Nice view, as always appreciated. I have expected some
sort of a Risklove collapse, followed by another
major Fed printing. Not happening, so far - some huge
prevention mechanism at work.

Hyperinflation is the ultimate nightmare,
in which everything goes up in price, some things more than
others, just as you said, and there is no real way to
determine what exactly will rise more, as the advance in
prices becomes erratic. The toxic stuff will collapse.
I don't know about Fixed - thinking lenders could be the
bagholders there. Who are the lenders? Banks package the
mortgages and sell it back to us, 401K plans, collecting
a fee or some rate difference in the process. So, we are the
bagholders.

"So I differ in how I view the conditions of the Ponzi units (PU) themselves. PU's are like heroin addicts, they need more and more additional debt to sustain them"

And the biggest Ponzi units are US households. Can they still get more heroin? Who and how will supply it?
