Hmmm... you recommend blue-chip, tech, financial (lol) something else? ;)

I read all the unserviceable national debt signs, but I still can't quite believe that those making the rules wouldn't be capable of digging it out if it was coming to global finance meltdown of everything.

I mean, for the sake of argument - instead of hyperin(/de)flationary collapse (you pays your money you takes your choice), couldn't you just engage in a worldwide outright debt cancellation (i.e. let's cancel all debts and start again)?  I mean, wouldn't it be possible to stop the train if there was worldwide consensus that it was doomsday to do anything else but wipe the blackboard clean, so to speak?

cheers,
