If it looks like either the stock market or the housing market is about to crash, the fed will print unlimited amounts of money to prevent that.

The only problem is that the rational action with that knowledge is to buy in as soon as possible, with all your cash, thereby making the bubble even bigger. It's a death spiral of inflation.
