Oh, you do insult people, Fred, you do. This is what you said to me, or don't you remember? >>>>>You need to learn some manners and perhaps get an education beyond high school before I even respond to you anymore<<<<< But, perhaps that's just the way you talk to people, nothing out of the ordinary for you. Edit: of course. You are an habitue of the Insult thread. It all becomes clear. No wonder you are so nasty. techstocks.com

Fred, sometimes an inflationary expansion of money and credit increases product prices and sometimes it inflates the price of financial assets. The big bubbles of this century -the US in the 20's and Japan in the 80's had stable product prices during the boom. You mention excess capacity- much of this came about due to excessive monetary ease in the Asian Tiger economies. Mike

Fred, Our ideas on interest rates are closer than you think. I own T Bond rate puts at the top, so I'm fairly bullish near term. I am not screaming inflation, as I think that it is worse than reported, since the govt. started faking the #s, but not a huge problem. I am much more worried about overcapacity and too much debt and too much debt based speculation. This looks more like the late 1920s than the 1970s, IMHO. And much more of a hike in bond rates will collapse the entire house of cards. Call names if you wish. It can be fun. <g>
