Keith ---A great analysis ---the wealth effect has definitely disappeared. As of yesterday the market had lost a trillion dollars in value to Alan chasing inflation that was not there . Oil is an issue he cannot control except by putting us in a recession ( He is working on it ) . The last time I check you do not have a budget surplus normally in a recession . Something for the politicians to think about . Again very well thought out ---no technology ---no way to increase productivity ---thus inflation BEST WISHES BILL

<Everyone knows the only threat of inflation is energy - electricty, natural gas, and oil. > Everyone except me Keith. I heard that USA unemployment is really low and the economy is roaring ahead. People will want pay raises to keep working if they can wander off to somewhere else and get a better job. Companies will need to pay more to keep people. They will do that because they are selling $$trillions into The New Paradigm and profits are growing. I've borrowed heaps of cheap US$ to buy more New Paradigm shares. I borrowed because I think the interest rates are way below the returns I'll get on those New Paradigm shares [Q! for example]. A lot more people borrowing means interest rates go up as there are not enough people wanting to hold cash instead of shares. Stuff like that. It all adds up to a booming USA and world economy, inflationary pressures and demand for higher interest rates by lenders, including Alan Green$pan. There is plenty of competition. Gas stations on every corner. Computer designs by the hundred [or thousand]. Operating systems coming out our ears. Wireless networks breeding like bunnies. Hordes of competing airlines filling the skies. Houses for sale everywhere. Cars from revamped Minis to Lexus, Ford, Hyundai and Fiat. I don't know what you mean by lack of competition. If people don't like high interest rates, they shouldn't borrow the money. Simple really. If they think interest rates are too high, they should try being lenders instead of borrowers. People should not whine about interest rates, they should simply choose whether to be a lender or borrower. I think Green$pan is not too focused on oil. There are bigger fish to fry. Oil is a 20th century game. The New Paradigm is what It's about. Mqurice
