[quote=Wet_Blanket][quote=howboutshoeshine][quote=Wet_Blanket]It isn’t really about cash - its about demand.  Imagine what would happen if all of a sudden investors, with $8 Trillion, sudden WANT to buy stock?  The increased demand will drive up price.  Unless the company is bringing secondary offerings into the market, supply stays the same.  If the buy side is suddenly exploding, the sell side will raise their asking price.

  Then to get even more confusing, a lot of this money will buy stock on MARGIN - driving up prices further.  (Simply stated).[/quote]   We finally agree. That's exactly why there will be another larger crash.[/quote]   You are stating the obvious - but your timing is off.   Someday the world will end.  There!  I'm both a prophet and 100% correct.[/quote]   This will not be the END of the world. Did Britain disapear after WW2? Nope, basically........non-event. Unless,you are heavy in equities!
