Venezuela's stock market has surged over 150,000% in the past five years—this number sounds crazy, but the logic behind it is actually very harsh. Traditional supply and demand, performance growth, and valuation systems have completely failed here. The explosive growth of those numbers is essentially a mirror of currency devaluation.

When a country's currency credit collapses, cash is shrinking daily, and ordinary people's choices are actually very limited—either convert assets into hard assets and equity assets, or watch their money rapidly evaporate. The stock market has become the last safe haven, not because companies are truly growing, but because there are no better options. This vicious cycle of economic collapse followed by hyperinflation is, to some extent, playing out in certain markets. It is worth being vigilant.

150,000% sounds exciting, but it's actually just a countdown to the death of currency. There's really no better choice, it's truly hopeless.

150,000%? It's just a numbers game. The coin has become worthless like paper, and no matter how high the stock price is, it's useless. Under the inflation meat grinder, everyone has to rush into hard assets, and that's the cruel part. It seems like astronomical growth, but in reality, it's just a word game. It's meaningless. Some emerging markets are starting to have this flavor now, and upon closer thought, it's terrifying. Once currency credit collapses, all investment logic must give way. To put it plainly, it's about survival.

150,000% sounds great, but it's really just a numbers game. People who are actually in Venezuela have long since run away. This is how currency credit collapses. The more outrageous the stock market gains, the worse the economy is. This logic hits hard. By the way, some emerging markets' current trends look very similar, so we need to be cautious.

This is the truth about the inflation spiral. No matter how rapidly the numbers increase, they can't change the fact that the currency is shrinking. When people have no options, they can only rush into the stock market, but this is not a rise; it's just changing positions on a sinking ship. The current situation in some places indeed warrants a question mark. Don't wait until it truly collapses to react. 15万% sounds impressive, but in reality, it's just the currency committing suicide. This pattern is truly dangerous. It appears prosperous but is actually falling into a pit.

150,000% sounds impressive, but ultimately it's just a heartbeat game of collapsing currencies. Who is the stock market numbers scaring? In reality, everyone is just fleeing. If there's no choice, just pile into equities. Anyway, cash is dying every day. This kind of vicious cycle is too harsh; you really need to keep a close eye on your holdings.

According to the database, the 150,000% increase in Venezuela has been over five years and some days since the last "real growth," and it is recommended to be included in the Guinness delay record.
