<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SilverSurfer, post: 829388, member: 21603&quot;]I don&#039;t believe in the 2 year time for price increases anymore.&nbsp; The factor that is making it take longer and longer is the larger and larger discrepancy of the distribution of the wealth.&nbsp; If rich people get a lot more money, they make up a smaller percentage of people to distribute that wealth.&nbsp; If the money that was created was given to everyone in the U.S. equally, it would have resulted in a much quicker rate of inflation than if a few people sit on it.&nbsp; But, what good is money unless it is to be spent.&nbsp; Unemployment is still very high, and yet prices haven&#039;t come down much.&nbsp; What happens when the economy improves and that money which is being hoarded start to circulate into more and more people&#039;s hands.&nbsp; And more and more people start to be able to afford more things.&nbsp; Prices are sure to go up.&nbsp; But, how long will it take for the unemployment rate to go down.&nbsp; According to your 9 to 18 month idea, people should already be getting new jobs, and the unemployment rate should be going down.&nbsp; It has been 18 months since Oct, 2008.&nbsp; If unemployment continues this way for 2 more years, inflation still wouldn&#039;t have taken affect.&nbsp; It&#039;s the recovery that will fuel the price increases, as more money chases after fewer goods.&nbsp; I think it is more in line with 5-7 years now.&nbsp; This isn&#039;t the 1970&#039;s anymore.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the price of gold going to $700 an ounce in 2013, that came from ABARE.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
