>>So, what asset class will they inflate this time?<< No, not GOOG. GOG (Gold/Oil/Grain), AKA commodities.

Unless banks start lending, there can be no bubblefication. Plus, there is no asset class left to be bubblefied.

i can't see any type of reflating working at this point... thomas barrack, of colony capital said earlier on cnbc that the current market confusion presents opportunity....he doesn't like equities or RE, but said something about an opportunity in the arbitrage of fixed income (i had to google that one) en.wikipedia.org Fixed-income arbitrage is an investment strategy generally associated with hedge funds, which consists of the discovery and exploitation of inefficiencies in the pricing of bonds, i.e. instruments from either public or private issuers yielding a contractually fixed stream of income.
