What am I missing? Is that a train coming at me or am I Chicken Little?

The inflation/deflation debate.

As far as I am concern, the game is not over yet.

Right now, we are having a monetary deflation as noted by decline asset values in house, stock…etc. We are also having a consumer price inflation in energy and food that I feel mostly is driven by speculation.

If the U.S. government doesn’t print any more money, we will eventually deflate.

If the U.S. government decides to print money to monetize debt, we will hyper-inflate.

The debate should be, can/would the U.S. government monetize the debt. They have the next move, and your move should depend on their move.

What does the untrained eye look for to know when the fed/govt monetizes the debt or not. Is there a specific action or buzz word that means that the fed is running the printers 24/7?

Don’t you love capitalism? Smart people are having a hard time figuring out how to preserve the fruit of their labor! When unsure, diversify.

It’s called the Money Supply. There are various govt. published figures that track it (M1, M2, M3) with M3 being the most important. But wait, guess what? The Fed stopped publishing M3 (the most important of the three) in 2006! See this link for more info:

The way to tell when the Fed turned on the spigot used to be as simple as watching M3. But, apparently some kind of politics have hidden it from public consumption. Maybe the Fed/Govt. got concerned that the public would actually find out how drastically they were de-basing our currency!
