Notice that all Central Banks were reducing their balance sheets in 2018. Result: declining stock markets across the globe. Look what has happened in the last three weeks. Central Banks have printed $250 billion of fiat currency and stock markets across the globe have soared.
The entire Potemkin recovery and stock market bull since 2009 has been solely based upon the printing presses of central bankers working at the behest of the corrupt ingrained establishment. The second they take their foot off the gas, stock markets will collapse again. Can they print to infinity with no negative consequences? That is the question.

“Can they print to infinity with no negative consequences? That is the question.”
IMHO they are going to continue printing, whether admitted or not. So, the actual question then is, given that how will you respond?
There will be negative consequences (already are). Minimize the affects on yourself and your family.
A few of the leading conservative pundits–e.g., Schiff, Stockman–have asserted that central banks can’t get away with this again; they’re “out of dry powder” I read about a hundred times. Never made sense to me. They concoct “dry powder” out of nothing. Sooner or later they’ll go too far and everything will crash, yes, but why this time? It didn’t happen the last few times. And here we see they’re in the process of getting away with it again (and I imagine the Exchange Stabilization Fund has been madly printing under the table as well). Print fiat currencies, markets zoom, gold falls; stop printing, markets crater, gold rises; repeat until the currency dies.
They can continue as long as they want with consequences only to you and I.
Just look to South America to see the consequences.
Right, consequences for the people NOT TPTB.
They think that the destruction and replacement of the existing system of currency exchange, trade, and accounting will be managed t the benefit of the crew running the destruction. Nations have to go away, and any pretense of liberty (real choice, not just the simulacrum we are moving toward) or privacy for individuals has to be voluntarily surrendered.
They want, need, to keep the machine running during the switcheroo to keep things from falling apart. If they calibrate things properly, enough people will suffer just enough to swap whatever is left of their human dignity for a data plan or Uber ride, or “free” tuition or whatever.
How the debt/equity re-allocation scam will be carried out is the sticking point. Somehow, they have to get people to voluntarily give up claims on property through debt instruments, and people in possession of (but not owners of much if any real equity) property have to relinquish the idea that they are owners of anything, and agree to being permanent tenants.
I still don’t see how the derivatives get unwound without bloodshed, but I am not that bright. All I see there is a mess. It will be interesting to watch.
Each time it requires more Fiat to produce the same percentage rise in stocks according to old school methods of tracking things like money printing, velocity, shares traded etc.. Now there is no price discovery of anything, by design. As Bob P mentioned, how do you explain PM’s dropping when Fiat is increasing. Illegal naked shorts is the quick answer but that’s just a symptom. Try price discovery of rents people you know are paying.
My point is that it will be difficult to know which round of printing will take us to Zimbabwe. It’s enough to know that all roads now lead to Zimbabwe except the Yellow Brick Road.
Untangling the mess is like getting to see the Wizard.
Nobody gets to see The Wizard. Not no way, not no how.
America is now a No Limits poker game of ordinary citizens vs the Central Bankster Money Printing Syndicate (TPTB). The Homeless are being vacuumed up at night by FEMA, processed for resettlement in old Walmarts, and then permanently resettled…Over one thousand California ex-Homeowners are permanently missing but their remains have been resettled…the Useless Idiots will be told by the government/MSM that the laws restricting CO2, gas taxes, Chemtrails etc are to stop Global Warming right up to the night they freeze.
RHS..
I don’t doubt you about the homeowners, but I don’t know what it’s about. Can you give me a quick rundown. Thanks.
A look into our future: A LETTER FROM ZIMBABWE WHERE THE COUNTRY IS IN TOTAL SHUTDOWN.
“We are now in our third day of complete shutdown throughout the whole of Zimbabwe. Banks are closed, schools are closed, roads are closed in and out of the main towns and transport systems have shut down.
There are no newspapers to be bought, the Internet has been shut down by the government and everything is at a complete standstill.
People are too afraid to move around as a result of the burning of vehicles by vigilante groups and the complete dearth of any updated information or warnings due to the total social media blackout. This means that no WhatsApp messages or photos can be sent, no one can access Facebook or Messenger, and the situation is very tense.”
But wait, it gets worse.
The crisis was precipitated on Sunday (January 13) by President Emmerson Mnangagwa when he announced a shock increase of 200 percent in the fuel price – this in a country with more than 90 percent unemployment and where the struggle to survive escalates daily. Mr Mnangagwa promptly left the country for Russia and has not returned”
