<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jolumoga, post: 1842338, member: 41780&quot;]Yes, deflation can be a horrible thing.&nbsp; I&#039;m just concerned because deflation is sometimes needed for markets to reach healthier price levels -- e.g., the housing market should not be going up the way it did during the last bubble period.&nbsp; I think it&#039;d be better for the Fed to focus more on promoting capital investment rather than personal consumption through the &quot;wealth effect.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree that the little guy is being taken advantage of today, by the way.&nbsp; I think this has a deflationary effect that hurts the economy, since there is less money in the hands of consumers to buy goods and services.&nbsp; Hopefully, there will be a rebalancing soon.</p><p><br /></p><p>[Arguably some of this can be construed as political, but the overall emphasis is economic and how that ties in to bullion investments.&nbsp; Keep in mind that there is gray area in bullion discussions.&nbsp; So I have altered my wording to be more economic in tone.][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
