I agree with you and others that this is artificial and/or irrational.

Any ideas of how to financially position in this wacky era?

I don’t know. In the past (’70s, ‘80s), an economic environment similar in some ways led to high interest rates, but I’m not sure as to whether or not it will happen this time. It’s something to watch for, though.

Some believe that the best thing to do is sell off any weak stocks, and hold cash on the sidelines. Then buy in after the crash.

No telling what the recovery curve looks like...

If the recovery is inflationary in nature, you might be better off in commodities; the thinking there is that they’re necessary and will rise with prices.

Good luck.
