The Difference Between Rich and MegaRich
You've probably heard that the rich get richer.
Recently, there was much attention paid to the 1%. Perhaps, the 1% of the 1% is even more interesting.
Here is a chart that shows how much the disparity between the rich and the really rich has widened over the past few decades.
Source: Mother Jones via Barry Ritholtz.The average real income of the top 1 percent has increased more than 175 percent as the bottom 90 percent merely treads water.
Meanwhile, during the same period, the top earners — the 1 percent of the 1 percent – have gained about 500 percent.

Stories will never die, but the ways we tell them are changing.

How Likely Is It That the Market Rallies Here?
Was just looking at a chart of the S&P 500 Index …
Seems that we are at a decision point. Several years of history suggest that prices hold here.
In addition, the following video shows Ray Dalio explaining why he agrees with the Fed about interest rates.
More from Bridgewater's Dalio here .
He warns, however, that due to The Federal Reserve's extreme monetary policy, "the prospective return of asset classes is very narrow," with expected returns for equities of "only about 4 percent."This is a problem, he explains, as monetary policy relies on that transmission mechanism of apparent wealth creation to keep the dream alive.
While he believes in the short-term, the US economy can maintain stability (not commenting on the market per se), his "biggest concern is when the next downturn comes in 1-2 years," the central bank must be on the 'tighter' side of market expectations to be capable of providing its life-giving elixir once again.
Nonetheless, Dalio sums it up by reminding … "There is always a downturn."
