The direct bailout will happen because it is inevitable.

It is way too dangerous to fool around with ultrashort real estate and financial ETFs. The government will ruin the party.

Gold and strong currencies are the only way to go. With inflation and declining dollar, US investors have to make about 12% just to stay put, not lose ground.

Devilishly hard to do for most investors.

But not if you take out the declining dollar as a factor by plunking down your capital in strong currencies. A way to partially beat the conundrum.

A global thing.
