It is very clear to me that the world has changed. Most people have not yet caught on to this. Despite opinions to the contrary, it was not decreed in heaven that housing and equity prices must always go up!

Once there was an economy in which people bought what they required, flour, meat, ale. Then there was an economy in which highly paid marketing personnel thrust advertising resources into persuading us to buy items for which our requirements were strictly limited, like purple-and-green turtle shaped toddlers’ paddling pools. Now we have a planet – unless we believe ourselves to be mysteriously cleverer at climate science than those who actually study the topic – in rapid terminal decline. Yet economists still speak longingly of Perpetual Growth as if it did not come out of the same sack as the engineer’s dream of Perpetual Motion. Perhaps, with luck, some of us will survive the starvation to come, and the species won’t become extinct. But I expect all the other species rather hope we will indeed become extinct.

The only thing that concerns a smart investor is ‘growth’. In the stock market, the share prices and the respective company’s worth are directly proportional to each other. The investor should therefore always go for companies that are constantly rising in worth.
