Thank You Ben Bernanke! Liquidity Trap Anyone?

well its pontless to respond kuz we will spend 4 more pages telling eachother our opinions but ya know. And lol at just having ur employees read them. that would be kidna funny. Although they are not really litterary experts or trained properly on how to read debate essays but whatever.

I don’t want to make you delve deeper if you don’t want to. But do you believe the inflation will affect US domestic gas prices? I feel like recently, oil prices in this nation are not affected at all in relation to the recession.

But thats the point of a thread like this lol. Share your opinion just because people disagree does not mean it has to be ugly. I make my employees do funnier on a near daily basis. Go ahead and send them and I will make one of them give me a 5 page report by the end of the week. It will be epic lulz.

Have you been watching the price of oil? It has tanked. I actually am very bull oil right now it has a ways up to go. Especially after a recovery. To make it simple(but its much more complicated then this) Action like todays rate cut decrease our purchasing power with the USD but since the demand for these commodities is so low it keeps the price down compared to purchasing power so we do not see immediate inflation. However when it comes recovery time and we start needing more of these commodities they will inflate as well when you want more of something and supply goes lower the price goes up it is natural and healthy. BUT! The worry is when we get back to where out demand for a commodity is rising once again that the USD will be so weak that the purchasing power will be so low that we will see a skyrocket in priced of these goods. I can also support both sides of how this might and might not happen as well so take it with a grain of salt. But I will say there is always an equilibrium and it will come back $140 barrel was too high $40 is prob too low and eventually it will find its happy place, along with other goods as well not just oil. But this is as a really, really brief version of what im trying to explain.

rly!? pm me ur email i love criticism of my work, this will be awesome.

I hope you are correct in saying that our government just screwed up(that sounds strange lol). It is just hard for me to imagine so many people being so incredibly ignorant especially with all of their higher education. You might understand my point of view if you read all of my posts from the last 5 years but I certainly don’t expect you to do that. lol

The internet is bad and good because you can get more information than ever before but you can’t always verify it. I have never trusted the main stream media that people have taken as gospel so I guess it makes it easier for me to be more willing to believe the intrawebs. When I mention certain beliefs on here people assume they are my beliefs and I agree with them 100%. I just like to keep my eyes open because the US if filled with scandel. I have admited before that I am jaded and I don’t think that is totally a bad thing. It keeps me vigilant.:slight_smile:

Hey carnut, just to be clear I do not think you’re a nutjob. You either blue eyed. You’re both more cynical and skeptical than I am, but gee you both run businesses and I dont. Strange, eh?

So I bet we can all agree that eventually there will be a recovery. How long till we see the economy start growing again? 6 months? 1 year? 5 years? 20 years?

I really don’t think we will see an up swing for at least 18 months out of this mess…and I think its interested to see what these fed cuts are going to do…which I don’t think will be much.

That makes it even scarier, the talk is that this is different than any of the past dips in the economy. And yes it is at least partly because of the things I have been preaching about.(No that doesn’t make me feel better, just sayin)
We can’t even seem to get a little spark yet.
