True. Important to be clear. Was lazy because it was not the main point of the comment.
Finance used to be 1 to 2 % of the economy but now is 35% and this has led to all the hyperinflation bubbles of most asset classes except some like gold that are in an artificial inverse bubble (October 2008 - highest fear point but lowest price point for gold).
People that are part of the ever shrinking real economy with ever rising cost of doing business due to asset inflation are moving towards non fractional Bitcoin type currency.
I see slim hope for the current system and see a financial reset on the horizon so am looking to the non finance sectors for hope for the future. China seem to be moving heavily towards cryptocurrencies as a transition solution.
In 2000 stocks crashed - 2008 stocks and real estate crashed - now we are looking at bubbles in stocks, real estate and a huge hidden one in bonds.
Looking for rapid drops in the price of gold as an early warnings of coming market corrections.
