When the Fed stops printing money and raises rates which they literally cannot do for years.



At this point the fed seems trapped, maybe even permanently so - in 5 years asset prices will have been driven multiples higher on fed money and 0% interest. It would take a gargantuan amount of political will get the base rate back to even 3% - bringing down asset prices and corporate/institutional/individual borrowers with them.


The implication being there is no alternative to preserve capital so people will continue to pump up the IPOs and other stocks?
