Talk of a stock market crash has been in the minds of investors and business professionals for years now, this morning breaking the long awaited silence. Following Japan’s largest crash since 1987, the U.S. economy worries for its own inevitable fate. The economy’s volatile nature poses many concerns and questions regarding the real estate market, peaking professionals’ interest in how this crash may shape the way citizens invest their money. Will the market suffer due to fluctuating interest rates, pricing, and a loss of consumer confidence, or will the younger generation feel more confident putting their assets in a controlled physical entity rather than the erratic unknown of the stock world? 

According to a Forbes article written last year, more and more Millennials and Gen Z view the stock market with skepticism and mistrust, with “ [80%] of young investors look[ing] [for] alternative investments, such as private equity, commodities, real estate and other tangible assets.” Living through such social change and uncertainty, it makes sense that younger generations tend to pursue being in the know, rather than taking the risks that previous generations were willing to gamble on. 

Because it’s still early on, the unpredictable nature of the stock market makes it impossible to know with certainty exactly what repercussions will follow this major setback.
