"My guess is they don't want hyperinflation. But they do want 5-6% annual inflation rate. They are now distant themselves from the housing speculators by tightening the guildlines. Will it be too late?" This is not a swiss watch that the can set perfectly. It has been tried in the 70's, and look what got....14% consumer inflation rate by 1980. Once the inflationary expectations set in, it is up, up and away.
