Popping debt bubbles are not inflationary. The printed money goes into a black hole left behind by the destruction of asset values. The net result is hopefully not still deflationary, but it often still is.

Debt bubble aftermaths result in long periods of low inflation and slow or no growth. They also result in long periods (15-years or more on average) of low bond yields.

The folks on the inflation boat are going to be disappointed for many years to come.

Patron,

Hmmm, I thought you might have a lower target. 600 seems natural to me, but I expect an overshoot.

Thanks. I've thought about deploying some of the captured 401K money for a fast bounce play, but I've been fortunate that I keep putting it off. Just like I have with getting short treasuries. No one has made a fortune on that play just yet.
