[QUOTE="JScott, post: 936557, member: 132"] There's a big difference between asset inflation and CPI inflation... The Fed measures CPI inflation. And as far as I can tell, for commodities that haven't had major supply chain disruptions due to Covid, we're not seeing out-of-control inflation. This is true for most commodities... Gas is no more expensive than it was two years ago at this time. Milk is right around 2015 prices. New cars are right around 2015 prices. Pick your favorite commodity that doesn't have a fragile supply chain, and prices are most likely not at an all time high (and may even be at an all-time low). Of course, there are exceptions... And most of those exceptions are well explained by supply chain disruptions. As for asset inflation, we're seeing lots of that. Interestingly, the value of the equities markets has increased by about the same amount as the M2 currency supply has increased over the past 12 months. And real estate values have increased tremendously as supply levels are lower than they've been in over a decade. And speculative investments are through the roof. Coincidence that lack of supply is pushing up prices or that stimulus money flowing to corporations and the wealthy is propping up equities and speculative investments? I'll let you decide... :) Regardless, if you think hyper-inflation is here, I would suggest putting every penny you have into hard assets. Buy lots of gold and crypto to trade with, and make sure you stock up on guns and ammo to protect your physical holdings. Okay, now while everyone is busy screaming about the sky falling, I'm going to get back to making shitloads of money... [/QUOTE]
