> Maybe... but you need to keep in mind most of these people are not really building a bubble.

No, I'd don't need to keep anything of the sort in mind. I've lived through multiple real-estate and speculation bubbles and crashes now. The arguments you make are the same sort heard before each one, and I can easily anticipate the rationales and excuses that will be offered after the next one.

You don't know how widespread this is. You don't know how many other banks are leaning on this latest house of cards, or how much of this is going on in the US and Europe as well. As far as the banks are concerned it's just one big world of suckers and they play these games everywhere, simultaneously.

And there is no "should." Capital controls will tighten. Wars will happen. Eventually, inevitably, the overhang destabilizes and this heinous crap will blow up.

Again.
