Fun-da-Mental#1, what is YOUR personal cost of living change per year? The Gubmint tells me that general yearly inflation is in the 2% range. But the increase in my health insurance next year, 15%, alone results in over a 2% increase in my overall cost of living. So, first tell me, what is YOUR yearly cost of living change? Go ahead, get out your old food and energy bills. Oops, sorry, my mistake, that's not CORE inflation! Food and energy are too volatile to look at for short term change! Another Gubmint fricking lie. Yes, they may be too volatile to judge reliably from month to month, but that is no reason to ignore them from YEAR TO YEAR (long enough to iron out the short term volatility wrinkles). But that's what the Gubmint and the CNBC cheerleader pundits do, completely ignore food and energy costs LONG TERM due to their SHORT TERM volatility!!! What a f&@#*!% joke. It's just part of the Gubmint "dumbing down" of the populace, "ignore 'em for a month, hey, just ignore 'em forever, trust us!" So, if you perhaps refuse to be "dumbed down" like the rest, then go ahead, look at your own cost of living. If it is inflating substantially over the lying ass Gubmint figures, as certainly is mine, then what would YOU recommend to counteract this acidic cancer of camouflaged inflation? I'm all ears. If you have no good alternative, then I'll just continue to accumulate PMs and related equities, thank you.
