<So Alan Green$pan gets to print billions for the government, without frightening the horses and causing a stampede out of the dollar into anything else. He can only do that because of The New Paradigm of technological revolution and globalisation. > Well, he's been able to do it so far because of the "perception" of such, this doesn't mean it can continue... in fact you're cognizant of the above fact that Greenspan is just printing away means that the "horses" probably will "frighten" at some point. Your point should make folks very uneasy about holding US$ IMO. <What is happening is that share markets are replacing money [and gold and platinum] as stores of value. Shares are becoming money. > Your point should make folks very uneasy about holding 'shares' IMO. <Holding a broad portfolio of shares is as secure as anything on earth, > At any price??? <People holding cash are suckers!!> At any price?

<<People holding cash are suckers!!>> Ya got it,Maurice! What they don't understand is that the only bad thing about inflation for stocks is that the FED raises rates when we have inflation. Now if AG wants to lower rates.............let the [supposed] inflation drive the stock prices higher...After all shares in something that will benefit from higher prices can't be bad as long as money remains plentiful. Platimun and gold do not generate income as a result of inflation..........But as corporations raise prices earnings increase. Wes keeps saying this market is driven by liquidity.....Okey Dokey....As though it matters what drives prices higher for those of us who own'em. There seems to be plenty more liquidity where this came from. BTW is the fishing as good as advertised down there?
