And in the face of out of control inflation, the speculators, funds and investors are desperately piling in to the bond market !

(until yesterday )

Anyway you look at it, long term, they will get slaughtered either directly through a price decline or indirectly through a massive loss of purchasing power.

yeah, but there's a Bennigan's somewhere that lowered its hamburger prices 37.4 percent for a whole afternoon. and somewhere in South Florida, a manicurist is having a tough time. therefore, it's all deflationary. if something goes up in price, just find a similar item of lower quality and you're still ahead. my yard guy raised prices 15% two years in a row, but if i do it myself that's 100% deflation. pay no attention to the 4.9% rise in wages!
