The other important point to note here is that the article is supposed to be about the imminent threat of inflation, but the author ends up using Japan as an indicator of what's to come for the U.S.

Japan's decades-long problem is its deflationary quagmire, not inflation.

My favorite quote from “Heavy Metal”.......”You die, she dies, everybody dies!”

[Orange1998]

Deflation is the game played today. We are exporting our inflation to other countries but they are catching on to Ben trickery. Now it’s a race to see who can devalue the fastest. Then one day the worm will turn and inflation will run rampant.

Currently, The stock market is over heated and uncle Ben appears to be pulling out liquidity. He can’t afford inflation to speed up so he uses his tool
box behind the curtain. He knows the risk of raising interest rates and will do anything to avoid higher rates.

Uncle Ben is gambling that the market will strengthen enough to claw back all the QE money floating around as credit. If he is wrong there will be what I call “The Big Reset”. Nothing we can do about it but hold on and watch it happen.
