You've been waiting for it. The billionaires who orchestrated the economic crumble profiting as it worsened by selling short have revealed the rest of the plan. Big corporations are buying up the distressed smaller corporations who were not prepared for a floundering economy.
Pulte Homes acquires Centex. With it they acquire home assets that can only go up in value.
In my community there is now a Chase Bank on every corner. It happened in the last month or two. It had to be two or three chains that have been absorbed.
This same thing occured during other troubled times including the Greater Depression (this being the Lessor Depression).
"Several billionaires will be created the old-fashioned way: investing in distressed assets. Opportunistic investors like David Bonderman and Ronald Perelman made billions during the last financial crisis, buying up distressed mortgages and financial assets at cut-rate prices from bankrupt firms in the 1980s--in some cases, with funding supplied by Uncle Sam--and selling them for big profits years later."
