Strippers Declare Inflation Dead in Zero-Coupon Bonds

Headline of the week! Strippers are normally bullish on dollars aren't they?

heh, yeah that headline was a bit odd.

Someone had a sense of humor and decided to use it.

 

yeah im thinking strippers then *BAM*...Volker...

 

Is there something wrong with me?
The moment I saw the thread title I thought of treasury STRIPS and not... you know, exotic dancers.

 

Yes , but I guess it is easy to mix up. there was another example of a guy who posted his occupation as "stripper and hooker" on an online job site... he was in construction... oops

 

"Inflation is dead" is more palatable than "Deflation to collapse everything". :eek:

 

Deflation makes sense, I mean if college grads earn 30K, then a 2 liter bottle of coke should cost 50 cents and a home 90K.


Remember if it is hard to earn an honest dollar, then inflation should not be happening. The only reason we had it was because people were borrowing money to the hilt.
