<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jolumoga, post: 26712345, member: 41780&quot;]This is a bit of a puzzle, because we know the money supply keeps growing, and I view official statistics on inflation with skepticism (though not at the John Williams of Shadowstats level). When I talk about inflation, I am informally alluding to the M2 money supply - this can grow significantly while official inflation numbers are subdued. No, I am not an economist, so feel free to slam me (I am open to be corrected by anyone). So you have the depreciating value of the U.S. dollar over time (think boiling frog), and you have global instability that includes a desire to be independent of the U.S. dollar by many nations, and you have nations treating natural resources as strategic assets and hoarding them (such as China), and also retail and institutional traders that have erased the boundaries of what were previously conceived of as nations where silver investing is popular vs. not. It&#039;s tough to untangle this knot and figure out what&#039;s the greater force at any moment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
