Hi Mrarman. In the derivative market the debt is to each other, in the commercial market the debt is to the commercial banks and regional banks, public debt is owed to high street banks and building societies. Government debt is owed to the holders of that govs currency. When interest rates are very low there is low risk in debt but now the rates are rising, in the so called fight against inflation, the risk to the lenders is increasing via default. Bank failures are on the cards and a credit squeeze will see many Cos default and go into liquidation. It is my opinion that the next crash will be horrific and calling it "doomsday" is just silly. Better to be prepared for the worst than be an Ostrich. ATB Speedy
