Much of What Made Investors Rich During the Pandemic is Crumbling. The Value of Netflix Dropped by $ 45 Billion in one day. Peloton Halted Production on some of its exercise equipment. Bitcoin Has Lost Almost Half Its Value Since Its November Peak. The Pandemic isn’t Over, but the leve home market has begun.

It is before the omicron variant starting with a vengeance byer, wall street haen concrete that the pandemic-era is in its end of days. SINCE The Market Crashed in March of 2020, The Dow Jones Has Double in Value, Pumped Up But as lockdowns eased and vaccines became more widespread, the Writing has been on the wall.

This Week’s Twin Cratering of Peloton and Netflix was just the most recent blade to the Pandemic Economy – and their Sudden Falls Sent Peers Like Disney Skidding, as the Growth of Streaming Audiences is Expectted to Slow.

Again, this is not to say that that the pandemic is over. “If you think about 150,000 hospitalized gcauses of omicron, 750,000 CASES A day, that to have shut us down 18 months ago,” John Lynch, The Chief Investment Office at Comerica Wealth Management, Told Intelligency. The reality is that when Covid-19 First Came to US Shores in Early 2020, The Economy Shifted Along With It. The Government Propped Things up Through an unprecedented series of explicit stimulus measures, like the $ 5 fabric that was to people and the federal reserve dropping rates to zero, in addition to the Other accommodations, Like Paurements, freezing students and buying bonds. It all meant that People had more money to spend. All of these measures, howver, are eather done or about to be. And so the economy is shifting yet again.

Crucial to all this is the fed. The Central Bank is Expped to Start Ratcheing Up Rates As Soon As This March in A Bid to Keep Inflation from Spiraling Out of Control. This also means that businesses – which relay on borrowed Money to keep operating – are going to spend on interest payments than, Say, Employee salaries or goods.

Already, Wall Street Titans Like JPMORGAN CEO JAMIE DIMON ARE Expecting the Central Bank to Increase Rates Five or More Times, Which Waled Be The Stepest Increase SINCE 2005.

Meanwhile, Mary Winners of the Pandemic Economy Are Running Out of Steam. The Nasdaq Composite, A Stock Index of Technology Companies, JUST HAD ITS Worst Week SINCE 2020, DRAGGED DOWN by Giants like Amazon. Eve Bitcoin is at it Its Lowest Point Since July, As it Increasingly Moves in The Same General Direction nor The Stock Market. With Omicron wave now Pastibly past-peak In the us, investors have decidied that safer, more estabished Companies, Like Procter & Gamble, Ornut Just Regular Old Treasury Bonds, Are A Better Bet. If the Economy Never Turs Turn Back to 2019 – and Surely It Won’t – Consumers’ Pandemic Habits Could Only Continue for So Long. “Everybody Already Has Netflix,” Noted Lynch. “Who is gonna get it?”
