“Most financial commentators are of the view that increases in the stock market strengthens economic growth. The reason being because the increase in stock prices lifts consumer and business optimism, which in turn boosts the consumers and businesses demand for goods and services, which in turn strengthens the economy. But is it valid to hold that what drives the economy is the demand for goods and services?” (04/15/25)
