I remember seeing a graph of the German money supply when they had their hyperinflationary depression and if memory serves me right, they had rising inflation, then a brief pause where the money supply went flat, then next came the massive hyperinflation.  Does anybody here have a graph of that period to confirm?

The near vertical drop just witnessed is the beginning of the end where no recovery will evolve or, and most likely, a v-bottom will be put in place and the next rally will be as strong as the fall as far as volatility is concerned.  As the values collapsed the was very little to no support found and as such, on the way back up there will be little resistance that must be overcome except for prior highs witnessed during the first initial wave higher.  This implies that the markets could easily get out of control on the upside as to what we just witnessed on the downside.

One thing we all know for sure is that fiat around the world has been recently expanded like no other time in history … when this hit the markets - there always is a lag period - commodity prices are going to rise substantially and quickly.  What I’m basically saying is that IMO many will be left behind holding fiat because availability of both physicals and shares will be very limited.
