5. Stock Market Bubble Going to Burst & Unleash Destructive Forces on Global Economy
The Fed has manufactured a parabolic move in the stock market…which is much more aggressive (and thus even more unsustainable) than witnessed at either the 2000 or 2007 stock market tops. Parabolas always collapse – there are never any exceptions – so when the pin finds this bubble it’s going to take down not only our stock market, but unleash a destructive force on the global economy.

Whenever the Fed has decided to reduce the extent of their purchases of “agency” debt products, the SP500 also declined in a dramatic way. [As such,]… it makes it extremely important to contemplate a “tapering” off in the rate of growth of Fed assets, or even an outright end to quantitative easing (QE).
