Tommaso re source of funds

"And if there is an effort to exchange all these other assets for treasuries, the result will be a collapse of equity prices and also a big decline in the prices of less secure bonds. A bond in actual danger of default can sell for pennies on the dollar, and bonds even of profit-making companies can be cut from par to half their value, when their interest rates go from 8% to 16%."

This is the script for what will happen in the next couple of years IMO. It is not fun when you can't get a bid for a AAA bond and I've been there.
