Infusing several trillion dollars into the economy via various means...Fed...Treasury...checks to every American etc.

All while productivity is in a death spiral.

When the US pulls out of this, inflation will be the new wildfire.

Leverage low rates now and buy real estate.

That remains to be seen.

The economy is about to go into a temporary deflationary spiral.

The measures are designed to address that.

Without increases in effective demand (i.e., people actually have money to spend) you cannot have inflation, no matter how much you “print”.

Remember the ol' news reel footage of the atomic tests, where the blast blows over houses, trucks, and trees - then the vacuum sucks it all back the other way - might be a good analogy of what's about to happen.

I'm watching the huge divergence between the paper metals and the real thing. For example, Silver Eagles are selling for $24, while contract spot is $12.85, currently.
