You need to come up from your basement sometimes and learn from a sophisticated former $2 trillion hedge fund manager:
This appeal to authority nonsense is not a valid argument. You claim that people are trying to preserve capital and looking for safe havens to do it. Stocks have far higher counterparty risk than Bitcoin and metals. They can just suspend trading on the market at a whim. Stocks are complete garbage as a "safe haven". Stocks are more like an unsafe haven.
You say things like metals and Bitcoin can't absorb enough flight capital so they're not valid LOL. HELLO? That's the most bullish thing on earth you could say for the future prices of Bitcoin and metals. Armstrong has brainwashed himself through constant repetition of playing the Jew's paper wealth shuffling game and thinks that fraudulent game will just continue forever.
r0ach you are an extreme case of a delusion tinfoil hat.
Get a grip on reality dude. The mainstream doesn't have a clue about the things that worry you. If you mentioned these points to them, they'd look at you like you've lost your mind and are babbling idiot crying "The Sky is Falling". They would think putting $million of physical gold in a vault is much more dangerous, illiquid, and volatile pricing than buying some stock certificates. Remember it is the millionaires who drive the markets, not the small investor who is always the last to the party when the millionaires are cashing out.
You also still don't seem to understand relative size and liquidity and you are too damn stubborn to realize you are a Dunning-Kruger idiot in this case.
I'll remind you about this in a few years if I am still around after USD and US stocks have done precisely what Armstrong and I have told you they will do.
I can definitely see how bond yields go lower in the US, but how low can they go and what are the repercussions for the rest of the world? I would suggest very bad for insurance industry, pensions, corp debt.
We need that to totally break the confidence in the USA after the strong USD also destroys as I mentioned in the prior posts.
This will force the private sector to AAA corporate and stocks to seek yield. Then those will bubble and peak and finally after that USD stampede bubble completes, everything will be burnt to the ground. So we can do the global monetary reset. There will be very little resistance by that time to it, because confidence will be in the abyss. TPTB are doing creative destruction now.
You're operating under the assumption that the US can militarily hold every other nation on earth hostage and prevent them from divesting from the dollar in the middle of the biggest economic crisis ever? The US can't go to war with every nation at once. Russia and China are nuclear powers, they don't have to listen. Other nations will go rogue as well. It's not possible to maintain USD monopoly through this.
Divesting from the dollar would really upset the apple cart. Not that it isn't coming in time anyway (an orderly move to SDR is likely), but seeing how intertwined the world is financially, a big, disorderly, pronounced move away from the USD would provoke massive reactions. Most developing nations have high corporate dollar denominated debt loads so who knows the ramifications there. Trade deals would be blown apart, tariffs introduced.
The rest of the world is short the dollar and the strong dollar will burn the rest of the world economy to the ground in a dollar liquidity vortex that sucks everything into the dollar, because the more the short bankrupts the rest of the world, the more capital will stampede out of the rest of the world and into the dollar.
The divestment from the dollar will come in a monetary reset agreed to by all the nations. A "Bretton Woods" accord of the G20 perhaps. It will be done with the stroke of a pen.
