Will the Fed hyper-inflate to solve today's economic problems?
*Dow Theory Letters, Richard Russell, September 21, 2007:
"The Fed is currently increasing M-3, the broad money supply, at a
14% rate, and if the economy doesn't respond to that, they'll push the
M-3 growth rate even higher -- to 15%, 17% or 20%, whatever it takes.
They'll also drop interest rates again -- and again. If, despite all
the Fed's machinations, the economy doesn't respond, we could easily
experience something akin to hyper-inflation as the Fed funds go
totally wild.
Ironically, all this is providing the ideal background for gold. For
our protection, it's OK to sell dollars and switch into euros or
Canadian loonies (dollars), but what if we're moving into a situation
which can best be termed competitive devaluations? That's a condition
where all fiat currencies tend to lose purchasing power? And what would
these various currencies be losing purchasing power against? Currently,
the fiat currencies are losing purchasing power against wheat, soy
beans, heating oil, gasoline, basic foods such as bread and vegetables
along with the cost of utilities, medical care, college tuition. And,
of course, fiat currencies have been losing against gold."
