<<Surely some of this gusher of liquidity will leak into the world of real goods and services?>>

Fear not, Nadine! The only inflation you'll notice will be in luxuries, like food, energy, shelter and health care. Rest assured that the essentials, like PC's, DVD, DSL access and palmtop doo-dads will be ever-cheaper...<G/NG>

Nadine, >>why do you think the long term trend is deflation when the Fed chairman has clearly shown his willingness to print limitless new supplies of dollars? Surely some of this gusher of liquidity will leak into the world of real goods and services?

I agree that in the short term we will experience inflation from the printing presses. I also believe that this economy will experience deflation at some point in time which all credit bubbles have in the past. Sir.Templeton and Warren Buffets argument for this scenario make sense to me and I am currently going along with them with a portion of my capital.

I sure can be wrong.
