will continue to flow into traditional markets like Vancouver, Calgary, and Toronto; even Montreal and Saskatoon are seeing increased interest.

According to Statistics Canada, over CAD $42 billion was invested in Canada last year by Japan and China. A look at trends in the inward flow of foreign direct investment for Canada also shows an 81% increase in real estate, rental, and leasing from all countries between 2012 and 2015. Home prices in Toronto and Canada as whole have hit a seven year high on an aggregate index level, and Vancouver appears to be headed in the same direction.

With policy makers seeking to dampen record home prices and levels of household indebtedness rising, the risk of a major potential correction in the near future looms for the Canadian economy. As international and national factors lead to lower growth projections for Canada this year, it remains to be seen how long the benchmark rate will be kept steady.

While the S&P TSX saw over 60% of companies in the index performing below their 50-day moving average (DMA) in the immediate aftermath of Brexit, three weeks later 70% of TSX companies were back to performing above 50 DMA. Most Canadian equities have been insulated from the UK; even key players like Enghouse Systems and Brookfield are relatively unaffected to date.

Brookfield Asset Management Inc., which holds nearly 10 million square feet of commercial real estate in London’s financial districts, recently announced its commitment to the UK as a long-term investor and its confidence in London upholding its title as one of the world’s leading financial hubs. London is currently home to most of Brookfield’s real estate investments in the EU. Other major Canadian names like plane and train manufacturer Bombardier (which has just over 7% exposure to the UK and 35% exposure to the EU) took the same stance as Brookfield in committing to its operations in the UK.

Global stock markets have since bounced back, but the initial uncertainty from Brexit created a rise in gold prices. Immediately after the vote, futures were up about 24% year-to-date while gold ETFs and stocks of key Canadian precious metal players like Barrick Gold Corp, TMAC Resources, Franco Nevada, and Goldcorp Inc. hit 52-week highs.

With high exposure to the precious metals sector, Canada is a beneficiary of this uncertainty. Over 77% of the companies in the S&P TSX Venture Composite that hit their 52-week highs belong to the metals and mining sector. With year-to-date gains of almost 24% and 45%, respectively, gold and silver have been largely responsible for the TSX Venture Composite Index’s significant year-to-date gain.

Gold prices have seen a pullback since early July. As investors look toward riskier investments, gold will continue to be in demand until visibility on economic policy outlook improves and market volatility simmers down.

Overall, the Canadian economy has relatively limited direct exposure to the UK in terms of trade. Canada currently sends just above 2% of its exports to the UK (still its third largest export market after the US and China).

From a product perspective, gold accounted for 62% of all Canadian exports to the UK last year. Brexit's impact on Canada’s trade with the UK is likely to be concentrated on two provinces: Ontario and Quebec. According to Statistics Canada, 7% of Canada’s exports to the UK are from Quebec while 83% of Canada’s exports to the UK are from Ontario.

Following Justin Trudeau’s ascendancy to Prime Minister, confidence in the government’s economic policy-making ability has increased. The World Economic Survey on Canada’s business climate for foreign investors indicates an improvement in business climate this year, with the government appearing to pave the path for future investments into Canada from around the world.

Despite this, multiple layers of uncertainty blanket the economic future of the UK and Canada’s other partners in the EU. The Bank of Canada will need to keep a watch on talks in Brussels and Britain in the run-up to Britain’s formal exit in preparation for any wider ramifications in the long term.

Guess we need a revolution then

because they don't have wealth idiot

>falling for the paper jew

real millennials are smarter than that

le bump

>why millenials xyz
into the trash.jpg

A lot of young people think the stock market is only for "smart people", and that investing is only something you start doing when you have a lot of money.

Why? To maintain what? A bunch of tribal superstitious and hedonistic apes in debilitating comfort?
Green revolution = yes.
But instead of creating better seeds they need to sterilize the worlds poor and the masses of uneducated.
- Everyone is freed from the system by virtue of the capitalists not having enough bodies to prop themselves up on or turn against each other.
- The environment is saved.
- Technology will be able to truly breath without Luddite interventions on behalf of wagecucks.

Ted Kaz is the man.
Not capitalism
Not communism
These things are from the industrialist age and anyone not there yet is irrelevant.
Just Green/scientific revolution.

Because most of them waste money on clubbing and other degenerate things. Also the majority only think about short-term satisfaction and not long-term fulfilment.

made me kek

They are waiting for the bubble to pup. Only an idiot buys at the top of the bubble.

Hasn't everything already been "engineered"? How much more shit do you think will need to be engineered? No sense reinventing the wheel every generation.

Basically a horrible time to be alive IMO.
