that is the precise beauty of gold now

it thrives during deflation
if govt succeeds in generating inflation, it will thrive even more
during the transition, it will thrive during stagflation
however long it lasts
I think stagflation will last a long time, as debt continues to struggle, and profit margins totally disappear with rising supply and energy costs
the depression in profits will continue for a long time also

the potential debt collapse will stick around like cat piss on a living room carpet, leaving stagflation to endure

the greater likelihood is for deflation to continue in the product sectors
and for inflation to escalate within commodities
debt drives the product sector
regulations limit the commodity sectors

the dollar crisis upcoming will render the current imbalances even more imbalanced
