Excessive wealth threatens NYC with power shortages

In another amazing fact of our time, JPMorgan warned of the threat to NYC electricity from the wattage needed with excessive digital wealth:
'Another week, another high for equities' is the resigned way JPMorgan's Jan Loeys begins his discussion of "bubbles" this week - the massive gains in equity markets, in a month and a year of lower economic growth and earnings expectations, are raising a warning flag for many investors that easy money and liquidity are creating serious asset bubbles that threaten future growth and investment returns. Simply put, "a bubble view is a view that the Fed will stay easy for too long" and will then have to stamp on the brakes when growth and inflation suddenly react to easy money; and "a sudden spurt in growth is the biggest risk to asset reflation."
