C2, if you don't hold equities, what do you hold? That must mean you ditched the FAZ shares too - ouch... Financial relativity theory shows that as "quantitative easing" roars through the system, anything measured in $ will increase in price [unless they are losing value because impecunious people no longer wish to buy them, they are obsolete etc]. Big Ben claims to be able to disinflate the stupendously huge puff-ball he has created to replace the fractional reserve monetary puff-ball created by the financial institutions en masse. Perhaps he can. There will be plenty of squealing as that process happens as swarms more people find themselves on the wrong side of the ledger. Bringing the whole monstrosity back to Earth will be interesting. The losers in all of this are the creditors [who lose their money], the borrowers [who lose "their" assets and the money they have poured into funding them], those who were supplying the "wealthy" borrowers and lenders with luxury goods and services which are now unaffordable, the savers whose savings are stolen by dilution and tax by politicians to rescue the foolish, and the general taxpayers who will be burdened with obligations inflicted on them by politicians and the indebted electorates.
