Today's investor positioning is the reverse of 1945: US savings institutions hold very little government debt (with much held by foreigners, foreign central banks, and the Fed) and are heavily overweight the S&P 500, so under repression there is likely to be a shift away from equities toward debt, posing a major risk given how globally overweight US equities are.

Evidence Quote

The British definitely have more in US equities than they have in British equities. So you can see the risk here. This is not where we were at the end of World War II.
