  1. They'll have to create the appearance that they know how to deal with a crisis situation when the Dow Jones gets back below 9000, 8000, 7000 et al. :eek:

  2. Crystal ball predictions have no relevance.

    you're even more stupid than I thought

    why not to check gas prices every day and on days when gas prices are down scream deflation! ?

    MoM headline PPI is not relevant at all because of energy volatility

    If you can read you can see all deflation was because of oil was down 20% in April May

    Core inflation still up 0.2%

    With oil up 15% during previous 10 days you can fully expect headline inflation will be at least 0.5% next month
    and above 6% YoY

  4. Is energy not an expense? You can't disclude energy just because it doesn't support your thesis. Volatile or not, energy prices have an impact on ALL prices in the economy. The price of energy is EXTREMELY important.

    Instead of pretending you can predict the future, why don't we wait until May's PPI numbers come out before pulling random numbers out of your ass?

    I am only concerned with the facts, right now, as I see them. And the facts do not support inflation.

    Please stick to the chit-chat forum where you belong.
