wages are 60% of inflation
starting about 2001 the was billions of peeps added to labor pool that will work for a buck a day
inflation is a TOAST for a long, long time
worldwide govt easy money
plus NO inflation
equals the prefect set-up for MUCH higher stock prices
Think a second.
oil was 147 copper,corn, wheat etc was at historical highs in 06-07
the MF cpi/ppi didnt move.
global inflation was non existent
the global economy with a massive cheap labor pool is the REAL story
need more proof?
go to cost or wally world and check prices on stuff…think back 10 years ago.
The world wide govt stim that saved our ass from a guns and ammo scorecard will NOT cause inflation because of massive new labor pool for many many years
“global competition for the world’s resources”
you WILL see new highs blown out on oil, copper,wheat etc etc SOON
without inflation

Also, what happens if US creditors decide they do not want to hold dollars and would rather buy something else with those dollars? Would that not proove inflationary at some point?
Shania, time to slow things down a little.
The US gov’t has spent roughly $3.5 TRILLION to stop this recession, to no avail. If you think there is not going to be an inflation threat in the years going forward, you have some serious blinders on…
Man looks into the Abyss, and there’s nothin’ staring back at him. At that moment, man finds his character, and that’s what keeps him out of the Abys
The fact that the govt has spent trillions with interest rates at zero and no inflation in site should concern people.
Responding to the troll simply encourages him Shania, unless of course you were replying to the serious replies.
I don’t know Shania, in it’s most basic causation, inflation is the devaluation of M2 that is no longer backed by precious metals i.e. ‘fiat’ dilution by adding additional currency.
The printing presses are running 24 / 7 at the moment to the point that if they're not careful they will print us into a Keynesian 'Liquidity Trap'. When unemployment turns around the devaluation of property will finally shore up, then Ben and his helicopter will have us up to our chins in debt. The only way they will be able to pay the bills is by devaluating the crap out of our currency by printing more and more. IF inflation doesn't come a knocking we are going to be in another place that's much worse.
