The deflation thread was going in all sorts of directions so I decided to make this thread for inflation and monetary policy related news. I´ll be adding related articles as I come across them. I´ll also be using this thread to disprove the idea that speculation is what´s driving up the commodities complex.
First up: Chinese demand for physical silver has quadrupled as the inflation rate in China climbs.
Surging inflation in China, India, wider Asia and much of the world is of course positive for gold and silver as it will likely lead to an even greater appetite for the precious metals in order to protect against the ravages of inflation and the further depreciation of paper currencies.

But then I wouldn´t have the satisfaction of telling Aria "I told you so."
The chances of that happening are slim based on the relative knowledge of both of you on topics you bring up yourself. So save me a lot of heartache and start a blog please.
Or, at the very least, take this and the rest of your conspiracy theories to the Cesspool.
He was in Ayn Rand's inner circle back in the day and wrote articles (books?) about his support formthe gold standard.
Dude sold his soul to the Fed.

Selling his soul implies that he somehow betrayed his prior beliefs. Making more money available to the glorious private sector in order for them to do what they want with it was 100% in line with his earlier beliefs and ideals.

I don´t have that ability. Besides, how is this different from mockeries thread?

Because you don't know the definition of shut the fuck up nor do you have a clue on what a real debate is or how to determine when you've lost.
Now that we are here I can tell you exactly how I feel about your theories:
You're a fucking clueless child who thinks that you know everything just because you've read a few books. Well, guess what: I've read a few books too and I know I have more experience in most of the drivel you post about than you do textbook knowledge.
So do me a favor - and everyone else in here - and bring your bullshit conspiracy theories about peak oil, stagflation / inflation / deflation / wtflation, and anything else about economics in here where people aren't constrained by the GF rules when you continue to ignore better arguments against your position.
In other words, I really want to smack you upside your head. You remind me so much of my brother when he was younger - as least he got some common sense eventually. You, however, seem bound and determined to be an asshat for the rest of your life because you know better than anyone else in here.
The pieces of shit that have ruined our economy in return for personal profit would love to lock in our currency relative to China instead of letting the system balance itself out. They can get a few more years of profit out of it that way.

Hey ? I double dog dare you to start another thread in the GF Don't take that crap from Q he's all talk and no action. Show him you have the stones to stand up to unjustness cuz Mockery is getting away with it.
