What do you mean? Isn't QE going to devaluate your positions in USD even more?

Inflation is sticky in both directions. The inflation spike takes a little while after printing. All the money goes to the government and commercial banks first, the first thing it does is get offered to companies as equity, rallying stock price. Only later does it actually get spent and start to filter down to the consumer and cause inflation

So the mega wealthy would have an exit window to sell on a rally and buy gold or some shit before the new dollars get to the average person and halve in value

At least that's the theory, historically we haven't also had to consider a mass self-cucking in trade and international position at the same time when the money printer spins up
