First Fuel, Now Metals - Forecasts Lowered

all this credit flooding the market and 30 year mortgages going up to prove it (?)

what do those silly banks know about pending inflation that i don't?

lots.

Why Oil and Gold Are Headed Much Higher

i appreciate consider_this' perspective of artfully balancing wealth creation/destruction in a zero-sum sensibility, but have to ask: "when the sideline cash jumps back into these markets (houses/stocks) become valuable again, won't the printed money still be out there?"

To me, unless there's some missing variable (or twenty), it's not *if* inflation, but when. Could be a long time before we see these massive losses 're-appear' as market recovery, but didn't the S&P pick up a large amount of it's previous high within a year of the 2002 dump?
