The money supply is rising at $50 billion per week. Even lowly M2 went up by $33B in the last reporting week.

So where is the deflation that everybody is calling for ? Where ?

IMO the odds of money supply ever going down in a big way are 0.

Should I get excited about about a lowly $5 billion bank or SIV loss here or there, while total money supply is out of control ?

I am not excited. Can anybody show me any deflation after all this years ?

- show me crude oil at $40/barrel
- show me M2 money supply going down to 6 trillion or lower ( it is 7.6 right now )
- show me food prices at my local market going down to where they were 3 years ago
- show me gold going down to $500
- show me nominal house prices going down 70-80% from the peak
- show me a $200 billion corporate or bank loss
- show me the dollar going back to parity with the euro
- show me gasoline going back down to a buck
- show me CPI at -6% ( which would equal -1% true inflation rate)
- show me the Dow at 5,000

Good luck waiting !
