You say Inflation…I say deflation?!

Inflation.

Gold is hitting all time highs again….aren’t we supposed to be in deflation now? What else is going on?

Note, the Chinese have been net sellers of
US debt the last 2 months. They are using the treasuries rally to diversify from US debt. Will they come back? Please?!

Good comments. I agree that in the mid to longer term 2-7 years stagflation is probably most likely scenario. During that bad 70’s show, inflation was in low double digits and unemployment high. Gold was also at a all time high, nearly $2000 in today’s dollars. So anyhow, I’m holding to my plan, with exception of narrowing downside risk of gold related stocks.

Since original post, we’ve seen widely reported news of potential “currency war” emerging as countries try to get upper hand on exports. Everyone seems to be incented to devalue currency. Heat is increasing on china to appreciate Yuan, they will probably only let it slowly apppreciate.

Bernanke is strongly hinting that there will be large stimulus via asset purchases by the fed, to counter deflation and jumpstart economy.

The recent European sovereign debt problems have me increasing the odds of near/mid term deflation. Next up on deck are Portugal then Espana.

This is probably favorable for gold as a safe haven investment.

Recent moves by Chinese regulators to allow their citizens to invest in gold funds will also probably help gold. Most Chinese investors really have very limited options for investments. Real Estate for last few years have really been a big driver, but with princing getting frothy in many places, I bet speculators are getting nervous.
