I missed out on the property boom at a personal level because I was not taught the value of debt. So I get your point. We didn't purchase a home because it always seemed like a bubble that simply could not inflate further. All the while, property prices went up, up and up. (referring to Canadian housing)

So mistake made, lesson learned. In a world where money is expensive (fed rate sets the lowerbound), where are the opportunities?

I am not an investing genius or even a decent layman - I am prone to episodes of terrible personal injury - but the obvious answer seems to be "destroy the future, short the present".

Here's a trick, though: if you don't believe in the future, how do you cash out of the present, or out of anything? Now we move into the shadow realm of metaphor and ideology. This has been a pretty big deal since at least 1972, and more urgently since 2008, when all kinds of super-weird-ass money tricks were spawned.
