Virtual Wealth and Real Wealth

- Philippe Herlin - GoldBroker

I would argue that the vast majority of wealth at all levels is virtual, while the debts are real.
The classic example of the day is underwater mortgages. When home prices fell, any supposed equity evaporated.
Whenever the stock market declines, any virtual wealth is exposed for what it is: fairy dust and unicorn droppings.
Nothing has definitive value until the money changes hands.
Today, asset valuations may greatly surpass debt. Tomorrow's valuation could easily fail to cover the debts owed against them.
The exit door is very narrow and few will get out in time. The rest will stack up like so much firewood.
Each must decide for themselves what assets will retain value, either inherent or by utility.
Choose wisely.
