Alle Artikel mit dem TAG: Inflation

Don’t listen to the short-term rhetoric of the politicians and don’t listen to the optimism of the central banks. Just stay focused on what has to happen to keep the financial system functioning and that is unlimited money printing.

Europe will implode if they don’t print massive amounts of money. The banking system is bust and sovereign states are all running massive deficits, but I am convinced they won’t let it implode. Instead they will continue to print and the printing will accelerate.

The needs will run into the trillions of euros. The one trillion euros printed in the last four months is nothing compared to what they need to print in coming months. We are talking many, many trillions of euros and it could be tens of trillions of euros over time.

So don’t get fooled by politicians saying the news is better, it isn’t. There is nothing that can make it better because the whole financial world is rotten at its core.

Everyone loves an early inflation. The effects at the beginning of inflation are all good. There is steepened money expansion, rising government spending, increased government budget deficits, booming stock markets, and spectacular general prosperity, all in the midst of temporarily stable prices. Everyone benefits, and no one pays.

That is the early part of the cycle. In the later inflation, on the other hand, the effects are all bad. The government may steadily increase the money inflation in order to stave off the latter effects, but the latter effects patiently wait. In the terminal inflation, there is faltering prosperity, tightness of money, falling stock markets, rising taxes, still larger government deficits, and still roaring money expansion, now accompanied by soaring prices and ineffectiveness of al traditional remedies. Everyone pays and no one benefits. That is the full cycle of every inflation.

Jens O. Parsson: Dying of Money

We are all focused on the short-term and that’s natural, but let’s step back and look at the longer-term picture because that is really what is important for us today and for the next few years. The bigger picture is so important because very few people understand that the last 100 years are exceptional in history.

The prosperity that we’ve had since the early 1900s, to a great extent is governed by massive money printing. Let’s just take GDP for example. In the first 50 years of the 1900s, for every dollar of debt about five dollars of GDP was generated. So five times the amount of debt created was generated in GDP in the US.

Over the last eleven years, for every dollar of debt creation only six cents of GDP has been generated. That’s six cents compared to five dollars. That is just incredible.

But because less than 1% of world financial assets are in gold, we have yet to really see the gold market react to all of this massive money printing. Once the gold market starts reacting to all of this, that’s when gold is going to go exponential.

It doesn’t matter whether investors are buying gold at $1,600 or $1,800, it’s irrelevant in the long-run. What’s important is they are invested in physical gold in order to preserve their wealth.

I believe that QE both will and must start very soon. This will either happen in April or the gold market will anticipate its start at that time. The Treasury bond market, which is going down fast, is already smelling inflation and QE. So I believe we are nearing the time period where gold will have an explosive move to the upside.

Gold Will React to the $120 Trillion of Additional Debt

Spannbauer: Wie verhält sich Gold in der Krise?

Hervorragender, sehr informativer und sachlicher Text von Gerhard Spannbauer. Liefert alles, was der Einsteiger zum Thema Inflation, Deflation, Hyperinflation und zukünftige Entwicklung des Papiergeldsystems wissen muß.

Um Wachstum zu generieren, benötigt man dauerhafte Einnahmen. Sparprogramme und neue Kreditlinien können niemals die Basis einer gesunden Volkswirtschaft sein. Wir befinden uns weiter in einem riesigen Schneeball-System. Die Rechnung wird von einem Schuldner zum anderen weitergereicht und landet am Ende per Inflation oder Vermögensschnitt beim Bürger.

Es passiert genau das, was wir schon seit Jahren genau für die Zeit vor dem Knall 2012 und 2013 angekündigt und erklärt haben. Die Notenbanken packen die ganz großen Geldkeulen aus, manipulieren damit die Zinsen und Märkte, und das wird nicht ohne Wirkung bleiben - weder auf die Inflation, noch auf die Zinsen, Aktien oder die Realwirtschaft bezogen.

In so einem Umfeld können sich Börsenkurse ganz extrem (positiv) von der Realwirtschaft abkoppeln. Von daher werden wir schon in den nächsten Tagen an den Märkten wieder Fahrt nach oben aufnehmen. Das gilt für Aktien genauso wie für die Rohstoffe und vor allem die Edelmetalle.

Wer von einer Pleite der EZB spricht, der sollte sich mal fragen, ob jemand pleite gehen kann, der unbegrenzt und zu null Kosten Geld drucken kann.

Die Inflation juckt die EZB im aktuellen Stadium des System-Überlebenskampfes doch schon lange nicht mehr!
