next up, citadel will no doubt try to ipo, before the end game, so that they can buy shares with public money, and can even buy own shares

read 'the great crash - 1929' - it described trusts, trust of trusts, blind pools (special purpose acquisition companies), and leverage on leverage, and goldman sachs, etc

we are fortunate, to be able to witness history past

IF that reasonable 1000:1 leverage collaspses, enormous amounts of money will be destroyed.

It is likely the loans will called, and prices for all assets will drop - DEFLATION. The price of gold may rise slightly, but where you want to be is cash or the bonds of a liquid government.

Or, an almost infinite amount of money is printed - causing massive INFLATION- in which case gold will soar, and bonds
will drop.

So which comes first ? And how do we tell ?
