Inflation is coming?

[suityou01]

'Micro' is Atw understanding of the subject.

David Tice from Federated was on Bloomberg this week saying that the S&P 500 was going to 400 within 6 months. Ouch.

I think he may have a very good point.

Thanks HAB. I did point out my limited grasp of economics in my first post. Buuuuut, I do think I get the difference between micro and macro economics. Doggy was talking Micro, you know the whole we spend more than we make in this country. Strictly Micro. Certain of that. I'm talking about global monetary policy, Lisbon treaty and the global effect of QE in the SDR basket of currencies vs the Renmimbi.

And the whole point of my first post was to look at the big picture, not just the British GDP FFS. So you can say I have an ATW view of economics, fair enough but no one is exactly showing me up here are they?

Now I consider myself correct, until someone categorically gives me six of the best, trousers down (in an economic theory lecturing kind of way you understand). No doubt that will happen, but until then, I am correct.

Thanks for reading.

Inflation will equal rising interest rates

[Doggy Styles]

All the bulls**t in the world - interest rates up and down, inflation or deflation, currencies up and down - it seems to change every month so if we are playing to that we'd be constantly changing our gameplan.

Everyone should just concentrate on getting their own houses in order - spend less, grow more - including the UK. Each country can only do something about what they have control of.

True Mr Styles, very true. There is only so much we can do. And I agree we should keep our own houses in order, of course that much is only common sense. My game plan includes keeping a stern eye on the whole picture, in case at some point I want to not be included in it.

You mean like what the nuLieBore regime has done? Massive government spending, set aside farming and encouraging outsource to unstable parts of the world.

Are you describing the Lisbon treaty? Doesn't that stipulate all IT work will be sent abroad and Western IT folk will be made homeless and thankful for it? And in exchange we get to sell Whisky to India and there will be a fat chance that our big corps will set themselves up out there and will be able to evade Western taxes and our employment/social costs?

Aye, that's the one.

Nice to read some interesting economic posts : mant thanks to all who contributed (but particularly HAB).

Amazing how the lack of atw means economic threads are so much better....

Personally I think inflation is dead this year. I think there is more bad news to come. But I am usually wrong : I hope I am in this case.

WTF? Seriously Brillo? I have read and re-read this thread. I have made some well thought out, constructive and thought provoking comments in this thread (IMHO obviously). And you say particularly HAB? Search through this thread, and highlight to me exactly what this sock puppet has contributed.

TBH, I was not sure anyone had anything to say. It's all well and good saying someone has ATW view of economics, but really, I mean really try and back it up with some substance.

The closest anyone came to contributing was Mr Styles.

I thought that too.

I was gonna say something about the Yuan being decades away from becoming anything like a reserve currency and respond to the other economic quote threads.

But I just can't be arsed today.
