Everyone knows the stock market is in fantasyland without central banks. Without QE, the S&P would probably be at 1,000 level today instead...

Yeah, but Nikkei is still > 50% below its peak over 20 years ago with a central bank determined to be the next Weimar/Zimbabwe. Long Nikkei, Short Yen, Short JGB!?

Would help to avoid the Wipe Out from one bad trade, or series of trades.
