"So, unless the Fed goes hyper and decides to become perpetual
money printing machine, activity on Wall Street is likely
to die out in the coming years, along with legit volume of
trading. There will be more problems of the same kind,
the market running out of lemmings."

I think you could be tapping into a possible truth here. The ratio of HFT trades to old-fashioned investor trades has mushroomed. How many retail 'investors' have the courage and skills to brave these manipulated markets? Can't be many.

I spent the weekend considering non-Bankster options for diversification out of paper investments.

One big problem is portability. I know you understand what it is to emigrate if conditions dictate. Apart from one remaining family member, I'd have little reservation against re-location. A separate problem is what to do with my nest egg if it's here in the US. I can only fill my pockets with so much gold before the 'authorities' stop me and demand their 'share'. I'm only luke warm on buying real estate for rental purposes. If the US gets so uncomfortable that I want to leave, I don't think the value of rental units will be optimized.

Perhaps a good idea for a new thread would be investment options outside the influence of Washington DC and Wall Street.
