Thanks BMK, will do!

Why short tech UW - what is the theory there? I'm slowly buying into gold/metal ETFs, and will probably try and buy a second house to pay off the mortgage with greatly inflated dollars. :) Thanks.

Baller.

Sorry, but this is going to be a very, very newbish question. I'm convinced that the U.S. dollar is going to depreciate big time versus other currencies where their governments are not printing money at 23% annual clips. What is the best way to take advantage of this? I think the...

So concealed carry would make your soft punanny feel safer and happy?

So, let me then ask the next question. If it was the dollar depreciating against world currencies in the 70s (along with the old shock) that led to all the inflation, when the dollar quit depreciating, and oil prices stabilized (and actually came down), wouldn't the inflation naturally stop on...

By the way HelloDollar, did that weak dollar disappoint you? :)

Well the dollar being weak, in some cases decimated, from 1965 to 1980 would explain a whole lot of it! :)

1. What were the effects beyond U.S. shores based on the Bretton Woods collapse, etc.? If it was that other currencies appreciated versus the dollar I can understand that would lead to rising prices in the U.S. Is that what happened? If not, what? 2. Other domestic policies - how did those...

Never read it but I want to now - love "system" books. Even if the systems are worthless they can still be fun reads. :)

But where was this "too much money" coming from if the government was not running huge deficits that were being funded by the Fed printing the money and buying the government bonds?

So, but I was under the impression that significant budget deficits (since the 40s) did not come into effect until the Regan years in the 1980s (and even then it was a minute amount compared to today's numbers). I am also under the impression that the Fed does not just print money and hand it...

Damn, that's a nice GIF. It should have fetched at least a cool million.

I know oil prices went up big, but it was CHRONIC inflation. I was under the impression that chronic, long-term inflation can only go on if the government is printing the money that leads to the inflation. Otherwise, with a fixed amount of money in the economy, massive long-term inflation...

winstonwee (sorry for quoting your quote of him JSOP), let me try and come at this with a slightly different angle. You keep saying your system lets you buy low and sell high, and asking if people have a better solution for this. I don't think there is a better solution, because like I, JSOP...

INFLATION IS COMING.

Oh SNAP, I didn't see the inverted numbers on the left. I wonder why they inverted the numbers - why not leave them as they would normally be and to more clearly show how the index tracked the margin debt. But I dunno, I'm Mr. Dense. :) Thanks IamTheCasino!

So, I guess I see that generally. But how does that play in with your point about margin getting called? If the use of margin is DOWN now and heading LOWER, wouldn't that mean the risk of stock prices declining through future margin calls is being reduced? And thank you for your kind words. :)

When you say price discrepancy between the bitcoin ETFs, what ETFs are you referring to jeenywestwong? I thought the first one just opened up in Canada like just the other day. What tickers are you referring to? Thanks!

I'm not sure I understand the point - the chart shows margin debt way low and going down, isn't that a bullish sign if anything, given it means more juice is there to buy stock going forward?
