Ron, RE:"I was discussing DEFLATION and DEPRESSION"... Perhaps you can define the difference between deflation and depression. Feel free to define them in terms of inflation, disinflation and recession. This will help me understand. RE:"Gold went to $800 an ouce primarily due to foolish monetary policy in the early to mid seventies... taking the dollar off the gold standard... and finally, OPEC's shenanigans."... Well, foolish or not, there was a bull market in gold and an opportunity to make moola. If I remember correctly, the US prime rate hit 21%. A pretty good indication of inflation in the pipe. One might say that the run up in internet stocks is foolish as well but I sure wish I'd bought 10k shares of AOl at $1.
