It's a ponzi. Inflation is part of the system design.
The FED and their buddies are printing money again!! Guess what the stock markets do when the FED prints money!! You get magical stock market bull runs! Print money, buy stocks, stocks go up. What can go wrong?!
I'm not complaining! Bull markets are much easier to ride. Just buy every dip, then proceed to roll stop losses higher and higher into profit. The post-2008 stock market has been an endless gravy train.
Duh! You can't stop printing money in a ponzi scheme, stupid!
I don't doubt what you're saying, but I've also been hearing it for decades now. When will it actually collapse?
You can ride it until it blows up.
When will it collapse? As soon as growth is no longer exponential.
Like every ponzi scheme, it requires exponential growth of the user base in order to stay afloat. When production and/or human births and workforce no longer grow exponentially, the collapse is inevitable.
They can't print more money to pump the markets unless there's more people (slave workforce) to keep the system running.
