And it is.
It concerns you to a certain extent, but just because you see those problems exist, it could be years before anything really shows up as a problem down the line.
And you have to think of that, too.
If you are right, but you are right early, you're not doing investors any good either because these companies could go up 200, 300, 400 percent before you see any cracks in anything.
Look, I think CNBC is here to chronicle what is happening, not just in the markets, but in business writ large.
And my understanding of what that can do to unlock potential for everyday citizens has grown phenomenally over the time that I've been here.
If you're not invested in the markets and if you're not somebody who is investing from the time you are, let's say, 21, 22, you get a job when you're out of school, out of university and college.
I was fortunate enough to go to work for Dow Jones at The Wall Street Journal, and it was a pretty paternalistic company.
And they started putting money aside for us, right?
Instead of having the pension fund that they used to have, we had a 401k plan, but they would take and put money aside after you were there for a certain amount of time, they would put 15% of your salary in.
every year into this fund all of the defaults when you started there were that you would invest your own money into the 401k plan as well you had to opt out of it instead of opt into it and when you're 21 and 22 and kind of stupid about these things i will tell you years later it was the best decisions they could have ever made for me that they were taking this money and putting it kind of forcing me i i could have said no but it would have taken more work for me to get out of it and so often we just go with the defaults when you're that age okay fine i'll go along with it
It was the best decisions that had ever been made for me.
And for a long time, that money that I saved up in my eight years there made far more money than anything I was ever building, even when I was putting a lot of money aside later in life, because it had a long runway.
Because it was money when I was 21, 22 years old that started saving up and started really building.
And it had a really long runway.
I think our job is to try and help educate people to let them know if...
You can do this on a normal salary if you are putting small amounts of money away early and making sure that you're investing in these things.
And look, it may just be invest in the S&P 500, which is the 500 largest companies in America.
You're betting on America if you're doing those things.
You don't necessarily have to pick the winners and everything.
