Economy crash =/= stock market crash?

Andrew Bailey says that this inflation has not been caused by monetary policy - I'm inclined to agree.

Bank of England not to blame for soaring inflation, says Bailey | This is Money

He would say that.  He's lying.

Liar, liar, pants on fire is my favourite argument winner, hands down.

The BOE have got all their predictions wrong about inflation and will panic by the end of the year if inflation isn't going down, so the only thing they can do is be more aggressive in raising interest rates which could be 10% by the end of 2023.

You ever tried predicting inflation?

It likely won't get anywhere near that. Increasing interest rates has almost no effect on rising energy prices which began over a year ago for reasons entirely unrelated to rates (cold weather, no wind, Nord stream 2 etc)

There's a distinct difference between predicting economic downturn and hoping for one and revelling in the outcome. I get the feeling that the OP falls into the latter category.

Rates may technically need to be at that level, given the state of the economy etc.

But they will never get remotely close to that before the economy falls apart.


Politicians and central banks have bankrupted the world.  That's where we're at.  Rates have been reduced to near-zero because that's the only thing keeping the show on the road until they implement whatever the new financial system will be.

The central banks are trapped.  They cannot raise rates.  They may do so another once or twice, and then the wheels will fall off and they will loosen policy again.  At that stage everyone will see they have completely lost control and the whole thing will fall apart.


Does anyone actually think that the FED and the BoE can't see this?  You think they are that incompetent?  No.  They are lying.  If they told the truth the whole thing would fall apart right now whilst you're having your lunch.

And when this happens (and I am inclined to agree with you on this - although perhaps a few more hikes) the markets will go risk on and up we go again, I don't see how this will achieve your 80% crash this time around.

FTSE100 is up 0.13% today so I'm not worried.
