    I imagine a lot of this data is because they are the ones cashing out so I don’t know how accurate this is. I feel Its more likely the American population’s 401k are losing the value here. Billionaires selling off billions vs my measly 100k is going to have a more dramatic market effect. If that’s the case hopefully we see some massive capital gains tax… But my guess is this money is being reinvested somewhere else or offshored.

    i mean they dint pay 2.7 trillion taxes, so this can be fair game to them. maybe this is a way to tax the rich, but making lose almost as much.

      Absolutely not.

      The rich have offshore accounts funneling money between countries currencies and stocks. They are well diversified. A crash won’t hurt them.

      This is killing the average worker. Exactly what they want.
