It's the new Roaring Twenties, so let's call up an authentic voice from the last such era: Thorstein Veblen, an economist and social critic who coined the phrase "conspicuous consumption." I've advocated that everyone stick with what's working, choose higher-yielding investments over lower-yielding ones, reinvest returned cash and new money, and ignore short-term, news-driven setbacks. In 2019, the strategists and portfolio managers all told me that low inflation, falling interest rates and a compliant Federal Reserve have built a concrete floor under share prices.
