i have no freaking idea what happens to the price of bread or gasoline, This is easy, does the price of bread or gasoline ever go down ? The bells are ringing ! With Bernanke steering the ship towards an inevitable crash, the price of both is going to go through the roof !

Mish I guess we cannot predict the price of oil due to the possibility of peak oil,however most people would expect the prices of most items to fall in deflation.I once asked you why you were long term bullish on gold (thinking of gold as a inflation hedge) and you said it was because gold is money,is not the dollar money.Outside of protectionism or a ever increasing price of oil what else would cause prices in general to rise during deflation? What are possible situations that could cause prices to rise in deflation and how would one see them coming?
