Claude. Inflation? During a super cycle mega debt implosion? You completely misunderstand the big picture, my friend. Other than isolated and temporary pockets of inflation due to genuine supply/demand bottle necks in certain specific sectors AND.... A failing ATTEMPT by Greensputin to reflate in order to get the incumbents reelected next year? THERE WILL BE NO INFLATION!! This is NOT the late 1970s, Claude. That was the K Wave inflation peak. In the 80s and 90s we had disinflation. Now we're clearly moving into a classic K winter deflation. In addition, this is no ordinary K wave decline in prices, wages, etc. It's also a supercycle decline that's much bigger and more severe in it's consequences than a single K wave. Gold will do well because it's the only item in the monetary system that is actually a CREDIT not a debit, irregardless of what CBs and governments cooked balance sheets claim. Even the dollar is a <promise to pay>. Simply another note, marker, IOU. Debt is deflationary and the world financial system, particularly the worlds largest economy and consumer of last resort - the United States - will be devastated by it. Although I've been posting about the unfolding of a primary secular deflationary trend on SI for several years, nspolar has characterized the temporal dimension beautifully by introducing the analogy of a movie in slow motion. Even the average LT investor is accustomed to far too short a perspective to recognize these kind of cycles. It really falls more into the perview of the historian. And speaking with that hat on,<g> my read is we are STILL early in the deflationary sequence of events. It won't really hit home to the majority of analysts and investors until major debt defaults by corporations AWA soverign governments begin to occur in clusters. Tic toc.... Isopatch
