If "massive inflation is ahead" as you claim, That is THE time to have plenty of debt, so you can pay it off in cheaper dollars.

That IS if your fiat money is accepted?? Google Fiat money and look at the lifespan of each and everyone of them.....NONE ever lasted very long, ALL have died!!

Taking us off the gold standard was the kiss of death, now we just have the can kicked down the road , look at Europe...WERE NEXT FOLKS!!

We have places in the midwest were signs are in stores saying american currency not accepted!!! We also have states that now accept gold and silver as money.

You go to a bank, get that days metals price, and walk out with a debit card...Times are changing folks..

Selling equities to avoid cap gains?...ok, sounds reasonable.
But then what are they buying with the cash? My guess.... Different equities. Watch especially ETFs...easiest place to keep ones equity positions without picking specific companies without the usual "due diligence ". I suspect this area could be a bottom, watch for net buying to pick up after T-giving. Just a guess...no special analysis.

The so-called binary risk on/off moves are, at this point, deeply ingrained. While outliers are to be expected in any statistical observation, 70% or more of market-moving decisions are made by bots. However, even the outliers are fleeting anomalies, created once again by trading algos.
I would add another variable, which can result in gameable payoffs-thinly-traded stocks. Where a stocks 'value' seems inflated relative to its peers, and the inflation relies upon a balance-sheet component (e.g.SHLD and real estate)- a longer-lasting fundamental recognition can take a big bite out of the stock. On the other hand, a stock like ISRG, with a highly valued product, can recover in the blink of an eye. Nonetheless, a sustained anxiety attack will simply (and predictably) drain cash from the equity market.
