A superb read mish. That's the kind of writing that actually perks me up and makes me feel refreshed from the knowing others are seeing and sensing what is happening and expressing it as well as Jim Puplava. Thanks for the link/Max

mish i highlight this bit from Puplava's writing as it addresses the myth that there is little inflation <<John Q. Investor and his cousin John Q. Public know that their monthly bills keep going up. They just don’t know why. Whenever the inflation index rises, we strip it of its meaning by either changing how it is measured or subtracting the elements from the index that make it rise. The result is that most Americans now live on a steady diet of new debt to augment their living needs. As this graph indicates, the ratio of consumer and mortgage debt to disposable personal income is now at 105%. Would anybody argue that a rise in housing prices of over 20% is not inflationary? Inflation has been with us. It's just that we no longer have the intelligence to call it what is. Even the current real estate boom is being explained in terms of rising demographic trends and a new era in demand for housing.>> i add also the obvious,the price of stocks are themselves an aspect of inflation.Too much money supply drives them to artificial near valueless real value.Max
