slackjaw you and i understand the real deal....we invest and we ignore the noise.we learned to stop this crazy predicting the future and we devote our time to learning about how to be better investors and to building better porfolios that meet our goals. we concentrate on buying long term investments
the others still have to figure this out for themselves.
there is always some inflation as there are always things going up but we dont have the pieces of the puzzle yet in place for the type of inflation those folks speak of thats going to cripple us down the road. because when something goes up most of us cant afford to do something else and that loss of sales is what keeps triggering more job loses and pay cuts. then we have less money to spend.
we need jobs and wage growth first....

With "Uncle Ben" keeping the printing presses going full time it won't be long until it looks like 1930's Germany. This time though it's a currency war. Who will drop the most the fastest!
Afterall this is the business, finance, and investing forum so I'd certainly appreciate some additional information so I can plan accordingly. Do you mean in a month? Three months? A year?
I've been hearing the "printing money uh oh massive inflation around the corner" from people for several years now and the exact opposite has been true, are you just joining the chorus with a general "someday" claim that can never be proven wrong since there is always more time to wait for it?

Don't look now but the last month may be an indicator. Here are some of the increases in commodity prices increases in the past month.
All the money that Benny is printing has to go somewhere. It looks like a lot of it is flowing into commodities, which will have inflationary impacts going forward.
or last month may be as much an aboration like the 12% run up in the stock market was .. the bond markets dont seem to think last month was an issue and they can be a pretty powerful indicator of whats next as well. they are pointing more to deflation. i can argue it either way. tell me which side you want me to argue and i can give you a whole list of reasons why the other side is wrong.
so what? we still dont know which will pan out.
