If so, then doesn't it make sense that the Fed will try to Reinflate to save itself? Since it is owned by the Private Banks who's assets are Deflating. <BR/>I would agree with the previous poster that they would rather save the Rich through Inflation than take the hit of Deflation with the rest of us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5975869446501122263.post-41118893545462813002008-07-03T13:49:00.000-05:002008-07-03T13:49:00.000-05:00how about the dollar - and as a step further, euro companies deriving revenues from U.S operations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5975869446501122263.post-38315902987044750182008-07-02T11:04:00.000-05:002008-07-02T11:04:00.000-05:00mike, glad you brought that up. from what i've been finding, it seems that gold is the place to go in both an inflationary and deflationary environment. it's puzzling at first, but when you sit down and really think it through, it makes sense.<BR/><BR/>however, its tough finding anything else really worthwhile putting money into in that kind of scenarioJ.

Two of which are...<BR/><BR/>1. Were headed for serious deflation<BR/>2.

If he is correct there will be no place to hide. Deflation is what the rich fear. Inflation they are cool with since it only kills the lower and middle class<BR/><BR/>So tell me where would you place your money in a deflationary environment? Think 1930s.<BR/><BR/>As the guys in Minyanville say - we have deflation in the things we want, we have inflation in the things we need. We have inflation now - the question becomes as credit contracts worldwide in our shadow banking system do all roads lead to deflation? If so, we are all in troubleTraderMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06241756200482130281noreply@blogger.com
