gad, my so called 'good call' lasted just a moment

Yep, same here. I was up about 10 oz per contract when I wrote that post and when I looked after that post I wad down to about plus 6 oz. per contract, and just took profits... and started to plan a Valentine's Day prime rib dinner with a current female squeeze.

... the force feels different ... inflation? of what? for how long? with what actual effect? on what assets and liabilities? to whom?

Just "standard" inflation of stuff one "needs" like great food, hedonic effects on things like sweet snacks & car repair, and not much for less important life style boosting things like new cars... probably lasting into roughly early to mid mid 2019. China will probably intentionally slow down a bit as Xi prepares to give room for ramping up into 2021, so he can get a third term with a better economic record... a man on a mission. I'm still looking at rougher returns in world stock markets starting in 2Q and PR based fear games will ramp up too, especially in the US as elite type power freaks see more of their base evaporate.

As usual YMMV and WTFDIK...
