They’re trying to scare the $$$$ out from the corporate mattresses. Business is holding on to Trillions because they can’t invest it in growth right now since we have pinheads running the government.

So the pinheads are trying to stir up fears of inflation in an effort to scare the businesses into letting go of their money. But here’s the problem. So long as consumer confidence is down, demand is down. That is anti-inflation.

Inflation is caused by increasing the monetary base (printing money). The only thing we need now is the velocity (circulation) and there’s inflation.

I agree. It really doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me right now as to why industrial commodities should rise.

Here’s what’s occurred to me:

1. I don’t see the industrial demand. The economy is moribund, and it will remain that way until Obama and his Marxist Rat allies are kicked out for good.

2. I don’t see systemic inflation kicking in for at least a couple of years. If anything, deflationary forces are at work right now.

So, I wonder what the motivation is for commodity price rises:

1. Long term investment, while the dollar is still worth something?

2. Money from the rigged stock market has fled into commodities?

3. A nefarious scheme using leverage for a pump and dump operation by Soro, et. al.?

4. A scheme by the Fed to counter deflation by leveraged purchases in the commodities futures markets?

Anybody care to comment?
