Stocks excelled during Weimar and survived afterwards. This is what we are seeing now and it has been a similar story in Venezuela. Basically when the dollar goes down, stocks go up due to inflation and the fact that nobody wants to hold onto their dollars which are losing their value. Right now is the time that the rich get very rich, and the poor get very poor. They are obliterating the middle class. If you don't own your house and your assets now, you will be screwed out of a future.
