Billionaires Dumping Stocks, Economist Knows Why

Post by MachineGhost » Thu Feb 26, 2015 7:50 pm

[quote=http://www.moneynews.com/MKTNews/billio ... id/450265/]It starts with the reckless strategy of the Federal Reserve to print a massive amount of money out of thin air in an attempt to stimulate the economy.

“These funds haven’t made it into the markets and the economy yet. But it is a mathematical certainty that once the dam breaks, and this money passes through the reserves and hits the markets, inflation will surge,”? said Wiedemer.

“Once you hit 10% inflation, 10-year Treasury bonds lose about half their value. And by 20%, any value is all but gone. Interest rates will increase dramatically at this point, and that will cause real estate values to collapse. And the stock market will collapse as a consequence of these other problems.”? [/quote]
