The entire financial system is defo about to crash. The only 2 questions are when and how far. S&P took a 5% hit in September, comm property bubble ready to burst, and when the 5-7mths lagging indicators catches up with residential property reality, we are north of 10% inflation. Rent and owner/occupier costs are the two heaviest weighted CPI factors in the inflation numbers currently about both about 5% up from 12 months ago, but mortgages are now 40-60% more expensive, and rent is up with 20-30%. None of these figures have yet been included in the ONS work, but they will soon. There is no way this house of cards aren’t coming crashing down, which is also supported by the Buffett Indicator or the Schiller P/E ratio. I am old enough to say this crash is the 4th one in my investing experience, and I reckon it will be larger than 2008/09 which in fact ‘only’ was a banking crisis. Also, this time they can’t just print gazillions of new dollars, as they haven’t withdrawn the gazillions that they injected on temp basis 15 years ago… Yeah, this one will hurt…
