It is just that you are shit scared that, Fed might increase interest rate and stop hyperinflation.

I hope you are more accurate in your reads of the market than you are in your read of my position.

You keep missing the point of my concerns. I don't know why, when you are not being nasty to folks, you seem to have a good head on your shoulders. Perhaps you ought to take a few breaths and try to regain some balance before your ranting and cursing at people leads you to say things you might later regret.

My position has nothing to do with what the Fed does or doesn't do at this point. You are the one that brought the Fed into it with your example of 25% Fed rate. I only asked you to think through what the USD would have to look like for that to occur.

See, your anger leads you to say stuff like:
It is just that you are shit scared that, Fed might increase interest rate and stop hyperinflation.......and then look foolish when it turns out not to be the case.

First of all, in your brief tirade there, you already owned hyperinflation as the thing being combatted by the Fed move.

Nonetheless.....my position is that the possibility exists (in at least equal measure to other major possibilities) that the USD could experience a sudden and catastrophic loss of confidence on the part of the rest of the world and that this, if it occurred, would trigger hyperinflation in those things measured in USDs. It was interesting to see this weekend that the International Bank of Settlements expressed similar concerns.

Poor guy, Fed stood up to fight inflation and is on the way to 4.75.

Good, I hope they keep fighting it. But if my hunch is correct, the strong possibility exists that it won't matter at this point.

All you hyperinflationists are shit scared of higher interest rates. Welcome to the real world...

If that outcome has any likelihood of occurring, we all should be very concerned.

I am so glad you think you have a firm grasp on reality, it must be a comfort.
