Money Supply Indicator Supports Deflation Argument

@doubleguns, yes, i would think gold and silver eagles would be factored in if we use MZM as our money supply indicator, as they are redeemable by cash. i believe, however, we are seeing price suppression in the metals market, and thus these coins are not being given their fair value when redeemed for cash. to the extent we are seeing this type of price suppression MZM is probably less deflationary than it seems.
