If hyperinflation succeeds, the market will sustain a huge rally, even if the real value declines. I would expect the market to rally in the short (perhaps, very short) term regardless, because the sheeple believe THE MAN is in charge. In America, people want you do DO SOMETHING, to intervene. If a woman has a child birth disaster, a malpractice suit is far more likely to prevail over a doctor/hospital which 'sat tight' versus one which intervened e.g. with a C-section. So the C-section is performed as readily as giving tylenol. The hospital and doctor get paid another $8k for major surgery, and the patient's ability to sue if something goes wrong is severely diminished, because the doctor did something versus doing NOTHING. Same as Americans going in for a virus and demanding antibiotics, because they want their doctor to do something, for gawd's sake. Now we have super germs. Somebody do something. But the one thing I keep harking back to is that the ones pushing the pawns for the gov't have allowed this mess to incubate, to fester, and to rupture, and so the good faith of the US taxpayer has now been placed at enormous risk by these same deep thinkers who created this toxic brew. There isn't a bone in my body, not even my malleus, incus, nor stapes, which believe those turkeys have suddenly got it right when for all these years they've gotten so much so dramatically wrong. If only their mistakes would end today, but they will not.
