Dow Jones On The *LONGEST* Winning Streak since Clinton, WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a difference between increasing the money supply of a nation to match the increased amount of value that nation produces, vs. increasing the money supply to devalue the debts that a nation has to its own citizens, or to neighboring countries that lent the money in the first place.

Using inflation to devalue debts is the strategy our government currently takes. It does not do so for the public good.

I agree. But I was just showing people an example of inflation that could be a good thing. Very mild controlled inflation (1-3%) might be a good thing to keep the economy growing, credit available and encouraging innovations. Even though it's a form of theft.. depending on who you are and what your goals are you may or may not agree with the social policy.

If shadowstats is to be believed current inflation is way too high.

Btw, the decision to inflate mildly (not like now) is a lot like the decision to have estate taxes. It's a social policy that takes from the rich, who might otherwise be hoarding the money, and provide more opportunities to those who aren't rich. It's theft, but depending on who you are you may or may not like the policy. Some rich and upper class may like it too.. because it increases credit availability giving more opportunity for innovators and bringing us into the future.

Not saying I necessarily agree with it though.
 
Never-mind about the estate tax. That money goes directly to the government so it doesn't increase credit availability and opportunities for innovators. Mild inflation does though because those with money need to invest it somewhere for it to retain it's value over time.

Earning money is like grabbing handfuls of sand and watching it slip through your fingers.

Looks like we might be in store for a big market drop tomorrow. News from the Euro Zone pertaining to Cyprus has our premarkets trading down 1% already. You can bet that institutional buyers will be selling tomorrow to lock in nice 1st Quarter gains. Short float will go up as well. Unless this is an overreaction on the news, and we might recover, I sense a 2-3% move down tomorrow!
