Great video! It leads me to ponder the following question: Could this behavior of mass migration into "financially repressive" asset classes be seen as perfectly rational when one considers that by artificially supressing interest rates to near zero levels, the theoretical and market values of ALL capital assets become dangerously over-inflated? As soon as interest rates return to their natural equilibria, the NPVs of all cashflow-generating assets should implode, so why remain invested in them?

Thanks for sharing. Do you guys at Trim Tabs have a way of measuring the amount of money leaving brokerage accounts back into checking and savings accounts ? and if so has there been any increase in flow leaving the brokerages since the MF Global incident and the public becoming aware of re-re-hypothocation of account funds ?
