Seeking alpha is nearly impossible today, as you noted. Yield curves are flat. I'm not sure what that says exactly - obviously it's multivariate - but combined with the rise of cryptocurrency and the current government, we definitely have a unique situation on our hands.

Honestly, though, it's a great time to be young and taking chances. Resources to become an entrepreneur have never been more plentiful/cheap, and the current business environment is incredibly favorable. For now, anyway.
