I am actually in the multiple-dip deflation adjusted deflation camp for the next 10 years. I am actually in the multiple-dip inflation adjusted deflation camp for the next 10 years. LOL. There is no inflation I have been told, but my WalMart caddy keeps costing more every months, as my stamps or newspapers. Agree on the the timing of the through. I wager 2008-2015 in a painfull managed dip after dip slide. WSJ today: U.S. auto sales surged 13% last month, spurred by no-interest financing offers. Electronics retailers have been hurt by the financing plans, as consumers opt to spend their money on cars instead of TVs, DVD players and other gadgets. I guess J6P will buy bonds after he'll have his 4th SUV. Then as yields keep falling, will buy into housing with a larger garage. <g> Housing bubble (lower and median segment) still to unfold. But with 6 to 13 years to wait before buying real-estate or in the inflation lead recovery, I doubt I still will be solvent <vbg>. In a sense, bonds could be the current play. I remember of negative yields in the eighties.
