Yay for you!!!
You actually have probably as much “value” as you did to start October!!!
Because the dollar has dropped from 79.60 index on October 3,2011 to 74.99 today.
So while your heart skips a beat with glee at your ‘gains’, you really gained nothing excepting noting that it’s just like Zimbabwe. A dozen eggs might cost $1,000,000, it doesn’t make it worth that amount.
amazing how many people just don’t understand the basics
a foot is a foot... whether you measure in inches so that there are 12 inches in a foot... or 24. it’s still a foot.
printing more money and jacking up the debt is akin to shrinking the size of the inch. in which case, 24 inches would still result in only 1 foot.
