I am interested in some of your statements.

 

'This is the everest of all credit cycles. '

 

Do you have figures(&sources) to back this up? Ie. the fact that the level of borrowing is unprecedented.

 

'When the supply of credit is high/ cost of credit low, underlying
collateral values rise: share prices, real estate prices and bond prices
go up.'

 

I thought when interest rates go up, share prices go down ie. cost of doing business goes up.

 

 

Thanks for your postings.

Regards
