There is no doubt 1000's pf businesses will go and with it lots hundreds of 1000's of jobs.  My own company which employs over 5000 staff are already looking to ditch 800 to cover the inevitable massive drop in revenue.

The link to the banks is that money lent to businesses and individuals becomes toxic.   Massive amounts of serviceable debt will wipe billions from the banks, and we are back into a 2008 scenario.

Glasgow, you are lucky, I have had £80k wiped off my pension in 4 weeks.  Which means an immediate impact for me, that I need to work a further 2 years before I can retire... that assuming I still have a job.

Correct SR. I have read that can be changed/scraped at the stroke of a pen. The depositors at the bank are the LAST in line. There will be bail-ins not bail-outs. The laws already been changed for this. The real problem with their money printing  is you may have 100k in the future but it will buy you just a tin of beans. If you've already converted to PM's they will always be worth a good amount.

It’s true that gold is a safe harbour in a storm, well as safe as you are likely to find. It might actually be a good investment too if panic sets in.

Equine flew.

That’s largely right, but you’ve missed the fact the horse has already bolted. It’s not ‘if’ debt becomes unserviceable, it’s ‘because it already is’.
If you looked at the recent history of bonds markets you’d have seen long term bonds return miserly yields; this is a sign that companies don’t see where continued growth comes from and so don’t want more debt on top of what they already hold.

With regard the QE, Voltaire was a shred cookie when he said national currencies will ultimately only be worth the paper that’s used in it’s printing.
