Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. Yukis' seed article wasn't that great in that it summarised the process as 'double or nothing' and failed to highlight the self-fulfilling feedback created by fast moving bull markets.
In Australia we have had a long experience of just that ... the wealth created by a booming, leveraged stockmarket interacting with a booming leveraged property market....all in spite of a cycle of regular, albeit small, interest rate rises. wealth creation ---> leveraging ---> more wealth creation ---> a correction ----> the leveraged scales are tipped off balance ---> the unprepared are left holding the parcel when the music stops ---> the cycle starts again (slowly but surely). All based on paper wealth. brian_z --- In [email protected], "hemant sharma" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > AmiBroker User's List>This is a problem with free market capitalism - not race and culture. > > IMO, this is a problem with the way our money is created. > > specifically, this is a problem with collateral based debt money. Land is collateral and land is also the most important investment.
