Just wait until the FED starts purchasing securities when we enter negative interest rates and high inflation via MMT.

They're a way to consolidate capital into centralized hands to more easily manipulate and control the market to cover up for monetary policy failures utterly ruining the markets in the process and surprising no one with any understanding of markets when they totally collapse, especially given the fact that additional deleterious microstructure changes take place along side this typically.

It doesnt support the economy, its supports the price.
If crypto should tech you anything its that price > fundamentals

They print so much fucking money they have no clue what to do with it
At least it's better than all that fiat being pumped into real est...oh...wait

Do the banks actually own them, or are they owned by clients that have their retirement IRAs/401ks/whatever Japan's equivalent is? Broker-Dealer registration of client assets is common, and if that's the case this guy is trying to make he's intentionally FUDing.

Not sure if Japanese banks operate like US BDs, but that's the vibe I'm getting.

This is the fate of every nation Japan is just the testing ground
We're all turning japanese
The fed buys anything directly and indirectly
Stock markets a joke

>>13955379
no one thinks that'll happen
the problem is real capitalism is dead and you've got zombie companies populated with retards as a consequence
i know i've seen the change over the past 10 years doing bits of consulting on and off

What
No Japan
No buy

>>13955558
yeah this would be important to know. if the ntire market is essentially nationalized, then thats the most fucked up thing ive heard all week considering japan is big enough to affect the world.

Why can't you accept diversity in the modern day corporate structure anon?

>>13955017
this. Can't wait for the fed to just start printing money and buying all the fucking assets to keep the economy afloat and also completely fucking over the value of the dollar at the same time


SURELY this will work out. You can't go in debt forever, its the law of fucking nature. Sooner or later the chickens gonna come home to roost. Better to put a small fire out than a big one. But it's too late now.

>you can't just go into debt forever
The entire system is based on going into debt forever. The US owes more as debt than there is USD in existence, and in order to pay off the debt, the US has to borrow more money... The entire point of the Fed is to just print money to give the US infinite money that it can do as it pleases with, and then to use inflation to inflate away the debt into nothing.
It's all a sham

>>13956615
this is exactly why you cant be fucking with the laws of nature

in the animal kingdom, you fuck the tiger over, you get eaten


In the human kindgom, you fuck over ever country you owe debt to, you get fucking killed by nukes


I guess it's time to use the next bull run to buy a nuclear bunker
