Whoops! I just read this on your yahoo groups and didn't realized it was posted here.

Teresa, dumb question: I don't understand how injecting liquidity i.e. printing money actually works. It makes no sense to me. There's only more paper. I know Greenie did that before Y2K also. I know it helped fuel the bubble. But it seems like an emperor's new clothes mirage. How does it actually impact the underlying economy, bonds, stocks etc. You say it leads to inflation?

So what would an investor (if someone likes to partly invest, partly trade) do at this point?

Also, I do think there's one tiny miscalculation in your scenario, and its boomer psychology. I don't think boomers will retire. They may do what you're doing--i.e. they may work part-time, consult, or whatever, but they will keep working.
