I've been saying that for years. The greatest bubble humankind has ever seen is the inflation bubble. What happens to PMs when it pops?

It won't be allowed to pop - it ensures soverign debt and future government obligations are paid with cheaper money. Unfortunately it also ensures retirements and savings are worth less down the road.

The Fed is responsible for the inflation of the World?

Indeed. This goes more unnoticed as a silent killer. There are fewer with pensions everyday, and those pensions are only as good as the institution supplying the funds, and the funds are only as valuable as the dollar. On top of that much less folks have, and will have pensions. So many more will be relying mostly on SS. Many are $$ unprepared and I assume that number is growing.
But, but - Bernanke promised that he wouldn't let that happen!
Think about it this way - if the government can't pay it's employees, then it will act in its own self-interest. <<Insert your own scenario here>>
I knew it would happen.

Food, gas, and pm's will increase. I will be able to pay my cheap low APR mortgage with inflated pieces of paper all the while selling my pm's to be able keep up with the payments because my income raises hasn't kept up with inflation.
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.

This is EXACTLY opposite of what I was thinking.

of where the pog ends up.
"Fed intervention short-circuits the market driven process that resolves misallocations. The more stimulus that is provided, the harder market forces must work to try to restore equilibrium. As the misallocations grow over time, the efficacy of monetary measures diminishes."
Schiff's insightful opinion on FED policies

<< <i>The greatest bubble ever created is the TBond/otc interest rate contract bubble. When that bursts, PM's will increase their purchasing power over papered assets regardless
of where the pog ends up. >>
BINGO, we have a winner.

So we have a massive parabolic inflationary spike? That lasts how long? Then what?

A gold backed renminbi as the worlds reserve currency and a fiat dollar pegged loosely to it?

I always like to be opposite. Why go with the flow? The swim is more exciting.
