Are you ever amazed at how little Brinker understands inflation and economics? I can't believe he doesn't see that the prices of OIL and gold are MEASURES of inflation and they are high because rates were too low (for too long). The WHOLE PROBLEM with the economy today was not from high rates, it was from banks giving loans to people who could not pay them back, but the banks didn't care because they were making huge fees. We are now going to inflate ourselves out of trouble by dropping money from helicopters to people so they spend again. This chart says it all. Brinker just doesn't get it. Simply amazing. My goal now is to finally get a fixed loan for as much as I can easily afford with rates so low and pay it back as slowly as possible with inflated dollars when we pay the piper. Since 1/1/07 my TIPS funds are up some 15% and the W5000 is down! Gold and Oil are up about 50%! You'd think a "market timer" would have been in Gold or commodities in one of the biggest bull markets in history for them... rather than losing ground to the "highest inflation in 17 years", currently over 4%. Yet the guy blames Bernanke! Incredible.
