Worldwide Economic Recovery Slowing
By Tim McMahon, editor The effects of the Trillion Dollar economic stimulus are wearing off and the "recovery" is looking pale and thin. So it may be time to crank up the printing presses again... According the OECD’s latest Interim Economic Assessment, the world economic recovery may be slowing faster than previously anticipated. Growth in the the seven largest developed countries of France, Germany, Italy, Japan, United Kingdom, United States and Canada is expected to be around 1½ per cent on an annualized basis in the second half of 2010 down from the OECD’s previous estimate of around 1¾ per cent in May. … [Read more...]
Which is Stronger- Inflation or Deflation?
By Tim McMahon, editor Why the Printing Press is No Match for Deflationary Forces- A mere two years ago (although it seems like a lifetime) in August of 2008, inflation was roaring in at 5.37% and the world was talking about hyperinflation. But then along came the housing crash which started the domino effect of deflationary forces. Housing prices, stock prices, asset prices all began falling; triggering margin calls and more liquidation until even Gold (the only investment that is not simultaneously a liability) began to feel the deflationary pressure. By July 2009 a mere 11 months later, everyone was no longer afraid of the inflation monster, but now they were fearing deflation. At … [Read more...]

Gold, Silver, Plus #3, for Profit & Protection
By Deepcaster Equities-in-general have gone nowhere for the past decade (and have lost 30% or more when their prices are adjusted for inflation), and are in a Bear Market, with no end realistically in sight. And most Bonds and CD’s provide miniscule or even negative returns after adjusting for Real Inflation. And even many Commodities have not been consistently appreciating lately. We have long been an advocate of Gold and Silver, "the ultimate monetary metals". We still consider thems our #1 and #2 selections as the best fortress assets for profit and protection. Indeed, Deepcaster has two open ‘Buy’ Recommendations on a particular form of these Metals. And, as regular readers know, … [Read more...]
Energy Inflation- Oil and Gas Inflation
By Tim McMahon, editor It is extremely difficult to decide how over or under priced a commodity is when the scale we are comparing it to is constantly changing. By adjusting for inflation we can see what is happening to the price much easier. It pays to know what prices are in "Inflation Adjusted Terms". Once we adjust the gasoline price for inflation we can see that the average price for a gallon of gas since 1918 in June 2010 dollars is $2.39. So it is easy to tell whether gas is currently "cheap" or "expensive". For instance, the Annual Average gasoline price for 2009 was $2.34, which was extremely close to the long term average price of $2.39. While in 2008 the annual average … [Read more...]
What is the Real Definition of Inflation?
By Tim McMahon Define Inflation: A simple way to define inflation is "an increase in the price you pay for goods" but that only tells part of the story... It could also be seen as a "decline in the purchasing power of your money". But there is more to inflation than that. There are two sides to inflation "Price Inflation" and "Monetary Inflation". Jump to: Inflation Definition | Inflation Cause | Inflation Risk | Inflation Rate | Inflation Hedge Price Inflation vs Monetary Inflation: Technically, Price Inflation is when prices get higher or it takes more money to buy the same item and this is what people commonly think of when they hear the word inflation. Monetary Inflation … [Read more...]

Velocity of Money and Money Multiplier- Why Deflation is Possible
By Tim McMahon Back in 1924, John Maynard Keynes called gold a barbarous relic. There is a thought prevalent these days that deflation is the new barbarous relic. In a speech in November of 2002, Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke said, “I believe that the chance of significant deflation in the United States in the foreseeable future is extremely small… I am confident that the Fed would take whatever means necessary to prevent significant deflation… the effectiveness of anti-deflation policy could be significantly enhanced by cooperation between the monetary and fiscal authorities.” He went on to say, “the U.S. government has a technology, called a printing press (or, today, its … [Read more...]
