re You Predict the Fed will raise rates until the market screams to high heaven and the SM crashes.
Shrink the money supply? Why would they do that? They are doing everything possible to flood the system with increased money supply, “found money” derived from higher stock and real estate values.
You say we are in the 1920s or late 1930s? My opinion is the 1913 loss of USA independence and beginning of “fleecing” by other nations, ENDED in the summer of 2008. That era has ran its course. Good to the last drop.
Re your…”These guys are masters at creating booms/busts.”? Exactly right, but nothing stays the same forever. Because the boom bust cycle happened so many times, many people and sectors got “wounded” and never recovered as good as they were. Its over. A whole new world is evolving.
