Ok, I see oil doesn't count because it's deflationary. So does "Peak" apply to Copper, Nickel, and the many other commodities which have gone vertical? The correlation is amazing! Is it because of double-digit money supply growth world wide? Or is that deflationary as well? I know your position by the way, so no need to frantically repeat it. I just think its lame because there is no way to make money off correcting defintions. In the end the goal is profits whether you have deflation, inflation, or whatever.

have clarified my stance on oil a thousand times but it looks like I have to do it 1001 times. Mish why is trotsky so smart to stop repeating himself here for FREE - but here you are doing the opposite of him? Even Gilder stopped coming here repeating himself for free but you know something more than them eh? What is tooearly to think - if you had something valuable to say or worth reading you wouldn't be giving it away for free - so 1001 is your limit? There won't be a 1002? Trotsky had enough - so did tradermike - so did so many others - even you only post on your blog stuff the big boys reject eh? Throwing your crumbs to the masses and saving the good stuff where you get paid - yet you still come here and post for FREE - why? It confuses me. Either you really believe what you do is valuable and worth being paid for or you don't. Chen has mass gold hoards - he needs to get other people to buy into his selling of the gold meme or he will have a worthless investment - I understand his motivations - but you keep posting for free and I don't think you have nearly the gold hoard he does - or have you fooled me and are in your backyard digging holes everyday like he does?

The problem is that is a damn lot of typing when I believe people know damn well what my position is. Yes, Mish, you have provided the same argument ad nauseum. Sometimes presented very cogently, sometimes very angrily. Sometimes treating the person you're attempting to convince very respectfully, sometimes treating them quite a bit less so. The point you seem to miss is that it isn't how often you present the argument or in what mood your are when you present it, some of us have read your thoughts, evaluated your conclusions, looked at what we were seeing, blended it all with our educations and experience and have found that your position just doesn't address adequately the issue of inflation as it presents itself here in America at this time. Your allowing anger to show in your posts won't serve to either further the case of your logic or intimidate any of us into being believers. For example, statements like: I have clarified my stance on oil a thousand times but it looks like I have to do it 1001 times. The impact of reading that type of statement by you (and you use it perhaps far more often than you realize) does your image no good. It sounds more like the start of a hissy fit than the start of a response by a reasonable man to an issue under discussion. ["He started it!"] is no defense. It is like you are saying we who disagree with you are brain dead morons who just can't seem to grasp what you in your not so infinite patience have tried, and tried, and tried, to enlighten us with. You continually refuse to budge from your Austrian-wannabe approach to inflation and that is certainly your right, but please don't treat us like idiots because we don't buy your arguments. Healthy interaction by bright people is what helps us all evolve a deeper understanding of the world in which we find ourselves. Displaying tantrums interupts the process (although it sometimes replaces it with unintended humorous entertainment). Timba
