Fleck... This has long been my opinion - SHTF when the Fed's action causes an opposite reaction (printing -> higher rates), or the Fed is no longer willing to be the lender of last resort... which is why this thread was started. Of course, there is always a possibility that the Fed always prints what's needed and whatever the amounts involved, which WILL lead to hyperinflation. So far this latter possibility realized, so we are on track to some Zimbabwization. That said, the Fed will likely employ stop and go approach, with huge liquidity injections only when things are blowing up. This will lead, and has already led to very difficult markets. Where they go will depend entirely on the Fed. "I caught up with my good friend Bill Fleckenstein for a schnitzel in Maui and we talked about his view (the same one we shared a few months ago). “We’ve already seen the crash,” he said, “As long as the government has a printing press; the next question becomes the full faith and credit of the United States.”" minyanville.com
