An interesting article. And I point out that the past is far more predictable than the future, and usually with much greater accuracy. Unfortunately, gaining any insight from the past is much more difficult, since it requires knowing and understanding the causes involved.
There is almost no business that can't be mismanaged to the point of failure. That is independent of product quality or desirability.
Managing to success is more difficult, and requires much more skill. Ongoing success requires both a product that satisfies buyer needs and production that allows an adequate profit margin without the cost of production being excessive. Thus success depends on making correct decisions. All of this should be obvious, and even observable.
Certainly it appears to be correct in the statement: " People haven’t begun to imagine the storm we are walking into.”. That looks to me like a very reasonable analysis t hat I wish would be incorrect. Short of a miracle cure for this plague being found, it could be the preamble to the "End times" described in the Christian Bible. Or else like in the last of that book "On the Beach", "This is the way the world ends, Not with a bang, but a whimper."
Manipulating prices seems like it would violate some sort of rules, and certainly it smells of moral corruption. But if the players and rule makers are on the same side then it appears that no changes will be made. Could this be why the public presumes that there is corruption?
Perhaps if "The Fed" were to stop rescuing those who get into trouble because they make dumb choices based on greed, and if it became clear that those who make really dumb choices will be allowed to sink and drown, possibly the dumb choices based on greed would lessen. That would probably benefit the whole rest of us who choose to avoid making dumb choices, especially with borrowed funds.
My reference to " dead water-buffalo fermenting in the high humidity and the hot sun. " is about the incredibly nasty aroma of those beasts that had become casualties of a quite unpopular military action in a rather smaller country located a bit west of southern China.
Unfortunately the printing of all that money will have one effect, which is bidding up the prices of almost everything. And while higher prices do provide a boom effect for the seller, and possibly even the producer, they are certainly a bust for the buyer who has not gotten any of that extra money. Why is this so hard to understand? OR, is the reality that it is doing favor for friends, and "to hell with those who must buy the product". It certainly has the aroma of the economy being manipulated for the benefit of the few.
The moral corruption has the aroma of a dead water-buffalo fermenting in the high humidity and the hot sun. Those who were "there"in 1970 and 1971 certainly know what I mean. (sorry about bringing back memories, guys)
Experience teaches lessons in a rather brutal manner, but a fool will learn in no other way. And now it appears that fools are still refusing to learn. The problem is that the actions of those fools damages others as well.
Unfortunately "the Fed"seems to be complicit in the problem, when adding regulation and limiting credit and refusing to assist would be much better choices.
What will happen if there is nobody able to bail them out when the next big crash happens? When those "to big to fail", FAIL, and there is none available to save them? Then the rest suffer, but nobody learns??
