Inflation everywhere?

[Arraya]

We’ve been inflating for 60 years and the biggest bubble in history pops and people scream “oh no INFLATION!” lol

The system is inherently inflationary, it is what it wants to do. Just look at the value of the dollar over time.

Now the biggest influence on stopping deflation was, not printing, but convincing people that we were going to inflate. Because the collectives habits are about the strongest force out there.

People stop taking out debt and withdraw money from the market the economy deflates to the size of a pea overnight. Bernake could drop pallets of hundreds in downtown LA and it would not matter a lick if people did not play along.

Now behind the perception we have the reality of a supremely deflationary dynamic. The default mechanics apply “natural” deflationary pressure. Now granted, the system has been short circuited – private mortgage market replaced with government, massive government spending, accounting tricks(which is essentially pretending value is there when it’s not), etc… But still we are in a deflationary cycle – meaning without massive support *systemically* and perception wise a deflationary cycle would ensue. There are few things that could trigger a deflationary collapse , oil spike, new war, national default, etc.. Anything that would panic the herd. And I believe their are enough black swans out there to do it at some point.

[quote=flu][quote=faterikcartman][quote=sobmaz]It is not about Wal-Mart or Home Depot raising prices it is about your dollar being worth less.

Gold is not up, the value of your dollar is down so it takes more dollars to buy the same gold.

When you hear the terms Quantitative easing spouted by the FED just remember it is another term for PRINTING MONEY.

Those with savings are being robbed blind, those with massive debts, like the Federal Government are making out like bandits. Banks are doing pretty good too. Money lent to banks at zero percent is lent to the public for 5 to 23 percent. And the looming inflation will help the banks with their realestate, eventually.

If you have wealth, don’t keep it in cash.[/quote]

Yes, yes, and yes; but where should the cash go? Use it to buy an expensive asset with a lot of debt and pay the debt off with inflated dollars? What asset won’t depreciate? Or what is the alternate answer?[/quote]

diversification..

I’m doing
1)Some in equities
2)Some in precious metals and energy and commodities
3)Some in cash
4)Some in a low interest loan in a primary home
5)A rental property
6)Some full time job
7)Some sidetime gig.
8)some “Investment” in bling.

Don’t know which way the wind is blowing, but everything cant fail, right?[/quote]

Hey Flu, could it be time for farming companies like CRESY and new ipo AGRO to make a run like the rare earths? (I got some AGRO on Friday in the mid 11’s.)

“As food and energy prices rise, consumers will be forced to adjust their spending habits: paying 30% – 100% more for food at the grocery store means less money spent at movie theaters, electronic stores and restaurants. In turn, this spending adjustment in discretionary consumer spending means more people will lose their jobs, and so too will people in the industries that support those markets.”
