<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2899040, member: 27832&quot;]Oh, I rather suspect it <i>will</i>, maybe even in my lifetime. But it&#039;ll be because inflation has continued, and the dollar is worth a tenth of its current value, and the apocryphal &quot;nice suit&quot; or &quot;gallon of gas/milk&quot; or &quot;loaf of bread&quot; <i>also</i> cost ten times as many nominal dollars. Those of us earning competitive salaries, or living off market-tracking investments, will just be seeing on average one extra digit on our paystubs and receipts.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve expected high inflation for the last twenty years. The fact that we haven&#039;t seen it indicates to me that I don&#039;t understand all inflation&#039;s drivers. That doesn&#039;t especially surprise or worry me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t see anything driving the price of gold or silver <i>ahead</i> of other prices in general, at least not in the long term. I see a few possibilities for them to fall <i>behind</i> other prices -- automated mining (perhaps in space), decreased industrial/jewelry demand, and so forth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
