early warning price inflation signals are everywhere

TOO BAD PEOPLE STILL DONT KNOW WHAT INFLATION IS
OR WHERE IT COMES FROM
OR HOW IT CAN BE MEASURED
OR WHAT IT TAKES TO KILL IT

inflation: the expansion of the money supply, either from direct printing of currency, or expansion of credit

this is really monetary inflation
which ironically produces both price inflation and price deflation
price inflation from the herd chasing and bidding up scarce resources
price deflation as a consequence of the herd building up the production capacity beyond what is justified

yep, some painful price inflation coming before long
but it will be massively twisted in appearance
it must accomodate continued liquidations and price deflation

so Canada is pondering a slightly higher interest rate
this will accelerate the USDollar decline
since the USA has no ability to raise rates
Europe seems in no hurry to close the gap in shorterm rates versus the USA

the differential on shorterm rates will soon be a major story, wrt to world currencies

the threats to the US$ grow daily
