## Resource

As Baby Boomers continue to retire, some analysts expect financial markets to feel the strain. We examine whether demographic shifts truly shape stock and bond returns, or what other factors matter more. Topics covered include: Will retiring baby boomers lead to lower stock prices or higher interest rates Some earlier demographic predictions and how they worked out How do natural interest rates reflect the demand and supply of capital Why demographics are only one factor that determines economic growth and financial market returns Sponsors Gelt - Taxes Done Right Delete Me – Use code David20 to get 20% off Insiders Guide Email Newsletter Get our  free Investors' Checklist when you sign up for the free Money for the Rest of Us email newsletter Our Premium Products Asset Camp Money for the Rest of Us Plus Show Notes Zeihan Harry Dent Measuring the Natural Rate of Interest—Federal Reserve Bank of New York Distribution of Household Wealth in the U.S. since 1989—The Federal Reserve Related Episodes Related Episodes 487: Are We Heading for a 2030s Depression?
