UConn James Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 The Color of Money: Coincidence? By the time the Benbern(b)anke is done, it'll be worth the same....
TPS Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 The Color of Money: Coincidence? By the time the Benbern(b)anke is done, it'll be worth the same.... You guys keep spouting this stuff, but the reality is that with all of the so-called "money printing" that has been done, measured inflation is not outside of normal. In fact, now oil is falling, as are many other commodities, and the gold bubble appears to be bursting. Measured inflation will fall over the next few months. Bernanke does not print money and give it to people. There is a process for how FED interventions impact demand and prices. It makes for good talking (radio) head chatter or internet postings, but bad if you're trying to make some money on that wrong-headed belief. Just ask Bill Gross.

Oil is falling because there is a risk of a global recession, if it weren't for the Fed's money printing policies the price of oil would at least be $10 less than what it is. You can't say "see, inflation is dropping, this is proof of the false idea that the Fed is printing money". That is a very intellectually weak and hollow argument to make.

I've been saying the basic argument for years--the Fed's actions do not directly lead to inflation. They can cause speculation about inflation which can impact investments, but not direct inflation. The oil price decline is one of many examples. The real issue is the weak understanding of inflation's cause.

TPS Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Man, you really are thick-headed. Look in the mirror. I am criticizing the belief that what Bernanke has done will cause significant inflation and making the $ like monopoly money. You at least are starting to understand the process, as opposed to your wrongheaded beliefs from 2-3 years ago...
