If the federal reserve can simply prop up asset prices at whatever level they want, then we are in a new era.
I'm not sure I like it.
I think a word we are going to be hearing more of over the next 6-12 months is "stagflation." Some people used to estimate that it takes about 1 year or a bit more for money supply increases to turn into inflation. But then that didn't seem to hold any longer. I guess I'm just too set in my ways to start believing there's no connection left at all.
