we are in a depression . put ression and deep inflation equal depression. people in my generation never seen a depression because everywhere to turn people are seen it different this time . i did some researchand guess what ReplyChina’s Leaders Are Opening the Door for Profits [view article]
the picture in china is mixed with the federal government making the right economic noises while lacking chain of command. in beijing the job market is loose for qualified individuals, with most college graduates unable to find work above 1200rmb/mo. that said, the large companies inland find that after learning skills quickly, workers learn to defraud the company. this has forced foreign companies into outsourcing many activities because only Chinese companies can beat their workers. with a culture built for the last forty years on lying and swindles and violence, the pathological lack of transparency, and a generation gap unlike anything foreigners could imagine, investors do well to tread carefully in a booming authoritarian economy that has not yet seen its first economic contraction. ReplyTop Country PEG Ratios: Russia, Singapore, Malaysia [view article]
Lots of variables to consider other than just PEG but it is a place to start research. To that end, I'm looking for a service that tracks the PEG of all stocks on the NYSE and NASDAQ on a daily basis. Anyone know if there is such a service? Thanks.

Interesting analysis, and worthy of further investigation. Perhaps too simplistic to try and boil it down to ETF/CEF investing strategies. ReplyGlobal Inflation Rates [view article]
What are you talking about? There is no absolutely difference between our country and the rest of the world. We are not "special." You are not special. I am not special.The world through the eyes of our English-language media is our own fantasy. If you want reality, learn a foreign language.

Oh I feel so much better that we are better than a bunch of 3rd world countries. Our ridiculous inflation rate seems right at home with our new, pretty, bananna republic colored money. Why not just get Parket Brothers to replace the federal reserve and the treasury? Parker's monopoly money is just the right size for a smaller wallet. ReplyGlobal Inflation Rates [view article]
User 166668:The inflation rate given is for consumers. Producers typically experience the worst end of inflation, probably an average of 7.3%, if I were to venture a guess (or regurgitate what a very competent finance professor said last week). It's entirely possible that you are getting burn worse than that, depending on exactly what industry you are in and a million other variables.
Being a small mfg. only adds to the burn due to economies of scale, decrease in demand for goods in general, and rising wages.
Richard:
definition of median:
The midpoint of the range numbers that are arranged in order of value.
Of course it did not take into account any sort of weight, because doing so would make it and average (mean) instead of a midpoint (the middle number).
I'm not saying that knowing the median does us any good, just that it's not what you seem to think it is.
Dr Bagel:
Excellent point. China's currency is also pegged to the USD, but they are experiencing higher inflation (at least according to these numbers). China's government subsidizes prices to hold them steady, allowing them some control over inflation despite lacking control over their own monetary policy. However, they also have the ability to increase fuel prices 17-18% across the nation over night (they just did). I don't know if these numbers reflect that change, in fact I doubt it, but my point is the same as toofan's, nations with pegged currencies do not necessarily follow the base value.
Aside from all that, who the heck can determine what a basket of goods should include for each country and come up with figures that can meaningfully compare one to another? I definitely agree with the general consensus that inflation is typically understated and inaccurate in my own country (US) and find it hard to imagine that even a minority of the rest of the world is capable of measuring their own.
Also, unrelated, core inflation is meaningless. Perhaps some of you do know someone in the US who does not drive or use fuel, but everyone eats food.
Then again, what do I know? I'm just somekid Reply

DrBagel - Some price effects are country/location specific, real estate, fuel, subsidies - however such a big difference can only be explained that the real inflation data is being supressed. Everyone knows the methods of calculations have changed over the years and many items dropped or weightages changed. User 166668 has a point - ask/feel the pulse, the govt. is BS ReplySchweitzer

Incidentally, It does not appear that the median of the list was based on any form of weighting. ReplySchweitzer

Correction: Japan IS on this list (next to bottom) ReplySchweitzer

Bill Gross had some telling commentary in the June PIMCO Report on the point of an understated U S inflation rate.In fact the global inflation rate may be inaccurate.
Try 7%. A good measure is the number of hours of work (usually at some median wage net of taxes - direct and indirect) is required to obtain the basics of given standards of living.
Discl: Long YEN futures (Japan is not on this list!!) Reply
