What Happens When A Market Goes To Zero?
Most people have an idea of what it would mean if a stock goes to zero, but how about an entire market?
And, "going to zero" is actually just a concept that we apply to stocks, when in reality, most corporations are worth something, even when the corporation closes its doors. And people have tried to purchase stock after a corporation has gone bankrupt so that they can get part of the bankruptcy settlements. Soooo, "going to zero" is really just a saying used to convey that the corporation is going bankrupt.
Many people have shouted/typed in all caps, that bitcoin is going to zero. Which is ludicrous because many, many people believe in bitcoin. And some would like to go back to the good ole days when they were the few that were exchanging in magic internet money. So, going to zero here could be when all the exchanges close up shop. Or, we have all gone back to living in caves, with no internet and no electricity, and no computers.
However, the real estate market is going to zero.
This is going to get weird.
How does a market get to zero?
Well, two ways i can think of:
- No one wants the commodity anymore.
- No one believes in the commodity anymore.
The NYSE stocks may go to zero, as it is shown/proven that there is a LOT of fraud there AND Cede and Co has taken all the stocks. Most people will be swearing off stocks, or pulling out their hair while they wait for other people to negotiate who got what.
It could also happen if all the corporations on the NYSE go out of business.
We could discuss buggy whips after the automobile. But, there are horse/buggy enthusiasts who still buy them, although the much fewer today than 100 years ago.
Imagine a market where people have decided that they DO NOT WANT the product. Like, it was food, found to be poison. Or people wouldn't be caught dead with it. Maybe something like "whale oil" after kerosene replaced it, and Green Peace had made it illegal to own, and people were revolted when they saw it.
It is really hard imagining a market going to zero.
The Commercial Real Estate Market
Everything on the MSM should be saying, real estate is crashing.
One, very large, very expensive piece of commercial real estate sold for 10¢ on the dollar. But, the reports should have been, these people were lucky to sell it for so much. They got out early.
Commercial real estate is dying, going out of style, has no future. Malls all over have many empty stores. Many malls have been closed down. The big stores that used to hold down the corners are gone. Out of business or just moved online.
People are now working from home, fewer and fewer want to go into work. No employees in the office mean no office is needed. Covaids lockdowns opened the door to work-from-home. And now, the companies can't put the genie back in the bottle. They are left with a lease on office space they haven't used in years.
And AI is going to replace so many workers, especially those in paper shuffling. Meaning, even less office space will be needed.
There isn't many wanting to start a business and rent a store front or an office. Soooo, there are a lot of big buildings that are just going to become more and more vacant.
This market is going to zero
The Real Estate Market: Suburban Homes
People are still complaining about their not being enough homes.
However, builders are finding it impossible to sell the houses that they just built.
The declining demographic picture states that housing prices are about to drop off a cliff. And you can't argue with demographics. The largest generation is about to kick the bucket and drop 25% of the houses on the market.
- Boomers moving to retirement homes
- T.H.E.Y. already have another plandemic planned.
- ICE is leaving a lot of empty houses in their wake
- Natural and unnatural disasters are coming.
- …
There will be so many empty suburban houses that, if you want one, just move into one you like.
And, this is just the backdrop on a change in society.
Real estate will be verboten.
People's entire relationship with land will change. Like, every aspect of it.
People will be growing their own food (out of necessity AND the desire for non-poisoned food) and this will require having space on the land for a greenhouse and a barn. Tiny suburban yards will be seen as a death sentence.
People will see that denying a person a place to sleep and grow food is similar to killing them personally. And there is a lot of space, a lot of land that no one is using.
People will stop calling it real estate. It is NOT the king's estate! The govern-cement has no rights over the property, and no claims to its production. When the govern-cement tries to kick a group out of a property they obviously upgraded and have taken care of, they will be forcefully expelled, by everyone. Many govern-cements will pass away.
People will see themselves as the caretakers of the land. Everything will be flipped, people will see the land as owning them/supporting them, opposite of what we think now.
People will be furious about what the banksters did to people, especially "home owners". Bank will not be allowed to own land. 1st, the banksters are not maintaining the land, so it is not viewed as theirs. 2nd, the banks will be dying, there won't be many left to give out a mortgage anyway.
People will not see land as something "sellable". Especially not for fiat currency. There is so much land out there, go find a good spot and build it up. Billy Gatez is said to own lots of farmland. But, all he has is money. He is not growing anything on it. He is not improving the soil. He isn't even there. He does not own the land, nor will he be allowed to keep it. If any farmer moves to that spot and becomes its caretaker, they will have far more claim to the land.
And so, "real estate", as a term, will become verboten.
Money will not buy you land.
And so, the "real estate market" will be gone, meaningless, abandoned for better paradigms.
