The rate of the rate of the rise in rising inflation is falling!

[DimPrawn]

UK inflation dips unexpectedly in June - Telegraph

Food up, fuel up, utility costs up, insurances up, etc etc


BUT

Toys are cheaper!

I'm off to get Kerplunk and have a game with Lord Mervin, he with the pension linked to RPI not CPI.

Economists also said the data revived the possibility that the Bank might decide to increase its "quantitative easing" programme of buying up government debt in order to pump more cash into the economy, if the recovery falters.

Oh goodie. so more inflation then!

2nd derivative.

That should confuse the crap out of everybody then.

Just put it into everyday terms. Inflation is the speed of a money printing ball thrown into the air, while the second derivative is the acceleration of the money ball. So if a money ball were thrown into the sky fast enough, and even were the acceleration of the money ball negative, the money ball might never come back and would escape the influence of the money printing machine forever and never come back.

So if inflation reaches 25,000mph we're all flipped?

I'm sorry I cannot be with you this week to take part in all of this gloom, but I have been day trading Yell since last week and have managed to make an extra £12k since Friday to cover any inflation.

Don't let me stop you talking about it though. I'm back off to III.

Sorry buddy, but acceleration is the second derivative of displacement.

The second derivative of velocity is the rate of change of acceleration.

Is the third derivative African or European ?

Dunno, African? Go on, do tell.

The original article was referring to a change in the rate of inflation rather than a third derivative.

Position is generally referred to as displacement as it is a scalar quantity, but they are the same in this case.
