<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SilverSurfer, post: 829422, member: 21603&quot;]I couldn&#039;t find the article I read that mentioned that the inflation in the cost of general items could take up to 8 years, but I did find this article, which basically mentions the reasons for such.&nbsp; You have to read into the information to get that it could be 5-8 years.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.taipanpublishinggroup.com/taipan-daily-020110.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.taipanpublishinggroup.com/taipan-daily-020110.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.taipanpublishinggroup.com/taipan-daily-020110.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This chart is interesting, as it correlates the increase in the money supply with when the peak in inflation happened.&nbsp; You are correct that it mostly happens around 2 years time.&nbsp; But if you look at this chart, there are places where it takes 5 years or even 6 years before the money supply has an effect on prices.&nbsp; A correlates to 1, B correlates to 2, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://whatisnotseen.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/inflation2.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://whatisnotseen.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/inflation2.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://whatisnotseen.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/inflation2.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>You are right, you didn&#039;t mention unemployment.&nbsp; I was just trying to say that the TARP money and stimulus was passed about 18 months ago, and if the money was circulating, it would mean there would be money to go around and people would be getting hired.&nbsp; But, since that isn&#039;t happening yet, one can only surmise that the money is being hoarded.&nbsp; At some point in the future, the hoarding with stop and the money will circulate and people will be hired again.&nbsp; I believe this is when the inflation will happen the worse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
