| Believe me, historically, deflations have always been more wrenchingly painful than hyperinflations. Hyperinflation at least allows a clean start. How about if your $100K mortgage was suddenly the equivalent of $2M.
The Chinese won't dump debt. It's not in their interest to take big losses or kill their markets or drive down the value of their investments. The Chinese are partners at this point. As for the Dow, I don't think that 7500 or 8000 is an unrealistic bottom. There's a lot of speculative froth that still needs to flush out.
My guns and ammo values are at all time highs though. |
