title: Talking about a K-shape economy...
description: "The gap between Wall Street and Main Street has never been bigger:\n➡️ Main Street: US consumer sentiment is down to 47.6 points, the lowest level in history.\n➡️Wall Street: the S&P 500 is trading just 3% from its all-time high.\n\n⚠️ Since the 2020 pandemic, consumer sentiment has fallen -50%.\nDuring the same period, the S&P 500 has rallied +205%.\n\nThis comes as inflation, rising housing costs, and a weakening job market are increasingly squeezing the average American household.\n\nMeanwhile, 87% of all equities are held by the wealthiest 10% of households.\n\nAsset owners are the biggest winners in this economy.\n\nSource: The Kobeissi Letter, zerohedge"
