[quote=FlyerInHi]CAr, after all this, are you saying savers are doomed because of the Fed, and because the value of their assets will come crashing down, below what they originally invested + inflation?[/quote]

Savers and people on fixed incomes (including workers) are in one category; investors (and speculators) are in another. One benefits from asset price deflation, the other benefits from asset price inflation.

Savers can be investors, too, but they don’t have to be.
