I agree with Old MacDonald that we are long past the point of no return. Unfortunately, 99 percent of investors hang on to every word of Fed speak, and truly believe that inflation is "transitory". The Fed will continue to stimulate and print the currency into oblivion, making all paper assets worthless. Without Fed, we have massive deflation and defaults. Pick you poison.
