What was said around it

prove these theories with a whole bunch of math that I don't understand because I didn't pay attention to anything in high school. But the result was just this. They found that investing $1 in the market increases the aggregate market value by $5, not 1 cent like the average person thought. The purpose was to help explain stock market volatility, find the root cause of rising prices, and estimate the Fed impact of money printing within the economy. And that means when we have a ratio of 5:1 and companies are sitting on a record amount of cash on the sidelines, we could continue to see the stock market going higher and higher. Now, Michael Bur explains that 5:1 is not a natural ratio. It's a product of a paradigm. So what will continue this paradigm? What may reserve it? This is the knife's edge because we are at 5:1. It may go to 100 to one or become neg 5 to negative 1, but parabas don't resolve sideways. Or basically to sum things up, he's just saying that 5:1 is not a sign of an efficient market where one investor buys a stock that the other sells. This type of increase within the market is extremely dangerous because it could just as easily reverse or go up another 20 times. But
