This thread was asking what it means "when the debt bubble bursts" Could you at least waffle about that.

The answer - in the context of how the original phrase had been used when it was suggested to the OP in the thread they mentioned in post #1 - was already given in post #2. And in some follow up posts, others have expanded for other interpretations of what might be meant by a debt bubble bursting in common parlance.
So, there is no need to waffle more about what the phrase "debt bubble bursting" means. It's already covered, we no know what the phrase means, and the thread can close and had been silent for a fortnight.
Except you decided to reopen it to post about an article from Stepek talking about whether shares were overvalued relative to corporate profit margins, which doesn't really answer the original question here about bonds, does it? You're probably not the best person to demand that someone who *has* already answered the original question, goes back on track.

One could contend that he doesn't give much thought as to the signs to watch out for, as he writes sensationalist headlines for any type of data, often taking contrary positions about what the data means on alternate articles, with a bias to negativity. The point is not to take much notice of what moneyweek write, as they are a clickbait sensationalist magazine slapped together by hacks, imho.
Of course with such a scattergun approach to reporting interesting or useful financial information they will say some sensible things from time to time. But most readers won't be able to distinguish those nuggets of wheat from the chaff - and rather than reading the articles and shorting everything it might be better to skip such articles entirely because of the low bar they have previously set for themselves.
The articles are often re hashes of existing stories.
THIS WEEK there is SOME NEW DATA that SOMEONE HAS SAID means SOME TYPE of ASSET COULD or MIGHT or WILL, DEFINITELY or PROBABLY, either CRASH or BE A GOOD TIME TO BUY IT.
