these guys have it backwards, energy will reflect inflation but the inflation will be in its own niche it will emanate from SHORTAGES we will still have deflation in the oversupply overcapacitied product sectors that will emanate from EXCESSES but inflation for gasoline, heating, energy generally if we get bigtime inflation among a host of commodities... and continued deflation in a host of product sectors... DO YOU THEN HAVE NO PROBLEM FROM A NET ZERO PRICING PICTURE??? WHICH OVERLOOKS THE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT NOW INCREDIBLY NAIVE, IGNORANT, AND CHILDLIKE VIEW OF THE ECONOMY then you have the Fed Monetization efforts underway which will feed directly into THE PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE COMMODITIES -- undebted / jim
