Yes Ivan, you're wholly right.

The economy is humming along very, very nicely. Not hot, though. Slow, sustainable, low inflationary growth.

Look for a recovery that heads out toward 8 or perhaps 10 years.

Something else I noticed: stores like Wal Mart, Target and Costco appear to be gaining in popularity. I believe that one of the reasons why inflation is under control is due to discount retailers such as these, who continually are aggressive on prices.

Would agree. But, debt is a major concern. How have we avoided inflation with the massive debt / unbalance of trade, etc?

I am afraid to hear the answer.
