US Dollar drop more?
Inflation going forward?

Hyperinflation is a lock. Oil over $100, Gold over $1000 in 2008. Take that to the bank.

I agree w/hyperinflation... I think a lot of people do not realize that the fed is printing up USD's like water. The Gov does not even publicly display M3 anymore, wonder why?
[/ QUOTE ]
Actually no. The Fed quit collecting data to do M3 because it was expensive to collect the data and didn't provide info that was worth the cost. What M3 info is so significant that it gives different picture than M2 lets say?

If the inflation rate is 6, 7, 8, 9+ %, you will need your investments to return that much more when take inflation into consideration.
If you have a 15% return on the year and inflation is at 8%, your return does not look so good.
In about 3 years (2010), check out the prices for the consumables that you use everyday. Food and Gas... Come back to this thread then...

The biggest factor in pricing goods and services is
labor costs and this is so by a
landslide.
But this what makes markets. It should be quite easy to get money on the hyperinflation scenario.
