Checked but I think the bigger blackpill is that not you nor your broker have control of the stocks you "own". If brokers want to play in the market making game, they have to respect those with control over them. Imagine pointing the fingers at your obscure-to-the-public masters and thinking you can continue with business as usual. Risk of "shut it down" is higher and results in total loss if they do that, whereas blaming anonymous "clearing house procedures" gets them, at most, some bad publicity.

It was not a RH decision.

It goes all the way back to Cede & Co.
>Cede technically owns substantially all of the publicly issued stock in the United States

If brokers can't get the shares cleared through the turbojews, retailcucks can't buy. Also surprising that nobody knows that what they "own" through their brokerage is just a contractual claim on the actual stock... owned by Cede & Co.

I think Portfolio Balance is the bigger dick here, because its just math. Most of the money is in institutional funds, like pension funds that hold a lot of bonds, and when Treasuries gib a lower yield that has to be substituted with equities further down the risk curve.

No but they want to put their savings into something that can't be inflated away or confiscated. Argentina has been defaulting on debts for 50 years and each time devaluing the currency by 30%-60%. So if you have $10k in your savings account, in 1 day it becomes $5k. People want to avoid that, so holding gold or bitcoin is less risky than holding pesos. People do trade goods tho, like TP for beans, milk for eggs, etc.

My guess is regulation reset, something like this >>22394484 and >>22394752 or at the very least another Special Purpose Vehicle for emergency liquidity.

The bond bull play is IMO riskier than the PM play because to assume that congress won't act to stop a deflationary spiral means that the US and the whole private sector default on denbts.
