title: "A very interesting chart: we're currently in a relatively rare situation where households have more wealth invested in the stock market than in physical property!"
description: "This crossover has only happened a couple of times in modern history, most notably in the late 1960s and again in the late 1990s. \n\nWhat's particularly striking is that both of those periods preceded major bear markets that lasted for years.\n\nWhat this means practically is that households have become increasingly concentrated in equity investments, making them more vulnerable to stock market volatility. \n\nWhen your wealth is primarily in stocks and the market drops, you lose wealth quickly. \n\nReal estate tends to be more stable and less prone to sudden crashes, though it can still decline. \n\nThe US Government can not afford a bear market... Should we prepare ourselves for a \"Trump put\" in 2026? \n\nSource: Wells Fargo, StockMarket.news"
