Well, its always been my belief that inflation comes from printing....so we've done alot of expansion of the money supply along with the global economy, yes asset growth naturally follows. Recessions are also natural with contractions...we twitch now with every slow down in economic growth. All the capital creation has helped the standard of living for most as long as you've kept pace w/ inflation. Commodities are really the gold standard today. High prices are always the answer to excess liquidity. The problem w/ size is all these profits have to be reinvested somewhere, so globally I think we're all in good shape as long as our individual credit risk is better than our neighbors?<g>
$40 crude might signal a depression that might actually feel like one if excess liquidity is actually dried up enough to curb demand. Don't worry they will be raising the minimum wage often for the poor so they can still afford a loaf of bread and a gallon of gas. Only the rich will be able to afford bottled water?<g> I wouldn't worry until the replacement cost of your home falls below its appreciated value or you can no longer keep pace w/ interest payments?<g> Booyah!
