The FED just got caught handing out another 15 trillion to their buddies. The dollar is going to continue it's descent. Soon we will be dreaming about the days when gas was just $3 a gallon.

Also, India and China have now agreed to buy Iran's oil using gold rather than dollars. Iran is a big player in OPEC so we might see the other OPEC countries follow suit. If anyone here invests it would be wise to buy gold now before it spikes.

Those are 1999 dollars ... the 2012 dollar has a lot less purchasing power due to overprinting by the Fed than the dollar in 1999

If you ready my previous post you would see that $1.13 in 1999 SKYROCKETS to a near unbelievable $1.54 in 2012 dollars. That increase is so staggering it almost blows the mind.

It is still a 36% increase.

But BT is probably talking about how valuable the dollar is relative to gold, not the normal inflation numbers most people use. I would guess the the price for an ounce of gold went up by more than 36% between 1999 and 2012.

No , you are counting the "government's number" for inflation ... nowhere even close to the reality as we are seeing now. The correct estimation of inflation has gas being $3.61 in 2012 dollars

Souorce : http://www.halfhill.com/inflation.html [ set it for shadowstats } and you will see who is really tracking the true rate of rising prices and who is lying

Lets say a widget costs $5.00 in 2010.


In 2011 a widget is 5% better at widgeting and it costs $5.05.


Is this inflation?


In 2012 the widget is unchanged, but a parts shortage in Asia along with increased demand from new buyers in India drives prices to $5.25.


Is this the fault of the Fed?


You are going to get both of these wrong.
