jim-p makes the valid point that Fed bailouts cannot force banks to resume lending given their precarious financial condition. Without credit, business grinds to a halt, meaning severe recession which is deflationary. So we're back to the inflation/deflation debate and each will act according to their beliefs.

I think oil will see $75-85.00 sometime in the 6-9 months, but would not be surprised to see us re-test the highs again.

I was in your camp for a long time on inflation, but now believe the markets will continue to ignore inflation and we end up with deflation.

Time will tell.

Jim
