g_w, you write that and then say, "Cheers!"?! I'm looking for a razor blade and rolling up my sleeves even as I type this!
Hey, you *told* me you were looking for investments !
Seriously, my point is, debt is inflationary; retirement without money is deflationary; the rest of the world all trying to sell to us at once is deflationary; and come to think of it, the rapid development of India and China is INflationary--but they will only expand rapidly as long as we keep sending them jobs and $$.
Which one will win?
