    With our debt level, don’t expect interest rates to rise much

    I don't think they can do it because they can't control the outcome. It would crater the market bigly.
    The government is hoping a recovery can put a band aid over the rising inflation. Something has to give. Either inflation or interest rates. I think rising inflation can be tolerated more than rising interests rates at this point. That’s why crypto and precious metals have hit at or close to record highs.
    Especially given the role of housing in our economy. It feeds so many industries. Housing tanks on rising interest rates.
    When the government has to use fiscal jiu jitsu to keep the market from tanking, you know the bottom is about to fall.
    I know. But we’ve been saying this since ... I’ve lost track of when.

    Get enough of a drop and they may go all Japan on us and start printing money to buy Index funds outright. True comedy would be the Fed printing money and using some to buy ARKK...you can’t get much more Zimbabwe than that...
