  1. Inflation is it a all time high all over the western world..BOE/FED/ECB.. should raise rates..Inflatition is the enemy to growth.. comments? Time to squeeze those mortgage holders..for buying near the high
     
  2. I agree, but apparently they are taking into consideration that the rest of the world is having some high inflation rates too, so it all equals out.

    Inflation is one enemy of growth, not the only enemy of growth.
     
  4. I think it's safe to say they're being pretty badly squeezed as it is.

    Personally I don't think a raise is necessary,it feels like the whole world is grinding to a halt anyway.

    Likewise,what's the point in cutting rates?They never get passed on to the customer anyway(unless you've got savings).

    For once,they're doing the right thing - nothing.

    If you bought a series of companies and then flooded the market with printed dollars it would make your investment worthless. The will raise rates to protect there investments as a precaution. The HMS valve would have to be concidered in any other situation.

    I would bet they raise rates in the next ten days. They have to for said above reason.
    Does anyone not know the more money out there the less its worth.
