Why: CBA MD today , Resi property growth in the major cities this year expected to be 8% plus. Share market continues to climb both here and the US. Used car prices . Increasing .. Just don't understand why.
Money is bring printed up at such a massive pace, it has to go somewhere. With interest rates at zero percent, who wants to park excess cash? A lot of people like quality hard assets, housing, shares etc. As to bitcoin? Well there's a of crazy people out there too. When there's so much money sloshing around it's not surprising. All boats rise with the tide. We've seen this in history plenty of times before. Just wait until the velocity of money picks up, then you'll start to really see some serious action (I'm talking about the I word).
this is what I think too. Combined with covid which is fueling an even bigger bubble. All IMO, of course.
Yes true print money ,worked for Germans in late 20s/30s .Buy yes a lot of people have money no bank interest so thus it fuels the share and property market .
my view is 20~30% market correction 2nd half this year, then 5~8% inflation in 2022. 8% or more unemployment in the US.
I have no idea what is driving prices up for housing, shares, cars, basketball cards, guitars, coins and everything else in-between. It's quite frightening actually as to where people are getting money from to drive the prices of all this crap up. The bubble is going to not only burst, it's going to ****en explode!
The best thing about it, I have not spent a single dollar on bitcoins. All mine have been mined over the last 9 years.
The problem is cashing out and not having the taxman get his grubby fingers on it. Car is fine haven't had anytime lately was thinking of going to mountain high pies on Sunday to blow the dust off the car
inflation. And You can't fight the fed. More inflation coming. Resi RE is going to continue to boom....
Well we know what comes with inflation.......higher interest rates. What then???? Might be about time for that broken clock to be right??
Yet the Reserve bank reckon the next 5 years low rates ? One would not want to be living on the income from bank interest as so many retires do.
