why? inflation gives companies pricing ability. inflation brings higher rates, which will increase fixed income returns (CDs, MMF, individual bonds, yields on bond funds) -yes principal in bond funds will go down)
3 trillion dollars of wealth has been created in the past 18 months. you can call that funny money, but it is true, the market has rallied, homes have increased, etc.
you can be cynical about all this, if you wish.
wary is always smart.
but it is a fact of life that SOME of the wealth lost has been regained and people feel better about their situation. larry

Anyway guys, George Soros was on CNBC this am...anyone catch the short clip?...anyway he is expecting a very DRAMATIC move up in interest rates, when the jobs picture starts to improve. He was talking dramatically higher, within a compressed period of time. Not always right, but he has a very good record and is perceptive and not afraid to take "the other view". When/if that happens....INTERESTING.
