Loading ...I agree that a hyperinflation is also possible. If total loss in confidence of paper money, and there there is still lots of un-invested cash and credit available, on the side lines ready to drive stocks and real estate even higher?
I guess we can consider all the Bonds and CDs as cash on the sidelines in a panic to buy stocks and real estate as protection from inflation? They kinda been doing that. Will they do it harder-faster? 🙂 Another thought, if real estate starts crashing and mortgages stop getting paid, like ’08, that would be deflationary.
In the back of my mind reversal of of the Dollar’s past loss in value makes sense. The Dollar already lost about 95% of its original value since 1913. Is it really going to get any smaller? Either way, hyperinflation of deflation lets hope its a FAST transition like a fast moving thunder storm. And the sun comes out.
TPTB prefer inflation obviously, and HATE deflation. They would DIE if our money in your pockets cash on hand GAINED value without handing it over to big brother investing it. Think about new houses at $10,000 you can buy 10 for a $100k. That happened in Detroit already.
In my area back around 1980 you could buy a very decent house $25-$40k by selling a $1000 face value bag of junk silver. Silver was high and houses were cheap with 18% Mtgs.
