I learned a lot of good words working in Frankfurt at the bourse. And yes Simon, equities are toast for now. The rising tide lifts all boats inflation to which you allude comes in the next chapter, after we bottom this old wreck and drive most of the investment community into bonds, where they will then get killed. I have just three words for you: Option Adjusted Duration. ;) Thank’s netfred. I learned a lot of good words working in Frankfurt at the bourse.

But then I find that the FED is going to print more money and give it to the banks in return for their toxic assets and I realise that when you can run the printing presses day and night without causing inflation there really is no problem. Yet! When will the piper need to be paid? How will he be paid? I hope it won't be in blood. Every time I read a post by Chris I just want to go and sell any and all equities I hold and buy gold.

At the risk of repeating myself one more time, public financing of elections is a sine qua non condition to sensible and major reforms of the FIRE sector. Otherwise, some very ugly things are bound to happen in the next several years.

Surely the wise men at the Fed wouldn’t create another bubble.

Would they?
