Just the machines in action.
You can't fight the oiled 600 Trillion dollar market.
It rules, everything else is meaningless, but one day
it must crash, just as it did last Fall.

The other outcome is for the Fed to
print 600 Trillion, which is what has been happening
on somewhat smaller scale (12 Trillion notional PRIVATE counterparty
obligations were assumed by the Fed) so far. I'm sure the
boyz will lever 'em up to 600 Quadrillion then, and we'll
be all bubbly happy, especially us bugs.

While it all goes on, we will be left to wonder - will it
crash now or will the bubble go on forever into hyperinflation.

My bet is forever, unless the Fed body is cancelled or some
other scenario with a similar restriction on the printing press
unfolds. Buy a big Mac. Even as it rots, it could be worth
trillions later on. You can buy anything, but not everything
will soar equally. The preference is to catch the next big
bubble. -g-
