    At least you've moved from comics to high-speed pictures. Care to answer the question though? Seriously.

    I use what best makes the point. That is my answer, seriously.

    malinvestment that resulted in undisciplined speculation via easy money.

    chickens are coming home to roost, slowly but surely.

    Ugh. Head beating against wall.


    I thought the hyperbole and rhetoric bubble burst last year. Apparently not.

    once the piper is paid.

    I predict more easy money from the bag of tricks to keep the jig going a bit longer. Election coming. image

    That bubble in the last picture looks like a jellyfish. Jellyfish sting the fingers that pokes them. Fingers heal and decide to poke more jellyfish because they forgot how much it hurt the last time because much time has passed.

    There's a metaphor in there somewhere.......maybe? I have no idea.......

    Hey, look at that, it's also a graph of my rate of flying on airplanes, hey, it's also a graph of my spending on rare coins and bullion, no wait, is it a graph of my stock market returns, or is it a graph of my success with the ladies?

    All of the above?

    1980 to 1992---SP500 went from 100 to 400. 5 years later was 800.
    2000 to 2003---SP500 went from 1400 to 900. 5 years later was 1500.
    2008 to 2015---SP500 went from 1200 to 2100. 5 years later will be....?


    So again, what is this deflation of which you speak? It seems the author is asking the same question-- Deflation?

    I never did understand this thread.

    Wealth has not been "deconcentrated". Is that even a word?

    I believe the OP was hinting that if the new funny money from all the QE ever gets to Main Street the result will be inflation. I agree with his premise but I also realize Main Street will never see that money - it was created to benefit a much smaller crowd

    Inflation would be a logical result of "deconcentration" of wealth.

    Individuals who gained wealth would be less likely to invest, more likely to spend.
